Hi. I'm hoping someone (John?) can explain the following regarding JVC TV IR codes. In the files section, under discrete codes, the following is listed as the VIDEO 1 discrete for JVC TVs:

0000 006c 0012 0011 0142 00a2 0014 003d 0014 003d 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 003d 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 003d 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 03c5 0014 003d 0014 003d 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 003d 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 003d 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 03d2

The pronto IR tool decodes this as:

Protocol: JVC
Device: 3
OBC: 17
EFC: 121

Protocol:JVC{2}
Device: 3
OBC: 17
EFC: 121

The JVC Discrete IR Code PDF lists VIDEO/INPUT 1 as Custom Code 3, Data Code 11 (HEX) (= 17 DECIMAL).

When I generate the code using makehex and device 3, function 17, I get the following IR code:

0000 006D 0001 0011 0141 00A0 0014 003C 0014 003C 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 003C 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 003C 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 0014 03AE

Which IR Tool decodes as:

Protocol: JVC
Device: 3
OBC: 17
EFC: 121

So my questions are:

1) Are these codes the same?

2) Why does one start with 0000 006C and the other 0000 006D? This seems to be related to the frequency or something, because I noticed that after decoding each with IR Tool, it shows Carrier 006C 108 cycles = 38.381 for one and 006D 109 cycles = 38.029 for the other. Will either work equally well, and why the difference? Is there some reason to prefer one over the other?

3) Why is one longer than the other?

4) What is the difference between "JVC" and "JVC{2}" in the IR tool output?

Thanks!
