I'm getting frustrated with this. I know I'm not that stupid, I just can't get my brain wrapped around this process. I'm trying to use discrete functions that are not on the original remote but the manufacturer has a pdf that give additional discrete functions. Here is the information that they have provided me.

NEC Cutom Code: 1AE8h
Function: Power ON
HEX: 0x54
Decimal: 84

I tried to figure out MakeHex but just can't seem to grasp it. I think I need to take another trip to Star$$$$s. Maybe it will give my brain the need boost.

Thanks Guys.
