I normally don't cross post, but I did post this in the other URC section. Thought it would be good for people new to URC to see.

Try using codesets from the same manufacturer if you model number is not listed in the IR Database. In most cases, another model number uses the same codes, or at least most of the same codes. Also, look at the top of the list of model numbers for an entry labeled something to the affect of "Samsung Discrete Codes 2011" (as an example). Some manufacturers have the discrete codes listed in this manner. You can then drag codes that are missing such as volume and menu control codes from the IR Navigator. Lastly, you can also check the last codeset in any manufacturers list as well as they are the most up to date released.

If you have a Panny TV, here is a tip. The Discretes are listed under [Panasonic 13]

Hope this info helps as I see more and more posts here from people that are new to URC that ask these questions a lot.

Just to add on a bit, if you have a new model of any component, the highest numbered generic IR database listing under that component and manufacturer (ie: [PANASONIC 21] ) contains the latest codes.

This has all been posted before, but it bears repeating from time to time.

Mike, that is what I meant when I said "Lastly, you can also check the last codeset in any manufacturers list as well as they are the most up to date released."

It's worth rewording in the manner in which you did though. I know it has been posted, but I keep seeing people post here with the same questions regarding to these issues so I thought it might be a good idea to post it up from time to time.

Sorry, I missed that in your original post. That's what I get for reading too quickly. ;-)
