My 500 is acting up, how can I do a reset?
I remembered seeing this somewhere a long time ago and finally re-found it - on Surf Remote's site. Dunno if it works as i've never tried it on any of my MX-500s . . . . .
2. How do I clear out a device?
Sometimes the MX-500 has underlying codes from the factory that can interfere with learning or macros. In his initial review, Daniel Tonks of Remote Central discovered the now famous AUX 155 code. This is a pre-programmed code that, when applied to a device, clears out almost all of the pre-programmed commands on that device, leaving only a weak signal on the "1" and "2" buttons, which are easily overwritten. To use the AUX 155 code, go into programming mode, choose P-PRO, then the device you wish to clear (e.g. for the DVD player push the DVD button). Then push the AUX button as the device the code will be taken from. Enter 155 then push the SAVE button on the LCD.
