Hi,
Even if I do use Prontos and Marantz RC's for a few years and just bought a TSU 9600, I have a question on IR codes.
Is there any kind of advantage using IR equipment codes versus using the teaching/learning on a TSU 9600?
Hopefully someone will answer this(maybe stupid) question.
Thanks.
Peter Z.

No advantage or disadvantage at all.

If your learned codes work reliably use them. I prefer to use the Factory database codes and learn only the ones that are not available.

I'm sure that everyone's experience is unique, but I find quite a number of erroros in the 9x00 database.
I'll use the database when possible, but I'm not shy about relearning a whole device. In these cases I'll change the database owner from Phillips to my own and I'll tighten-up the command names so that I'll have more success at changing target devices with a simple click. Hopefully, future ProntoEdit releases will not update my private modified entries when I'm not looking.
Sometimes a correct or missing code can be found in an older version (3xxx or 7xxx series). Also, don't overlook the device manufacturer's website or owner's manual -- some will include Pronto Hex codes. Unfortunately, these sources can include errors too.
Except for the errors, the database has the potential of being more accurate because the codes can be generated directly from manufacturer's data or learned using specialized equipment and software by someone who is very experienced in the techniques. The high error rate for the 9x00 database is probably the result of a human error while preparing the database port.

I agree.
The 9x00 database needs our feedback though.
I had encountered errors myself but for the purpose of building a solid database, we should test it (subject to everybody's needs & resources) and report bugs.
This is a joint effort, for benefit of the pronto community :)

I generate all my IR data from manufacturers data or by reverse engineering what a remote sends out and then verifying the correctness. The advantage of this approach is obvious in that you get very clean to specification patterns.
