I have a Bose Lifestyle 38 and MX780, MRF260
The codes I have from URC database work main zone with no problem.
The zone B,C,D codes for volume, power, and inputs work.
When I change inputs using any zone it changes all the zones

Any thoughts on why? Are the codes from the URC database wrong or is their something i'm doing wrong?

Based on exactly what you're saying, it sounds like the input codes are meant to change all inputs at the same time. Maybe someone here has codes that will work right.

If you go to [Link: files.remotecentral.com] and enter Lifestyle 38 in the Search box, nine files will be found. Now, none of these are exactly what you want; most are files for some kind of Pronto. This will lead you to investigate how to use the Pronto programming files on this site to look at the commands, or to work out how to use the URC Universal Browser to copy commands from other remotes' files. This is not the simplest thing in the world, but it looks like maybe the info is there.

I did try the files section before posting. since they are all Pronto files, I was unable to open the files after downloading. I no longer have any Pronto programs/editors on my laptop.

from my memory, the bose has two zones of audio.  if you change a source on the 2nd zone, any zone listening to the 2nd zone will change as well.  it isn't going to be a discrete source for each zone.

ProntoEdit4 was still here last time I looked. Still comes in handy for handling hex, cut n paste stuff.

Nothing in your original post revealed anything about the level of your experience, such as "I haven't had ProntoProEdit on my computer for seven years," so I gave a general response.


But you might not have the software, so I referred to


Good! If you had stated that at the outset, I would have written the following last night: You've used these before. So, out of curiosity, I looked more thoroughly in the files section. The following models came up in the files search, and the software I mention is also in the files section:

Philips Pronto NG TSU3000, which uses Philips ProntoEdit NG v3.1.3

Marantz RC9200, which uses Marantz Touch Screen Setup v2.0.4

Philips Pronto Professional TSU9400 and TSU9600, which uses ProntoEdit Professional v2.4.23

This about the Nevos might not be of any help, just as the MX-700 file might not be of any help, but as regards the files for the UEI NevoQ50:

There is another nice piece of software (not free) that is very useful for analysis of IR signals. It also interfaces with various open-source hardware designs for capturing IR signals. The software is called AnalysIR.

NOTE: I'm not connected with AnalysIR, just a really satisfied customer.

I've used the software + a LearnIR dongle to capture & decode signals (including cleaning up the carrier frequency), which I then sent to Logitech for programming my Harmony remotes.

The software also has great code-generation for various controllers, and the stuff I've learned from his blog...
