Help please!

I need the IR code for Xbox 360 so I can set up a DVD kids game (Bubble system) which interacts with the DVD system using the IR sensor. Unfortunately the instructions only have the old xbox code (0522) and I'm pretty sure the xbox 360 is different.

Can anyone help so I can get a 3 year old's christmas present setup! (I know santa should do it when he arrives but just incase.........)

Cheers

DVD/0522 is the setup code for the old xbox for a OneForAll brand universal remote.

So my guess is you have either a OneForAll remote or some other IR transmitter that uses a chip made or licensed by the company behind OneForAll brand.

So far as I know, they don't have built-in setup codes for the MCE protocol used by the XBOX 360. Many oneForAll remotes are upgradable (by JP1 cable or .wav file or return to OFA customer support) and the info for a JP1 or .wav file upgrade is available in many places at remotecentral and hifi-remote.com

If you as a more detailed question, I might be able to give a more useful, less generic, answer.

Some more detail.

The system I'm trying to connect to the xbox 360 is called a Bubble by 'Bright things'. This is an interactive DVD game for kids which uses a remote console to guide the DVD game using the IR sensor of the DVD system (in this case a Xbox 360).

To set up the Bubble you have to enter the code of the DVD system you are using so the console can transmit to the DVD player. The Bubble comes with a list of DVD makers and 4-digit codes, but for Microsoft only has the original Xbox listed (code 0522) which doesn't work. I was hoping someone out there knows the 4-digit code that will allow the Bubble console to mimic a Xbox 360 remote.

Hope that helps (and fingers crossed someones knows!)

Bubble has its list of codes online at

You will notice that they list xbox and don't list xbox 360. I think you can assume they're not total idiots, so if they had an xbox 360 code they would have listed it. (XBOX 360 is definitely different IR signals from XBOX). They also don't list Microsoft Media Center, which I believe was available before the XBOX 360 and used IR signals that work on the 360.

It says there that they have an "update cartridge" for codes that aren't on that list and they tell you to contact their customer support.

Thanks for your help, I'll try the update cartridge.

Although it is not listed on their site isn't there a 4-digit code for the XBOX 360?

I'm a bit surprised that question isn't asked and answered more often in the OneForAll forum. The only answer I could find was in this thread:

It says the setup code number is 1708. I don't know whether that is accurate, but in any case it seems that the XBOX 360 code is not included in the Bubble, so you would need help from Bubble customer support. They would know what setup code must be added by upgrade cartridge, so even if 1708 is correct, knowing that won't help you much.

1016 worked for me using the remote for my Yamaha RX-A2000 receiver.

I realize this is an old thread, but it was such a pain to get this working that I felt I should share my solution. After all my searching on the web, I looked for the word Microsoft in the Yamaha user manual pdf. The code is listed for a Microsoft "VCR" hahahaaahaaa
