Post #7 asked for some files ,, I would like the files as well. How do you get the files for the MX-950? ccf or mxd files would be great...i too have an Impact Acc. 3X1 component and haveing a discrete code for that device would be great...
this is an old thread but the device is stil sold..

I have file for an MX-900.
I had to learn the codes from a Harmony.
There is a great need for a Sarcasm font!

I know someone said "set 1 worked" but I have a TSU7000 and used just about every set of codes on this thread, plus some others, and still can't get the pronto to talk to the 3-play, not even intermittently.

I emailed impact acoustics support and they sent basically the same info they sent to nofear13x, with a couple lines added...

CTG P/N 40324 Hex Code (CAS-31RH)
Frequency : 38KHz
Wavelength : 940nm
CUSTOM CODE : 866B
Power : 0x1EE1
CH1 : 0x02FD
CH2 : 0x06F9
CH3 : 0x08F7

They seem to be insisting 38K, but I've used makehex to gen codes with 134.107 and 38000 and loaded the pronto successfully, but the 3-play just sits there mocking me with it's evil green unblinking eyes.

I don't mind genning more hex files at different freqs, but I'm not a tech guy so I don't have any idea which ones I should even try. Earlier 1900 and 4860 were suggested, but I have no idea where those numbers came from, and I'm not going to gen 37,000 codesets. Any possibility I could get some additional freq suggestions?

I also tried learning, but the pronto wouldn't learn the little remote regardless of whether I learned through the NG editing software or used the pronto's built-in learning menu. It learned 7 other components pretty easily.

Anyway, thanks ahead of time, I truly appreciate the help. This is the last device I have to finish and then I'm done, so I'm eager to hopefully (fingers crossed) find something that works so I don't have to velcro that dumb little remote to the back of my pronto.

Frequency : 38KHz

After rereading this entire thread, I'm convinced you should believe them. 38KHz is correct.

Wavelength : 940nm

That refers to a physical characteristic of the IR emitter in the remote, not to something you can change by programming. I have no idea what that value is for any of the remotes discussed in this thread.

If that value is wrong by a moderate amount, that reduces the maximum distance at which the remote works, but doesn't make it fail entirely. If that value is wrong by a lot, the remote would fail entirely. I don't think that values varies enough between different IR remote control systems to really matter. But I'm not sure.

CUSTOM CODE : 866B

That is the 134.107 discussed many times in this thread.

Power : 0x1EE1
CH1 : 0x02FD
CH2 : 0x06F9
CH3 : 0x08F7

In MakeHex function numbering that is
power = 30
CH1 = 2
CH2 = 6
CH3 = 8

I've used makehex to
gen codes with 134.107 and 38000 and loaded the pronto
successfully, but the 3-play just sits there mocking me
with it's evil green unblinking eyes.

I assume you used the NEC1.irp file, and changed just device (maybe frequency).

I can't think of a reason that it wouldn't have worked.

Wow, I can't believe this thread is still active this recently...

It's been a while, but JohnFine turned me on to a rediculous hunt through the history of IR and remote controls in general, but the end result was I found out the three codes I needed were the same codes as a Stargate cable box which are already in the URC database. The codes were buttons 2, 6, and 8 on the cable remote's codes. I don't believe I found an equivalent for Power, but I didn't plan on using that anyway.

Conveniently enough, there are 4 codesets for Stargate in the URC database now, so I don't know which set it is, but that should be easy for any of you guys to test out. You may even find equivalent codesets in the pronto database or other universal remote software. I also know that for common button-programmed universal remotes, its the CBL/0770 codeset. Again, its the buttons 2, 6 and 8 for the 3 inputs, and I don't remember finding a power button. I think power was an entirely different codeset.

Ironically, I just chucked my last switcher into a trash can today because I got paint on it, and I have no will to get it out even though it's on top of everything else. I hate these switchers...

Would someone mind sharing the codes for the Impact Acoustics 3-Play?

I too am having trouble learning the codes, and I can't seem to figure out which posted codes are right.

Thanks!
Brett

Post #10 of this thread lists the 4 codes which are NEC1 IR protocol 134.107.  The Pronto Hex is also given there.
This is the best info we have.
