Does any body know if there are descrete power codes for an HP EN5000 Digital Media Receiver? Before you laugh and ask why I would be using such an old device, I picked it up for 20 bucks. It's not nearly as slick as a MCPC or an Escient, but hey, it was 20 bucks. I could live with leaving it on all the time, but I like to have my macros as bullet proof as possible. If it matters, I'm using an MX-900. Thanx in advance.

Here's a long shot answer ;). It may or may not work, but it will give you something to try if you want.

The remote looks the same as the EW5000 model, and according to this JP1 remote upgrade file, it uses NEC1 protocol with device number 129 and subdevice number 245. You can use that info to generate all 256 different ir codes using Makehex and try all the codes to see if any of them are discrete codes. Before you try that though, be warned that most likely the device won't have them and you'd spend a lot of time trying all the codes without discovering anything new, and some devices have codes that might reset the device or take you to some service mode that you can't get out of.

Since you have to have either Keymap Master or Remotemaster to read the upgrade file, below are the list of functions and function number listed in the file, so you don't have to go through installing either of those programs. You can use those to test known functions to see if EN5000 actually uses the same protocol, and then skip over those function codes if it does.

Arrow-down = 0
Arrow-up = 1
Select = 2
Arrow-right = 3
Arrow-left = 4
Shuffle/Repeat = 8
Print = 9
Search = 10
Home = 11
Options = 12
Control = 13
Play = 16
Power = 17
FFwd = 18
Next = 19
Stop = 20
Display = 21
Page-down = 24
Rewind = 25
Page-up = 27
Previous = 28
Pause = 29

Kupakai,

I appreciate you going to all the trouble of doing that research, but it seems like a lot of work to find 2 descrete codes (which may not even be there). I think I'll just leave the device on all the time. I was thinking I might just plug it into the cable box which I never turn off, and be done with it. Thank you for the response and have a good (and safe) new years.

Mark
