I have a new receiver that I have not been able to find discrete codes for. I have an older OFA Cinema 7 but can't find a device code that will work for this unit so obviously I can't try and of the usual power codes. I have a pronto at my disposal so I can try that if someone can point me in the correct direction. I have never had such a hard time finding codes for anything.

Thanks in advance.

1) Learn a few signals from the original remote into your Pronto.

2) Use DecodeIr with either DecodeCCF or IrTool to decode those signals.

3) Look up those decodes in the web site of Sony IR codes at

4) Use MakeHex with either IrPanels or Hex2CCF to produce the full set of 128 possible signals for any Sony protocol and device number you get from step 2 (or which step 3 tells you is related to the ones you got in step 2).

5) Find signals that you want, that aren't on your original remote, in the tables found in step 3. Test them with the CCF files produced in step 4. Maybe test all 128 buttons of each CCF produced in step 4.

6) Ask in more detail if you have a problem with any of those steps. Report results back here, so others who search this forum for the DA3300ES will benefit from your efforts. If you find function that aren't included in the tables found in step 3 (by decoding in step 2 or by testing all 128 functions in step 5) please email them to the maintainer of that site ( [Link: hifi-remote.com] ).

I will try that once I get the Pronto. For the last 10 years or so, i have been able to use mu OFA 7800, but I guess in the ES line things are different. Any suggestions what device code to try first. I have been to hi-fi many times trying to decipher his page. I have seen a suggestion to use device 151 on this site, but that does not comport to the hi-fi page.

Thanks for the quick responce

You mean setup code in the URC-7800? Or what do you mean?

That web page says the two receiver code sets use Sony device numbers 16 and 48. Sony device 16 is in OneForAll setup code Tuner/0158, which is in your URC-7800 and I assume you already tried it and it didn't work.

There is no OneForAll setup code giving the Sony device 48 version of that. Some of the setup codes for more complicated Sony Combos can produce those device 48 signals in newer OneForAll remotes. But without a JP1 cable, you URC-7800 can't generate those device 48 signals.

I have no guess what you mean by "device 151". That doesn't make sense either as a Sony device number or as an OFA setup code number.

I will decipher my ramblings.

Yes I was talking about the URC-7800. None of the device codes I have found for it, including searching has any effect on the Sony receiver. I was thinking about getting a new OFA that will have newer IR codes, but since I have a Pronto at my disposal, why spend the money.

What I meant about device 151 was the device= in the .irp file for creating a .hex. I saw a reply to another question about an older ES receiver in the forum that had a hex file with device code 151 and function 46 and 47 (for discrete on/off)

I was going to tackle the JP1 cable, but it doesn't seem to be worth the time. I will try with the pronto and report back in a few days.
