I'm looking for discrete IR commands for the Sony STR-SA5300ES receiver. If there is a list of IR commands ((Proto) hex format would be perfect) that would be great. Power on, power off and the tuner commands (AM/FM/tuneUp/tuneDown) are my immediate needs but I expect to need others.

I'm programming a Nevo Q50 - upgrading from a Harmony 880 - and the 5300 database from Nevo seems to have many errors; little of it works.

thanks!

I had the same problem with a slightly older Sony receiver. Couldn't find discrete codes for the Nevo, but I did discover that the Harmony database had lots of commands for it. This was also true of a Sony plasma I have that isn't made anymore. (The Harmony database had discete picture control commands for that TV that I didn't even know existed!)

So here's my workaround, for the particular situation where your product remote doesn't have many discrete commands but the Harmony database does, and you can't find them anywhere else. Program the device into your Harmony remote, with all the discrete commands you can get from that database, and then learn them with the Nevo. Works like a charm. (Be sure to take the time to test the Harmony commands first so you don't put "empty" commands into your Nevo.)
