Hello,

I am very new to this so I have a basic question. I was given a projector (ASK Proxima C170) but it didn't have a remote. I have a programmable remote (Gyration 4101) and it has the ability to learn IR commands.

Now for my question... Is there a way to broadcast the IR commands to the remote so it can learn them? I did some searching on this site and I found Guy's IR utility ([Link: remotecentral.com]) that seems like it would work but when I ran the program nothing happened.

I have an USB IR receiver for another remote so I was wondering it that could somehow broadcast the correct IR command for my remote to learn.

If that wouldn't work does anyone have another idea that might work?

Thanks in advance!

The ASK Proxima C170 projector uses the same codes as Infocus projectors. I had a look in your Gyration 4101 manual but it does not have Proxima or Infocus codes.

If you PM Remote Central Member 3FG and give him these codes. I'm sure he will recommend a cheap remote that you can buy and program it with these codes and then you can learn to your remote.


Cheers
Jason

Thank you VERY much. I really appreciate it!!

Sorry for the delay in replying. Most universal remotes don't support the Infocus or ASK projectors. Some OneForAll remotes do, but are no longer in production. Here's a list.  Perhaps you can find these used. Use setup code TV 1164.

URC-7555
URC-7556
URC-7940
URC-7950
URC-8350
URC-8203 (using setup code TV 0781)
URC-8305
URC-8308
URC-9040

Many functions defined by ASK aren't supported by the remotes as supplied from the factory. So you'll need to assign 5 digit EFCs to buttons.

First assign setup code 1164:
1) Tap TV
2) Press Setup (or Magic or Set) until the remote blinks twice.
3) Enter 1164

Nex, assign an EFC. For example to assign Overscan to Ch+, look in the table below and find that the corresponding EFC is 00152.
1) Tap TV
2) Press Setup (or Magic or Set) until the remote blinks twice.
3) Enter 994 (the remote should blink twice)
4) Tap Setup
5) Enter 00152
6) Tap Ch+
The remote should blink twice.

Now pressing Ch+ should cause the projector to perfoem the Overscan function.
