I am looking for the codes for my Vizio VHT215 soundbar that will work with my Comcast Remote. The code Vizio gives, 31517, doesn't work. Does anyone have a code that works?

this code worked for me only controls vol up and down

code 32454

What remote did you use? I believe that Comcast remotes (both grey or red Ok/Select versions) don't have a 32454 setup code. Do you have an Atlas 1056B03?

I believe these IR signals are NEC1 device 0, subdevice 0. Vol+ is function number 65, while Vol- is 69.

Comcast users with a red OK/Select button could check to see if these signals work by assigning 20752 to the AUX button. Vol- should make the volume go down, and right arrow should make it go up.  If these signals work, then it is possible to permanently assign the EFC 00169 to Vol+ and 00168 to Vol-, using the 994 Command.  (The 1056B03 doesn't accept 994 commands.)

Users with a gray OK/Select button can use AUX 1915, but no buttons are will control the volume.  Instead, assign the above EFCs to the Volume buttons.

Other functions can be found by methodically checking all EFCs fro 00000 to 00255.  Do that by assigning 20752 to the AUX button, and systematically tapping Setup (don't hold it) and entering in an EFC.  The IR signal will be sent when the last of the 5 digit EFC is tapped.

Thanks, 3FG, for that great reply. I'm trying to follow these steps with the Comcast remote with the red button. I can get the master code 20752 to work and I'm trying, now, to program the power button. Do I understand you correctly that the way to do is to use the 994 Command and try every code from 000 to 255 to see which of them (if any) is the volume command? Is there such thing as a table that tells you the codes for various commands? Or, to put it another way, how did you know that EFC 00169 equated to Vol+-- did you draw this knowledge from a bank/database or did you figure that out by trial and error?

Thanks!

I actually don't remember why I expected if these codes will work with a VHT215. The following are for a VHT510, using RemoteMaster. Let's hope they are good for the 215. I've included the OBC, or function number, so that people who don't have a UEI remote can turn these into Pronto Hex.

Many thanks, 3FG. 165 does not seem to work as the power function on my VHT215. The remote seems to be blinking as it should, so I believe that I'm doing the process right. I'll start trying a brute force entry of all the codes. At the same time, I'll try an internet search to see if I can find the codes that work for the VHT215. Do you have any suggestions for what I could search for? I'm not really sure what the above codes are called? I think that you referred to them as EFCs, but what does this stand for?

Again, thank you.

EFC stands for Extended Function Code. It is only useful for remotes made by UEI, but it is possible to convert between EFC and other ways of describing a IR signal.

A manual search for the correct EFCs is actually pretty quick. First, though, I want to make sure that you're getting some control of the sound bar using 20752. Do you have volume responding now? If not, brute force isn't really practical, because the EFCs only change the function number and we need the correct IR protocol and device/subdevice numbers. Those are a property of the setup code.

The quick way to test EFCs is to simply go through the possibilities from 00000 to 00255. You don't need to assign the EFC using the 994 command. Just tap Setup, and enter the 5 digit EFC. The IR signal will be sent when you enter the 5th digit. Hold the 5th digit to get a repeating signal. Try it first with a known EFC from the list above, like Vol+.

Good question. I believe that I was wrong earlier when I said that 20752 was working as master code (which I think is a layman's way of saying "the IR protocol"). So, you're right, changing the function numbers wouldn't really accomplish anything. The Vizio user's guide says that the universal remote code (for 5-digit remotes) is 31517. However, the Comcast remote doesn't seem to accept this code when I try to assign it to the AUX device (when you assign a device code, two red light blinks mean success; one blink means failure. I always get the one long blink).

Success...

Thank you again for thinking on it with me.

20752 and 11144 are both NEC1 device 0, so either should work. I'm not sure why 20752 didn't work for you.

Regarding 31517, as you say, it isn't a valid setup code for the Comcast remote. However, in spite of what the Vizio documentation says, we don 't expect 31517 (NEC1 device 131.95) to work with either the 510 or 215 sound bars, and that's what the first post in this thread points out. It does work with the VBS200 soundbar.

This code worked for me 32454. I have a new box and the XR-11 voice remote. I followed the on screen directions for the TV and sound bar pairing, and then used this code for my vizio sound bar: 32454. You may have to sync the tv and sound bar power buttons by turning one or both off, as well as the cable box. Use the "all power" button to to everything on. The cable box will not shut off as it is designed that way. You can go into your settings for the cable box and select the power saver mode. I have mine set to the lowest setting which is 1 hour, and then it will sleep, or at least it should...

Hope this helps
