I am a pronto 2000 user. Are there discrete IR's available for each slot in the 200 DVD changer from Sony? Any help is greatly appreciated.

The answer is more than likely no. I only know of discrete codes for Discs 1-5.

Lyndel,

You could give him datablast codes for disc access couldn't you.

Cheers,
Bruce.

I have a Sony 850D (200-disks), 860D (300-disks), and a Pioneer F727 (300) disk that I control with my Pronto.
I have not found any discrete codes but there are specific sequences that allow you to select a particular slot.

I would be happy to share my CCF if you are interested. I have an indexed alphabetical list of all of my DVDs that allows me to select any movie by name.

Otherwise, the sequence that I use is ON, STOP, WAIT=7sec, STOP, WAIT=0.5, STOP, DISPLAY, DISPLAY, CUR-RIGHT, #, #. #, ENTER, DISPLAY, DISPLAY. Where #, #, # is the disk number (you don’t need to enter leading zeros). I actually put WAIT=0.2 between each code just to be safe.

This seems to work regardless of what state the player is in (on, off, playing, paused, setup, …).
This sequence works for both the 850D and the 860D. There is a different sequence for the F727.

I like the Sony much better than the Pioneer, I just wish that I could daisy-chain them like Pioneer allows.

Bill…

I would like a copy of your CCF for this configuration if you would e-mail it to me. Thank you;

Could I get a copy of your CF file. I have been thinking of dumping my 860 due to not being able to load a slot number and play but having to use disk explorer.

Thanks
