I just got the harmony one today and after many hours setting it up all is good but one annoying thing:

I can't get a custom "additional button" mapped to the dolby button of an older Pioner VSX AV Receiver. The default database list of functions include THX and ProLogic, but no "dolby.

The dolby button on the receiver is the dolcy icon -- it has no "dolby" name. I thought it would be "ProLogic" but that button doesn't work at least when I go through the "devices" section. Have not tried assigning that function directly in "Additional Buttons"

This receiver has a "green shift" mode, where you press a green "receiver" button to shift the number keys to other functions, including dolby. The list of default functions for the Harmony also includes a "green shift" function, so I supposed it would be a sequence, but that didn't seem to work either.

Nor did "learning" the dolby button seem to work -- I suspect it has to do with "shift" problems. What I did was point the original remote away from the harmony to "shift" then press the dolby button while pointed into the harmony. It accepts it, but it doesn't work.

Anyway --- I'm stuck. Advice appreciated.

Did you try learning the command in Raw mode? in the learning area, if you click on Custom at the bottom of the page it brings up an addition learning area "Raw". This learns the actual command from the original remote rather that an "Analyzed" command comparing it to the database.

Thanks a lot. It turns out i talked to customer support and that is what they recommended too. They also found this button was the same as the database button "Standard". They said they were going to update their database to include a "Dolby" command that would be the same as "Standard" in case anyone needs it later.

Cheers.
