The majority of setup codes that start with 1*** don't accept advanced codes. Pioneer RCVR code 1023 certainly doesn't. I advised you about. you need a remote with AMP0013 installed.

I'm a bit confused. I just bought an MX-500 and IR-Clone. Do I *also* need a cheap remote to get discrete codes, or can IR-Clone do this for me?

The current version of the ir-clone software does not have the ability to program discretes readily available. I say "readily" because you can actually do it with the current version, but it invloves interpreting at the bit level, understanding the ir protocols, calculating CRCs, etc.

That being said, a future version (next???) of the irclone software will have the ability to import pronto codes, thus allowing access to the extensive pronto discrete files.

Also if another user w/ irclone has the discretes you are looking for, you can get the m5 file from that user and copy the needed buttons over to your setup.

Am I the only one who's confused about getting discretes into the MX-500 with via a Radio Shack 4 in One (15-2114)? I'm stuck at square one, entering them into the 4 in 1.

Entered the device code for my Panasonic VCR in the 4-in-1. The VCR will respond (power, etc), so the device code is correct. Now for the discretes (I'm trying them all, so start at 001) with the VCR power on:

1. Press VCR decive
2. Push Set up button (one red blink)
3. Enter first digit (0) (shows up on TV screen)
4. Ditto for second digit (0)
5. Enter third digit (1) and hold

The channel changes to 1. The remote seems to xmit each number rather than wait and send the whole command. Does this remote not support this function?

Thanks in advance.

The RS 15-2114 doesn't accept advanced codes, the current RS remotes that accept advanced codes are; 2116, 2117, 2133,and older ones that are still available, 2102, 2103, 2104.
