How do I program the hard buttons to perform a jump to the next or previous page within the device currently selected? I have tried setting the special action to "Browse Forward" (or Browse Reverse) but this does not seam to work...Am I doing something wrong?

Isn't that what the side buttons are for?

The backward and forward apply only to the page you were previously on regardless of device...like the back button on your web browser. The only way to do it is manually, there is no automated command. Basically, if you are on "Cable -1" and wanted to make a NEXT button, you would have to simply enter the action "Jump to Cable - 2". Then on the Cable 2 page you would create a back button with the action "jump to cable 1" and a next button with the action "jump to cable 3". You'd have to do that for every page in every device. I did it when I had my channel logo pages so that I could scroll through all of my channels. It is a pain but it is the only way I know to do it.

Yep...I figured that out just a couple of minutes after posting this question. I gues I should have RTFM better :). Thanks for the help.

tkrug,
Since you appear to be very knowlegable about this remote, can you tell me if there is a way to guess at discrete codes if you know others used by the device?

My problem is this, I have an AKAI plasma model #PDP5016H. I was unable to find any codes that would operate it so I simply "learned" the codes I needed. The orignal remote however has a toggle for on/off and select the input source from a list. I need discrete codes for both the on/off and the various input souces. So the question is, is there any way (knowing the codes that I have learned) to make an educated guess at the discrete codes I need. In other words are the codes for a particular device generally all within some range of numbers and therefore I could simply determine which ones are left out after learning all on the remote and try those.

Not that I know of. The best bet is to try to find codes for another Akai Plasma model as they will be the same (likely). Next option is to look in the Pronto (and pronto pro) files to see if there is an Akai plasma codeset. If so, you can use pronto edit to get the hex format codes and use neohacker to insert the codes into Neo (they use a different format). Finally, you can buy a cheap OneForAll or Radioshack remote. These have "advance" codes that you can program for pretty much everything. You can then use the OFA remote to teach codes to your Neo. That is what I ended up doing years ago.
