Hi
I was able to solve this problem, with information from my man Fabio (who is looking for help on a separate problem on the Marantz SR-5000 in a recent post).
The deal is that input selection is not covered by any commands in device code 0269. Each input selection is effected by a unique device code, followed by an advanced code. This advanced code is 274 for every device except for DVD. It may work, but if not, use advanced code 443.
The device codes are as follows:
TV 0037
VCR 0081
AUX 0463 (satellite code)
TUNER 0189
AMP 0269
CD 0157
TAPE 0029
DVD 0539
(NB: this is the info that Fabio sent to me, which he received from OFA support. I can only vouch for VCR, DVD, Tuner, and CD -- the only inputs I care about.)
Based on the manuals and FAQ at Rob's site (
[Link: hifi-remote.com]), I'm sure you'll figure out a way to use these codes. If it helps, what I did was to temporarily assign each of these device codes in turn to the the AUX2 button, then copied the advanced code in question from there to an AUX button, like so:
1. Hold down Magic until the light blinks twice.
2. Enter code 994 (the red light will blink twice).
3. Press the device key that you are moving the function from, e.g. AUX2.
4. Press Magic once and let go.
5. Enter 274 (or 443 for DVD only).
6. Press the device key that you are moving the function to, e.g. AUX.
7. Press the key where you would like that function to be, e.g. numeric key 1.
8. The red light should blink twice and that key should now operate.
When I was done, I then assigned AUX2 to device code 0189, which, incidentally, is the tuner device code for the SR-5000. (This has nothing to do with the input buttons, of course.)
Now that I've got input selection working, I can say that the 15-1994 is really the greatest.
If anyone would like further info, including the full text of the message from OFA support, send me an email.
