How can i teach my kameleon all the advanced codes for Denon AVR-3802 ? I found the codes from another tread but i dont know how to input them to remote. (Maybe they are there allready just dont know how to activate them ?)

Thank for help !

You input the same way that you would for a 15-1994 for example. (See my site for more info)

oh yes !

Thanks Rob ! Help Appreciated.

Now i know how to code them. Only drawback is that those codes dont work with my denon. My code is 1160 .. the tread had 0160.. My OFA doens´t know that code. = dont accept it.

Is it so that this is quite impossible as said in tread "Cinema7 and 8011" ? .. mean.. without some JP1 stuff..

Its likely that the European version of the Kameleons have different codes in them than the US (RadioShack) versions.

Did you try using 1160 where the other thread says 0160?

1160 is a combo code, which combines the codes from 0160 and 0004. The big drawback of combo codes is hat they don't support advanced codes, so learning is the only option (other than using JP1)

That´s right.. i´ll just have to do it the "hard way"
By the way.. Why they (Denon) have taken these combo codes into use ? what´s the benefit ?

The normal reason they resort to combo codes is to combine two existing setup codes to work one device. This is common for receivers. Basically, a receiver is a preamp/amp with a am/fm tuner added. So by combining the two seperate existing codes, they can access the functions for both parts of the receiver with one "new" setup code. With the rash of dvd/vcr units being released lately you'll likely see this more and more. Same with HT's in a box; except it get's even more complex.
The drawback, besides making advance codes without JP-1 unusable, is you may lose some functions, there's only so many buttons on a remote, or it'd require a remote almost as long as a baseball bat. Thus, more functions go from being discretes to being toggles. The firmware may support the discretes, but the dilemna now, if you can find them is having buttons left to assign them to. In many cases it means choosing other functions you'll have to delete.
One avenue is to use shift-buttons, effectively double-upping buttons. That requires pressing 2 buttons ("shift"=P, magic, set, setup, code search) and the button assigned to unless they are the numeral buttons which requires a double press of the "shift" button. But then if it's a combo code, this is only possible with JP-1. JP-1 allows more flexibility and you may not even want to go these other "kludge" routes since there are other tools available; device multi-plexor, device combiner, and others(depending on remote "family").
