I have an RCA RT2400R reciever that I'm running with a ofa 6011. It seems to work fine with setup code 1254 except that it won't select the SAT or DVD inputs (the power off doesn't work either but thats not a big deal to me). The other inputs (VCR1, VCR2, TV, AM, FM) are accessible with the number keys (some are duplicated). What I would like to do is program the SAT and DVD inputs to work on the duplicated keys but have been unable to figure out the advanced codes that I need. I'm starting to think that this RCA is not easy to do advanced codes for (maybe uses a multiple byte string?). Anyone out there have any hints???

For SAT, use setup code SAT/392 - synth 483
For DVD, use setup code DVD/522 - synth 483

If these work, you can use keymover to put them into an unused digit key in RCVR mode.

I guess I'm not understanding. My SAT is a GI unit and my DVD a sony. The codes you gave were both RCA codes. My 6011 controls the the SAT and DVD fine - I just want the RCA A/V receiver to switch inputs to those devices. (By the way does synth refer to advance code?)

Thanks

Those codes are for your RCA receiver. The RCA receiver does discrete input selection when it sees a specific command for a different RCA device. In those examples, your RCA receiver sees EFC 483 for an RCA SAT or an RCA DVD and does input selection for its SAT or DVD inputs.

"syth" is the name for EFC (advanced) codes on some other models of UEI remotes.

You can temporarily set some device key to be SAT/0392 and test Set 4 8 3, and if it works use the 994 command to key move it to a key in your receiver. Once that key move is done, it doesn't matter that you change the device button that had SAT back to whatever you usually use it for. The key move remains unchanged even when the device key it was based on gets changed.

(Same for DVD 0522).

For some reason keymover won't let me assign the new key to any of the duplicated number keys in the rcvr/amp section. Any clues as to why???????

BTW - I attached the new 483 code to the 'move' button in the PIP section in both the SAT and DVD modes. That causes the reciever to change to the appropriate input. I just can't move it to any of the unused number keys in the rcvr/amp mode.

You can't map a advanced code to a button, then keymove it to another device. Try this for the SAT command;

1. tap SAT
2. press and hold SETUP, for two blinks
3. press 9-9-4
4. tap SETUP for one blink
5. enter 483
6. tap AMP
7. tap the desired key, the light should blink twice.

Now do the same for DVD command.

Thanks, that worked great. Appreciate all the help.

BTW - Is there anyplace that lists all the 99X commands and the various ways in which they can be used?

Rob posted improved versions of some of the manuals at
[Link: hifi-remote.com]

He was working mainly with the 15-1994, so he seems to have done the best job with that manual.

Most of the commands are the same between the 15-1994 and most other models, so Rob's improved 15-1994 manual is better documentation for your 6011 than the official 6011 manual is. However, the 15-1994 douesn't have home theater, so you can't get details on the HT commands there.

All righty, folks, new question. I have the exact same problem, except with an RCA 5225 receiver and a 6131 OFA. Any suggestions, or am I stuck going through OFA to get it changed?

Since posting originally, I've gotten the 6131 to accept my DVD player with the 392 code (perhaps they were backwards?), but no dice with the other code.

The other problem I have is that my receiver won't turn off. It's in OFA's FAQ as a "contact us" issue. Anybody know the solution to that one?

If you're missing the sat input to the RCA receiver, you first need to program the CBL/SAT device with code 0392 and AUD with 1254. Then follow these steps;

1. Tap CBL/SAT
2. press and hold SET, for two blinks
3. press 9-9-4
4. tap SET for one blink
5. enter 483
6. tap AUD
7. tap desired key

To turn off the receiver, give this a try;

1. SAT
2. tap SET, for two blinks
3. 9-9-4
4. tap SET for one blink
5. enter 219
6. AUD
7. pick a key

If you want to replace the discrete ON, with a power toggle, subsitute 099 in step #5, then hit power button in step #7.
