Hi,

I have purchased an OFA URC-7532 for the purpose of sending discrete codes to my Sony AV2100. I am able to configure the remote to use 2 of the setup codes listed for my TV (GE) in the provided manual. ie to perform standard control (channel select, volume etc). However, I cannot send any discrete codes to the TV. I am not sure whether this is due to the remote not having this functionality (it has a magic button but no setup button) or myself sending the wrong discrete codes.

I cannot find the setup codes (that were provided in the manual) on [Link: hifi-remote.com]. Also, the setup code of 0051 (for GE tvs) listed on the OFA site is not stored in the OFA remote and therefore cannot be used.

My question is can someone tell me if the URC-7532 can send discrete codes? I cannot find the US equivalent on the US OFA web site (including looking in the archived section). The Aust version can be found at [Link: oneforall-int.com] and is called Mainstream One For All 3.

Thanks

Here's the remote;

Yeap! Thats what I was referring to when I said "The Aust version can be found at [Link: oneforall-int.com] and is called Mainstream One For All 3".

What I cant seem to determine is whether this remote can be use to send the discrete codes to a device. eg 227 for ON.

Does it use 9-9-* numbers for programming?

the remote uses 992 to test if a device is locked, 982 to unlock said device, 991 to search for a device, 990 to blink out your device code etc.

So I assume thats a yes.

Magic is your remote's equivalent for "P", "set", or "setup". So to test an advance code you would use: Magic(short press getting 1 *), E-F-C (the three advance code digits. The signal will be sent with that last digit press, so make sure it's pointed at the device. You should also see the remote's led do a single flash with that last digit press, indicating a signal (maybe not the right one you wanted) is being sent.

urbanjak,

What setup codes do work for the GE TV? If someone recognizes them it may tell us the answer to your question. EFC 227=On usually works for the RCA protocol. Thompson owns the GE, RCA and Proscan brands and in the US RCA, Proscan and GE devices often use the RCA protocol but not always.

Thanks for the advice.

OK, Setup code 0287 works fine for the GE TV (as per manual). But this code is not listed on [Link: hifi-remote.com]. But I have managed to determine *some* codes (by guessing). eg. 181 - 1, 183 - 3, 116 - 8, 109 - 7,182 - AV toggle.

Discrete codes for my Sony VCR (0032) work fine.

So if anyone knows the advanced codes for setup code 0287 (GE TV) that would be much appreciated.

I believe TV/0287 uses UEI protocol 0068, which hasn't gotten much attention from the JP1 group. It might not be used at all in the US.

I can tell you that there are only 64 possible commands, but they don't have contiguous EFC numbers. They are scattered 4 times each through the range 000 to 255 (and 4 more times in 256 to 511, etc. but you can ignore those).

For example, you found EFC 181. You may notice that 165, 173, and 189 all do the same thing as 181. There are lists of the 64 EFC numbers that have unique meanings in this type of protocol, but I forget where and it might be just as hard to test 64 from a list as to test 255 without looking at a list.
