Hi,

I got URC-9660 and wanna to download the code for CableTV (Visionetics) by phone. I tried many times but can't success.
1). since model 8060 is available for Internet upgrade. Is this compatible with URC-9660?
2). Does anyone has the wav.file can email to me?


Thanks a lot.

Is that really 9660 or a typo of 9960?

The .wav files are not compatible across models.

It's very unlikely that anyone reading your post has the 9960 version of the .wav file you want, so asking was ok, but don't plan on getting it.

Did you get the setup code number of the upgrade you were trying to get by phone? I have no data on Visionetics, but I might have something on the setup code.

The JP1 software can be used (without need for a JP1 cable) to produce .wav files if you have information (such as a CCF file) on the IR signals to be produced. But doing so requires more understanding of JP1 than using a JP1 cable requires, so it's rarely used. Some of the JP1 experts can produce a .wav file for one model starting with a .wav file for another model, but that's a fair amount of work, so you should chase other methods first.

Hi Johnsfine,

Sorry! It should be 9960.
The code I prepared to download is 1064 & 1264.
Since I am in Asia region, maybe the quality of international call is not good enough.
So why I look for help...

Thanks.

Sorry, I don't have any data for 1064 nor 1264.

Were you able to get the .wav file for urc-8060 from the internet? I don't have an 8060 (nor a 9960) but I think I can figure out how to convert a .wav file for an 8060 into a .wav file for a 9960. If you email the .wav file to me, I'll attempt it (my email address is in the "view author's profile" link above this message).

You might be better off getting a JP1 cable and the pogo pin adapter (pogo pins are needed to get a good connection of a JP1 cable to a Kameleon model remote). With that you can decode learned signals and build and load your own upgrade. You can decide for yourself which functions ought to go on which keys. You might be able to find and use extra functions that UEI's upgrades don't include.

Hi John,
Thanks for your help.
.wav file can be found from the following website:
[Link: ezremote.com]
By the way, there is code difference between 8060 & 9960
8060: code #1064/1066
9960: code #1064/1264 (informed from service centre)
anything concerned?
By the way, I have emailed the wave file for your reference. Thanks a lot.

The file you emailed had two upgrades, 1064 and 1066 as you said. Both were for the NEC1 protocol, device 134, subdevice 107. They seem to have a completely different association of commands to buttons (they aren't as similar to each other as typical upgrades that share the same device numbers).

I'll do a little more with them shortly and should have a 9960 .wav file pretty soon. I'll need to guess on which buttons are appropriate to which functions, so I expect the first .wav file will be at best mostly right. Then you should tell me which buttons to change.

What sort of Cable tuner is this? Rob was looking for data on "universal" cable tuners (I guess those are ones you can get from third party suppliers rather than cable companies). Is this one of those? The "Apache" CBL/0770 that Rob posted is also Nec1:134.107 and matches the CBL/1064 you emailed in about half of its functions.

(Duplicating, without attached files, the message in the email I just sent):

I changed the .wav file from model 8060 to 9960. In doing so I needed to decide which key on the 9960 to use for each key on the 8060 (the key labels aren't as similar as you might expect). I did that without much thought, because I don't even know how well the 8060 key assignments fit the keys of the actual device. Assuming one of these upgrades works at all, please send back a list of what the function names really are (so I can post a corrected file in the JP1 group) and tell me which functions you want on which keys, so I can send you a better upgrade.

I hope you know the process to get the 9960 ready for an upgrade and then play the .wav through a speaker from the PC. Also, after the upgrade is loaded, that just makes CBL/1064 and CBL/1066 available within your remote. It doesn't select either of them. You must then assign one of the to a device key for testing. Make sure you don't have any KeyMoves or Learned signals already defined for keys within that device key or those will confuse the test (assigning a new setup code to a device key does NOT remove any KeyMoves or Learned signals associated with that device mode).

I attached a list of the 9960 keys defined by these upgrades together with the 8060 key on which I based each 9960 key. That should help guide the testing.

Hi John,

Thanks for your help and I have received your wave file. I will test it tonight and report to me asap.

For URC-9960, upgrade procedure as follow:
1). press and hold "setup"
2). press "other"
3). press "997" (the remote will light off)
4). place the speaker next to the remote (near CH side)
5). if success, the display will light on again after the code transmitted.

Thanks.

Hi John,

I have checked the wave file you sent me. I use with code 1064 & all is match.
There is only "Audio" key in the original remote which I have to learn.

Thanks a lot.
