Does anyone have any experience with device codes for Sony CD changers?

I have two Sony CDP-CX300 CD changers. On my old Sony receiver remote, I could program the CD function to control one player and the AUX function to control another. Code 001 controlled command mode 1 and 003 controlled command mode 3 (the Sony changers have switches on the back of the unit and on the remotes to set the command mode).

The only control code in the manual that works on my new URC remote is 0000, but that only controls the first player.

For now, I set AUX to a different code (that doesn't work), and I programmed the AUX function to learn the essential commands from the old Sony remote. This works OK, but it'd be nice it there were different codes for the different command modes, so I could free up some memory on the remote that I'm using for learning the commands for the 2nd player.

Thanks in advance for any help!

There are three IR-positions for Sony CD-changers and for that reason there are also three setupcodes:

CD 0000 (default IR position)
CD 0604
CD 0605

However, because > 99,9% of all customers never use the alternative IR commandpositions, universal remotes doesn't have CD codes 0604 & 0605 in their ROM memory. But you can contact OFA customer support in order to upgrade these codes into your URC-8910.

Mr_E,

Thanks for your reply -- it was very helpful.

Actually, CD/0604 and 0605 came pre-installed in most of the older OFA and RS remotes. Specifically, they can be found in: 15-1994, 15-1995, URC-7800, URC-8090, URC-9800

Thanks for this information Rob, I didn't know that.

I'm affraid my remote control knowledge is a bit limited to the models who where sold at this site of the Atlantic.

I'll send you something that you might find helpful.
