Hi,

I've just learned the codes from a Kiss DVD remote and my RU940 interprets the learned codes as RC5 codes (device 25). They seem to work however I find myself pressing several of the buttons multiple times before the DVD accepts them. Could it be that the pronto has misinterpreted part of the learned code or is it common that RC5 has to be repeated more than once to be recognized?

This almost sounds like a reverse toggle-bit problem: the device doesn't know what to do with the different versions.

Try learning a "dirty" code - one that isn't recognized as an RC5 code.

First, compare the DVD reaction to original remote - if you need to hit its buttons several times too, then it looks like a trouble in channel or in DVD itself.

If original remote controls device perfectly, the chance is that the codes are really non-RC5 and only looks like. Try to learn them from shortly presses - the learned codes must looks like 0000 00** 00** 0000 ... - and try them. If it will work better, I'll help you to "brush" them.

If this will not help, post these 0000-codes here.

Here's the learned code for the stop button (short press). If I press the button longer Prontoedit identifies this as device 25 command 54. The button mapping in RC5 fit nicely with the standard i.e. play=53 0-9=0-9 etc. The IR-tool cannot identify the below code.

0000 0073 001e 0000 0020 0021 0040 0041 0020 0020 0040 0020 0020 0041 0020 0020 0020 0020 0040 0041 0020 0020 0040 0cb7 0020 0020 0040 0041 0020 0020 0040 0020 0020 0041 0020 0020 0020 0020 0040 0041 0020 0020 0040 0cb6 0020 0020 0040 0041 0020 0020 0040 0020 0020 0041 0020 0020 0020 0020 0040 0041 0020 0020 0040 0021

Try these codes:

0000 0073 0000 000a 0020 0020 0040 0040 0020 0020 0040 0020 0020 0040 0020 0020 0020 0020 0040 0040 0020 0020 0040 0ce0

0000 0073 0000 000b 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0040 0020 0020 0040 0020 0020 0020 0020 0040 0040 0020 0020 0040 0ce0

If both works as "Stop" (at least sometimes), then your device is RC5 and your trouble is not in codes.

If only first is work (always) and second silent a all, then the engineers are scoundrels and you need to excel in obtaining (cleanup-ing) the codes...

Scoundrels they are! The first one works every time. The second none never. I guess I can use the first one as a template for the other codes needed, or maybe use prontoutil. If you can recommend the fastest approach to generate the good codes I'd be happy as a peach.

Thanks for your help

I think, the faster way is to scratch out codes from "durty" ones. The procedure is

1. Learn code from short pressing:
0000 0073 001e 0000 0020 0021 0040 0041 0020 0020 0040 0020 0020 0041 0020 0020 0020 0020 0040 0041 0020 0020 0040 0cb7 0020 0020 0040 0041 0020 0020 0040 0020 0020 0041 0020 0020 0020 0020 0040 0041 0020 0020 0040 0cb6 0020 0020 0040 0041 0020 0020 0040 0020 0020 0041 0020 0020 0020 0020 0040 0041 0020 0020 0040 0021

2. Locate first big number (0***) at code and cut the rest:
0000 0073 001e 0000 0020 0021 0040 0041 0020 0020 0040 0020 0020 0041 0020 0020 0020 0020 0040 0041 0020 0020 0040 0cb7

3. Count the number of "burst pairs". At this sample they are 0020 0021 0040 0041 0020 0020 0040 0020 0020 0041 0020 0020 0020 0020 0040 0041 0020 0020 0040 0cb7 - the 0Ah "pairs" of words

4. set to 0000 a length of "once" code (3-rd word) and set to caunted number a "repeat" sequence (4-th word)to be:
0000 0073 0000 000a 0020 0021 0040 0041 0020 0020 0040 0020 0020 0041 0020 0020 0020 0020 0040 0041 0020 0020 0040 0cb7

Or, you may re-generate the codes via tool by M.Majoor from [Link: home.hccnet.nl]
