Has anyone found discrete ON/OFF IR codes for a Zenith DVD player? The one I'm working with is a model DVB312.

Thanks.

Does Zenith make DVDs or just rebrand them? If you know what other brand(s) use the same signals that should help in finding whether there are any discrete codes.

The one Zenith DVD here:
[Link: ir.premisesystems.com]
uses NEC1 protocol, device 69, which matches Toshiba DVDs (Toshiba is very consistent about IR signals across models).

The two Zenith DVDs I found in other places use NECx1 protocol, device 45.45 which is used by several other brands (Allegro, Goldstar and LG) including all four of these models

For my Zenith DVD player I use the following key sequences to simulate discrete On and Off:

On = Play + Stop
Off = Play + Stop + PowerToggle

Works like a charm!

Leland, pay attention to Martin!

This is probably THE classic workaround, and it works for some VCRs, too. You may not be able to put PLAY and POWER very close together; some DVDs need several seconds after PLAY turns the unit on before POWER will turn it off. But this is bulletproof.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

I have the codes I learned from the factory remote into a Marantz RC3200 (same as Pronto Neo), but that's all.
