When I am setting ir codes in the tsu3000 - using peng....
how do i know which "codeset" to pick for my device? It doesnt seem realistic that i have to try one...download it to my tsu300....and try it...over and over till i get the right codeset. help please....

The way I did it ... set up a page with a bunch o' buttons. Enter a different code set for each button ... say using only power on. Take notes and see which code set works with the device.

Several code sets may work the same device ... the trick is finding the one that works the most functions.

Worked for me.
Good luck.

Code sets are hard to impement, that is the reason most people suggest you just learn the codes from the ooriginal remote. Or download a ccf/pcf from here that already has the codes.

First use the LEARN function of the remote (in the Tools menu) and TRY each possible code-set to find those which have the basic Power-on/Power-off functionality that you need. (Not much point in TRYing other buttons because most of them don't have IR codes associated with them in the as-shipped remote!)

Now use PENG as follows:
Pick Add IR Code for any old button, pick the Device Type and Brand for what you're interested in. Then momentarily select the code sets that LEARN indicated were candidates. (My experience is that they're in the same order in the drop-down list as they were in the 3000.) See which of the possible candidates have most of the functions your OEM remote has. Create a virtual remote (with all of the buttons from your OEM remote) and try the candidate code-sets to see which gets you closest. You'll still have to teach the 3000 some codes.

The way I handled it was to test each codeset (I did not use the internal code test) for a given device and see if power on/off worked. As I assigned keys I would test to see if the code operated (in advanced mode Add IR->[select code]->Test IR) to see if it worked. If it didn't I would learn the code via PENG.

This proved to be a pretty quick way of getting things done with a minimum of work. BTW, learning through PENG works beautifully. There is no need to learn the code in the remote and then upload the resulting PCF.
