Hi there, new to all this so be gentle with me !
I have recently purchased an RU950 and am after the Hexidecimal IR Codes or the the CODESETS for the following Sony products: (Remote control models in brackets)
KLV-L32M1 (RMY1102)
DVP-NS585P (RMD165P)
STR-DB790 (RMPP412)
TC-WE475 (RMJ920)
VTX-D800U (RMX800)
I have tried Sony Technical, but no help whatsoeva !
Please someone help me !!

The best source for Sony IR data is [Link: hifi-remote.com]

That data does not have model numbers, neither for the device nor for the remote. It is organised by device type and by the device numbers encoded in the signals (which you could find by decoding some sample learned signals).

Model number isn't usually relevent in looking for Sony IR data because they have so many models almost all using the same code sets.

These devices are likely (more than likely) supported using the code database built into the Pronto RU950. I believe the Pronto database is licenced from UEI and appears to be more than just a minimal set.

Just select device type, choose the Sony brand, and then pick the first available code set. Try it on your product. If it works, you're good. If it doesn't, go to the next code set for that device type (some type/brand combinations have 5 or more sets).

I found the built in database useless for my Sony equipment

Why not just teach the pronto the codes? This is more desirable than the built in database.

jcl, i have already been warned not to 'teach' the remote from the originals, as they have extra 'crap' at the end of the code. I am after the 'clean' remote codes or the codesets that the units work under.
richardstrudwick, where did u get your codes from then ?
Cheers TwistedMelon & johnsfine, ill have a play !

If you do have to resort to teaching, you can still get completely clean codes. It's going to be more work, but do the following...

Teach each command on to a dedicated and hidden panel. For each learn, copy the IR (select View IR first) and then paste it into the JP1 version of IRTool (available on the Yahoo JP1 group, not in RC's file section).

IRTool will use John Fine's DecodeIR and tell you the specific Protocol, Device # and Function #. Next use John's Makehex to generate new codes. You do this by editing the IRP file for the protocol you decoded in the first step. Modify the file to include the device code you want and then you can produce a batch of codes or single codes just by changing the range of function numbers at the top of the IRP.

Take the resulting Pronto Hex and paste pack into the buttons on your Pronto panel.

Craig, just because you get codes from the Files area here does not mean that they are clean. These were all learnt by forum members and many are quite dirty.

If you want clean codes, the best way is to learn them yourself, and look at what you have learnt. The dirty codes are usually very obvious.

I don't know who gave you that warning, but I'll bet that 9 out of 10 of the experts on this forum will advise you to learn the codes from the OEM remotes first, then fix the ones that prove to be problematic. I have about 200 codes in my setup and had to look for better ones in maybe 5 cases. Learning is fast, efficient and works most of the time.

Generally OEM remotes don't transmit extra "crap" - it's poor learning that records or transposes "crap" for one reason or other (sunlight, poor aiming, other environmental factors, (bad) interpretation of the raw learned sequence, no interpretation (using a super-long or super-short raw sequence), etc...)

I can verify the Pronto TSU1000 does an excellent job at parsing a raw sequence. And I've been told (and can see through the number of posts in this forum) that NG Prontos (all of them) are simply terrible at this.

I've had virtually no problems learning codes - and I do this for a living. Samsung has been the only problematic brands I have dealt with and even they can be learned. Sony is usually among the easiest.

Ok thanks people.
Cheers for all the help !
Better get programming !!!
Craig.

Now that Philips shows the hex code without requiring opening another window (and in a much smaller font that shows more at once), it's very easy to see if you have a clean or dirty code, ESPECIALLY for Sony equipment.

100% of the codes in my setup are learned (and are at least clean if not perfect) - and at this point that covers Sony, Philips, Hitachi, Samsung, Scientific Atlanta, Aiwa, Fisher, Denon and JVC.

How can i tell if they are clean or not ?

Just look at the codes. It becomes quite obvious when they are all dissimilar.
