Atlas OCAP 1056 remote - Programming for Power On and Power Off when no Power Toggle is available

I am using an Atlas OCAP 1056 remote and a Harmony SST-659 to control my audio-video components. My Yamaha HTR-5760 AV receiver has sepate power on and off controls and no power toggle. I programmed the Harmony by learning from the original Yamaha remote which is now broken. But the Atlas will only find the Power Off code using the manufacturer's search mode procedure. I have found Yamaha NEC codes that may work if I can determine how to input them into the Atlas remote. The on/off NEC hex codes that may work are:
ON - 7E-7E (7E-7E80)
OFF - 7E-7F (7E-7F81)

So here are my questions:

1. Is there a way to determine the integer values of the Yamaha IR On/Off codes from my Harmony remote?

2. Is there a translation of the Power On code into a 4 digit integer that the Atlas understands?

3. Or, is there a translation of the Power On code into a 5 digit integer and a way to enter that into an Atlas remote?

4. Currently, the Power Off function is working with standard Audio-Power key sequence. If the Power On code can be entered, is there a way to assign it to another key or key sequence so that I can use both functions. For example, one of the two macro keys?

5. The * key on the Atlas is identified as a Shift key but the manual doesn't elaborate. Can additional codes be transmitted using the Shift key in combination with other keys? And if this is possible, how are these key combinations programmed?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. If I can't solve this, I may have to give my Harmony to my wife and I will no longer be master of my domain :)

The Atlas probably can be programmed, and I believe that your receiver is the same as a RX-V650, so the code you mentioned will work, and so will another pair.

But let's find out if you have a programmable Atlas. Use the 983 command to blink back the remote signature.  The 1056B01 will probably blink back 3033, while the B03 will probably blink back 2010.9

Hi 3FG,

My remote blinked back 3033 using the 983 command, so I guess I have an Atlas OCAP 1056B01.

I don't know of a way to extract digital information out of a Harmony remote.
According to Yamaha documentation for the RX-V650, which is said to be electronically identical to your receiver, System Power On is NEC1 device 122, function 29, and Off is function 30.  Main Power (as opposed to Zone 2 Power) is device 126; On is function 126 and Off is function 127.

Your Atlas isn't capable of sending device 126, so you'll need to work with 122. As you've probably already found, setup code 1276 will power your receiver off. You can get a power On command by assigning a 5 digit EFC to some other button. The shift key on the Atlas remote doesn't shift the remote itself, but you can get that action by using the Setup button (top left), if you want.

First let's just demonstrate that the Atlas will power on the receiver. Do that by making sure that you've got 1276 assigned to the Audio button. Then tap Setup (don't hold it) and then enter 00248. When you press the 5th digit (8), the remote will send the On command.

Assuming that works, choose a button to assign EFC 00248 to. I think a macro button will work, and probably the two button combo <Setup> <Power>   would also work. Or any other button (like PIP On/Off) will work.

Use the 994 command (One device mode) to make the assignment. Insert a tap of Setup before step 6 if you want to use a shifted button.

Thanks so much for your excellent help. I can now turn my receiver on using the PIP On/Off button.
