yes, floyd, as i said, i'd been all over that site, and was unable to find anything that worked with my gear. i'm quite familiar with the process of translating the codes on that page into EFCs to plug into the remote.

and yes, i of course know that the device codes had to be downloaded, and so far, no fewer than 10 codes have been loaded into the remote.

i certainly do appreciate you're trying to be helpful, but i *did* in fact read the manual, and having had no luck with that, have scoured the web for additional info... i can appreciate that a lot of people may come here asking stupid RTFM questions... i'm not one of those people.
