I need to add an Original 2008 MkII CD player (quite a rare beast -- audiophile class CD player made in China) to the system controlled by URC MX-980/MSC-400. I could not find a ready made IR database for it, except a Pronto database, which can not be exported. I tried to learn the codes from the original remote, but for some reason the MX-980 doesn't read the codes correctly. Somewhere on the net I found a file called Original-2008_remote-codes-hex.rtf, which looks like this:

1
5000 0000 0000 0001 0004 0001
2
5000 0000 0000 0001 0004 0002
3
5000 0000 0000 0001 0004 0003
4
5000 0000 0000 0001 0004 0004
5
5000 0000 0000 0001 0004 0005
6
5000 0000 0000 0001 0004 0006
7
5000 0000 0000 0001 0004 0007
8
5000 0000 0000 0001 0004 0008
9
5000 0000 0000 0001 0004 0009
0
5000 0000 0000 0001 0004 0023
program
5000 0000 0000 0001 0004 000A
clear
5000 0000 0000 0001 0004 002B
backward skip
5000 0000 0000 0001 0004 001F
forward skip
5000 0000 0000 0001 0004 002A
time
5000 0000 0000 0001 0004 003C

I can't figure out, if these codes can be somehow used in URC CCP -- at least, HEX editor does not accept them.

So, questions are:

Is there a method to capture the IR codes and clean them up, so they can be imported back to URC CCP; or

Is there a utility which can convert the 12-byte codes I have into a format which URC can understand.

These are RC5 Protocol codes in Pronto short form hex. RC5 use a Toggle Bit.

e.g.
time
5000 0000 0000 0001 0004 003C

5000 means RC5 Protocol
04 is the Device Number in hex (Decimal = 4)
3C is the Function Number in hex (Decimal = 60)

You can use MakeHex to generate them all in standard hex or you can use the RC5 to Hex Conversion Tool.


Cheers
Jason
