Hello Doe anyone have the Discrete HEX codes for Sony reciever Zone2 on/off, Zone2 Sources etc.

Thanks Joe

I probably have these codes. Of course, your asking for a substantial amount of codes, that will all Need to be cross-learned and posted. Anything more pressing than others, as this will take some time.

I have an MX-800 and have not gone through the exercise converting URC's IR database entries into hex codes, but their MX-800 editor has access to a number of
STR-DN1050 codes.

I will note that their databases entries have NO discrete codes to select the "Internet Music Services" input for either Zone 1 or Zone 2 (nor is there a button on the remote to learn). If I could get codes for those I'd be happy :-)

You'll find that, at least in URC's database, Zone 2 on/off is a toggle. However, if Zone 2 is off and you select a Zone 2 source then Zone 2 will turn on. If Zone 2 was already on and then the desired source is selected Zone 2 remains on.
 

Generally speaking (depending on vintage and some other things), Sony, Marantz, Integra, Denon, and Sherwood Receiver will turn on (and go to) by pressing the input button on the OEM remote. This works for their zone 2, zone 3, etc.

So, if on the off chance you can't find discrete power (like I was unable to with the Sherwood), you can call an empty input, delay, and then power toggle as an anchor for "discrete power off."

I'm just going to come right out and say it, that code for Network Zone 2 was HARD to find. Even Zone 1 wasn't floating out there easily. The reason you couldn't find the Z2 code is because it simply doesn't exist. And I don't mean literally there is no code for it, I mean I have seen one documented incident of it floating around the web. And it's not in |_|RC's database either. I went through the whole sony receiver line, and there is NOTHING for z2 network. Finding the z1 took quite a bit of device searching too. In the end, I believe I have the z2 network commands. The major players really need to drop this code into their db's. Power were easy to find. Some of these codes have hard coded repeats in them. Because there are some purist out there, I apologize. Personally, I have found Sony responds better to three repeats.

Thanks, great help with this and the other idea about how to handle lack of a discrete power off. Very elegant solution.

One clarification. The Sony has two similar sounding inputs:
1. "Network" which is for a home DLNA network
2. "Internet Music Services" which is for things such as Pandora or Spotify.

"Network" codes are readily available in URC's db, but "Internet Music Services" are not.

Did you mean to say "Internet Music Services" when you listed your codes in Post 5?

Again, thanks!

I've been going back and forth all day on how to respond to this post because every response I have can read with this sliver of arrogance that I don't mean. The truth is, I don't know, try the codes, see what happens.

I don't have access to your receiver model. I am working with the STR-DAxxxx and the STR-ZAxxxx (ES) receivers. The work differently. They go to network sources with the SEN command. I am also not driving them through IR control. I feel like I cheat myself when I slap an emmiter on the front of a receiver. I am using RS232 (of if I MUST) IP control. The options for these commands are far far greater.

Had you not told me that your Sony has a different command for internet services vs DLNA, I wouldn't know. However, I posted two codes, Server and Network. I would assume, going blindly into this, that Network goes to I-services, and server goes to DLNA. I don't know. I need your feedback to tell me what is working and not working.

All I CAN tell you is that your Sony Receiver uses 15 bit commands in this device number range:

protocol = Sony15, device = 121. This is reinforced by x-learning the codes manually and passing them through IRScrutinizer, and verifying it against the known Sony database. Knowing this, you could potentially generate all ~120 commands and fire all of them at receiver and see what happens. Or try the codes I posted...

Here are some others you can try, though they are likely for the DMPort and are 20 bit commands. I don't know if you receiver will accept them.

Thanks again! No arrogance at all detected. I'd be more than happy to report my findings but shortly after my initial post I decided to return the DN1050.

Sony's on-line documentation implied and Sony's support group confirmed that I could output HDMI audio to Zone 2. However, Sony's level-two support and my own testing indicates that only analog sources can be output to Zone 2.

I honestly appreciate the time and effort you spent in sharing this info. My hope is that someone will test a DN1050 and report the results for the community.

Hello, could someone post the hex codes for str dn 1050?


EDIT: Found them in Global cache IR Database.

I have a STR-DN1080. I can't find discreet codes for ZONE2 input BD/DVD or ZONE2 input Bluetooth. Is there anyone out there that can help me with that.
