How
do I use that type of code and turn into Hex (I think)
for the Pronto?
If you want to translate those into Pronto Hex, use the MakeHex program.
[Link: john.fine.home.comcast.net]Be sure to read the included readme file.
Marantz uses RC5 protocol for ordinary codes and RC5x for discrete codes.
So for the code you mentioned above, use RC5x.irp and edit it for
Device=16.12
Then select function 1 from the output file.
But you don't need to translate
Marantz codes from that speadsheet. Those discrete codes are the same across all models of that device type. They are given in many threads, in the online lists of discrete codes and in most CCF files for
Marantz devices. You can get the Pronto Hex easily from any of those places.
One such CCF file is:
[Link: remotecentral.com]Also, most versions of ProntoEdit understand the condensed form for RC5x signals so you can use the clean short versions of those discrete codes documented here:
[Link: remotecentral.com]The power On signal from there is
5001 0000 0000 0002 0010 000C 0001 0000
In that, the 0010 is hex for the 16 you quoted; The 000C is hex for the 12 you quoted and the 0001 is hex for the 1 you quoted. The rest is the basic structure for RC5x (so it is the same for all
Marantz discretes).
BTW, I don't know why that spreadsheet has the sequence 12,16,1. The usual sequence would be 16,12,1. The 16 represents the device code (receivers, preamps and similar are 16). The 12 represents the type of discrete code (12 is power). The 1 represents the value of the discrete (1 is On).
If this were a less common device code and less common discrete type, one could easily be confused about which is the device code and which is the discrete type, when those numbers are presented in a different sequence. But since the function is power on, and the 12 is the discrete type for power, there is no doubt that 16 is the device code.
