In order to use an MX-950 to control a Crestron control system (via integrated Crestron IR receiver) I need to load the MX with "RC-5" codes. I understand the concept, but can't seem to locate any codes labelled as such. I've heard that Sharp uses (mostly?) RC-5 codes but since the project is time sensitive, I don't want to go down the path of trial-and-error. Anybody know where I can get definitive RC-5 codes for this purpose. If possible, codes already tested for Crestron or other type of control system would be best.

Incidentally the entry in the MX-950's database does not work...they may be the correct type of codes, as they do register, but they do not correspond with the ID codes they supposedly represent. If anybody has had any luck doing this, please let me know and thanks!

I don't know much about Crestron, but the above sounds improbable. Why do you think the Crestron IR receiver requires RC5 codes?

Where did you hear nonsense like that? So far as I recall Sharp never or almost never uses RC5. Maybe I'm forgetting about some Sharp device using RC5, but I'm sure Sharp mainly uses their own IR protocol.

Many of the built-in code sets of the MX-950 use RC5 protocol. I'm not sure what other constraints you have, and I'm not even convinced RC5 is what you really want. So it is probably premature to start listing which manufacturers and device types are most likely to be RC5.
