The MX-500 is a good remote "as is." You can
use it to replace all your other remotes.
If you want to set up one button that turns everything
"on," and another that turns everything "off,"
you will need to teach some special codes to your
MX-500. That is one of the benefits of a good
universal remote, and something most users here
have done with theirs. When you use it like this,
the MX-500 no longer just "replaces" your original
remotes; instead it can do things above and beyond
those individual remotes.
If your original remotes only have a single "power"
button, then they will not be able to teach the
necessary codes to your new remote. That is usually
the case with most OEM remotes, even though the
latest devices are capable of more precise control.
Cheap JP1 remotes have the ability to generate
custom IR codes. That's a separate feature from
their JP1 interface, but very useful if you're
programming an MX-500. You can use the JP1 remote
to teach custom "advanced" codes to your MX-500
that your devices will respond to -- codes that
even the original brand remote can't transmit.
Unless you're trying program the button layout
on the JP1 remote (not necessary unless you're
planning to use it as your everyday remote) you
won't need the cable. I ended up buying the 8810w. I believe the only function I want from it at this time is discete codes for seperate "power on & "power off" for all my devices except the cable box-which I will leave on all the time. So without a JP1 cable, but with the 8810w remote-what is the procedure to eventually have the power on & off ability on my MX-500. Please be a specific as possible, like press x and then press y and then hold down x and point remote a at reomte b or type in xyz to remote a or b... You get the picture. I am really starting to understand this stuff-I feel I am very close. Thanks Mark This message was edited by tase2 on 11/11/03 23:34.

Mark, I see from your other thread that you have
pioneer receiver, none the pioneer setup codes
in the more recent OFA remotes accept advanced
codes, like the URC-8810w. But the radio shack
15-2116 still has setup code AMP0013, which has
a boat load of EFC's available. Just something
think about. This quote, takes care of the pioneer. Panasonic TV- Setup code 0250-ON 022, OFF 026. Panasonic DVD- 0490- ON 022, OFF 026. 1. press device 2. press and hold SETUP for two blinks 3. press 9-9-4 4. press SETUP for one blink 5. enter three-digit advanced code 6. pick a key

I had so many replies and notes to sift through that I must have missed your info. on the Pioneer. Oops.
Does that mean I need to get a radio shack 15-2116 for any chance of a seperate on & off function for the Pioneer A/V receiver?
Thanks for the other codes.
Mark

The $30 2116 will work,but the $17 15-2103 will work just as well. On the 2103 the code is AUX0013,and the directions for entering the advanced codes are the same, but instead of SETUP, you use P.

Edmund I just purchased the 2103. I understand your directions, but both the 2103 & 8810w both instruct to program all the codes into the remote first. Is that the same as programming the MX-500 codes or do there codes contain some discretes. Si I guess what I am asking is do I need to follow the 8810w directions and find all the device codes and program them in and in turn send to the MX-500 or do I just program the few codes you gave me and try and learn the rest from the OEM to the MX-500? I hope that isn't more confusing than I need to make it? Mark

First you need to program the setup codes(4 digit) in the ofa/rs remotes, before you can use any advanced codes(3 digit). Follow the directions to map the advanced codes, once mapped, then you teach those commands from ofa/rs remote to the mx-500.

Just to be sure:
For the Panosonics: Using the 8810w
TV-0250-On 022, Off 026
DVD 0490 On 022 Off 026
For the Pioneer: Using the 2103
I use AUX0013 for the setup code?
What do I use for On? Off?
How do I then get them to the MX-500?
And do I need to learn anything else to the 8810w or 2103? Or do I learn all other steps directly to MX-500?
Another possible silly question-when I enter the set up codes to the 8810w & 2103-is that the same as entering the preprogrammed codes into the MX-500. I mean when I enter the set up codes does it do more than allow for advance codes? And can I just send everything to the MX-500?

For the Pioneer, ON-247, OFF-251. Start punching in CODES, get some firsthand knowledge.

Thought you might like to know that I had a few extra minutes before work and accomplished step 1. On the 8810w I entered the setup code for the TV and then set up "on" in M1 $ "off" on M2. Pretty easy. After work I will try to do more.
Since I had mentioned somewhere in one of my many posts that the "closed caption" function will probably be one of the most important functions used on the MX-500. Now my question is (and please don't get mad) is there an advanced code for that 5 step function (probably not, now that I think about it). That will need a macro set up to do that function.
Do I set up the Macro in the 8810w and later learn it to the MX-500 or do I wait and set up the macro on the MX-500 itself?
I am really sorry that I am being such a PIA, but I really want to get this right.
Thanks
Mark

If there's a EFC for CC on your TV, you can find it here. But if you need a macro, then it'll have to set up on the mx-500 itself.

Can I just send you an MXD with the on off discretes? I have a VSX-49TX, but it should work with many models. The whole point of the device library is to get this functionality without having to revert to arcane measures. I learned it from a Pronto 6000.

Tim Thanks Tim that would be great. Could you point me in the right direction as to the instructions on how to work with MXD files. I mean how do I eventually get what I need to the MX-500? Thanks Mark

Mark,
I just sent you the devise file (MXD) and the full file (for an 800 though).
Under the editor you should have the ability to right click on the top device item to add a device. When that shows up, right click on that then import the MXD (needs to be unzipped first).
If 700/800 MXDs are not compatiple with 500/600 MXDs I apologize in advance.
You'll find getting used to the editor about 10x more intuitive than doing the IR.exe stuff (which is not to diminish the value/capability, just more complex).
Tim
