Can someone please explain how to use Hex codes for the MX 700.

I have the following info about the oppo 970 DVD Player. But I'm not sure how to make it happen.

For Philips Pronto users, the built-in HEX codes for discrete on/off are:

Discrete ON: 900A 006D 0000 0001 49B6 5AA5
Discrete OFF: 900A 006D 0000 0001 49B6 5BA4

For JP1 remote users, the discrete on/off codes are:

Discrete ON: NEC1, device #73, OBC 90
Discrete OFF: NEC1, device #73, OBC 91

There are several threads in which I've explained how to translate from that Pronto 900A form to the JP1 form. But you don't seem to need that.

Does the MX 700 have a universal browser (I've used universal browser only for MX850)?

If so, there are several threads in which I've explained the path from codes in JP1 form through MakeHex, Notepad, IrPanels and Univeral Browser.

The OneForAll remotes that can generate those signals (for teaching your MX700) without a JP1 cable are mainly European models and obsolete or expensive or both. So if you want to teach the signal from an OFA remote, you'll either need a JP1 cable, or get the DVD/1224 setup code added to an upgradeable model.

Ok I searched and read over some threads. But still confused. Yes the Mx 700 has a universal browser. I use the Mx 950 for my main viewing are but the MX 700 for my basment Home Theatre.

Basically is there a simple way to convert the hex codes I posted to a workable command for the mx 700? If its too complex I'll leave it for the experts.

I found the JP1 file here:

Will that make it easier to get into the Universal Browser?

Only hex codes that begin with "0" can be put in to a Pronto file and used with the UB. I have an explanation of how to do that in the FAQ section of my website.

As far as the Oppo 970HD discretes are concerned, I have them in an MXF file you can download here: [Link: surfremotecontrol.com]

The JP1 file doesn't help, other than to extract the info you already posted. All the steps are simple, but there are several steps:

1) You start with:
The JP1 protocol name: NEC1 and device number: 73 and the list giving OBC number for each function name you want.

2) Edit NEC1.irp from MakeHex.zip to set the device number to 73

3) Drag/drop NEC1.irp onto MakeHex.exe, which creates NEC1.hex

4) Open NEC1.hex in notepad, SelectAll and copy to clipboard

5) Open IrPanels.exe, paste from clipboard, and create CCF.

6) Open the created CCF file in Universal browser. Use the list of OBC numbers (see step 1) to decide which numbered button to drag for each desired function.

Mike I appreciate it. That helps allot but I will still play with it as I'm trying to increase my knowledge for my own use of these products.

A very important consideration if you're building the CCF via ProntoEdit. But if you're using MakeHex and IrPanels and skipping ProntoEdit you don't need to worry about that level of detail (it just happens correctly).


Maybe you could mention the MakeHex/IrPanels alternative there.


Assuming those are these same NEC1:73 commands, that is a much easier answer for this thread.

You're right. It's an easier alternative and the way to go if you don't have the "0" lead-in Pronto hex. I've been meaning to update that anyway.


Yes, they are. I'm an Oppo dealer and beta tester, so I've had them for awhile. ;-)

Hi,

Do you have a file for the MX-3000 for disrete code "ON and OFF" for the 970HD?

Thanks

Use the Universal Browser in MX-3000 editor with the MXF file and you can drag in the discretes to your MX-3000 configuration.

Thanks, I tried that and it would say it's not a MX file.

I had MX-3000 editor open and MXF editor open. It would not let me drag one to a other.

If it's an MXD file, then open it with MXEditor (for the MX-700, 800 or 850) and save it as an MXF file (File-Save). You can then open it with the Universal Browser.
