I am looking for someone that is very generous. I recently purchased an RCA Scenium HDTV and it is capable of browsing the web. Of course this is only possible if you purchase RCA's $90 wireless keyboard. I was wondering if anyone has the IR codes for this keyboard and would be willing to share, or if need be willing to sell them to me. With the use of Daniel's pronto Keyboard I think it would work out very well and it would cost a lot less.

Part2:
I have been reading up on the IR coding structures because unfortunately, like many other lost souls, I own a Kenwood receiver (VR-3080) that does not have discrete power codes. What I am wondering is if I am able to decipher the Kenwood coding structure is it possible to CREATE/DEFINE the on/off discrete codes? Or is it a lost cause and I should just stop dreaming?

Part3:
Being a software engineer I am constantly thinking that if we (as pronto users/programmers/hacks) were able to have state variables this remote and software would be the greatest thing since, well, .Net! --- A little developer humor!

Thanks In Advance

no, a discrete code must be there, you might need to decypher it (search for it) but if it is not there you cannot create it

Thanks for the response, but here is my thinking. The remote that comes with the VR-3080 is the RC-0907 which is Kenwood's first attempt at a decent remote. Unfortunately there attempt failed. Anyway the remote has the ability to do macros. There are 4 preconfigured macros that are Video On, Video Off, Audio On, and Audio Off. These must use some type of discrete coding because if you hit the any of the buttons twice it does not perform the opposite operation like it would if it were a toggle. I can learn these macros into the Pronto but once they are in the Pronto they perform as toggles. Looking at the IR codes there is only one set of digits different between the 4 macros. I gues I am just one of those guys that when someone says something can not be done it is my job to either confirm it without any doubt or prove them wrong. In this case it would make for a much more user-friendly home theater control system if I could prove them wrong.

Maybe there is a two way communication going on, like some Sony equipment.

That very well could be. I didn't think of that. I know the remote is two way. Well that really puts a money wrench in things. I really don't want to start thinking about a work-around. They always turn "Hackey". There is nothing like a good discrete code.

I would be curious to see how custom installers deal with the Kenwood issues. Someone must have come across this and done something. I can't imagine paying someone to setup my home theater including Pronto and have them come back to me with an awkward user interface. That just wouldn't be exceptable.

Unfortunately, just because a component has discrete codes for one function doesn't mean it has discrete codes for anything else. I've seen many components that support discrete power, but not discrete inputs. What a given component does in response to a particular IR code is pre=programmed--it's not a language to be deciphered. Sometimes a component may have functionality in its code set that isn't represented on the factory remote, but even then that functionality was programmed by the component designers.
