Thanks for the response and the suggestion.

I've tried this now with three different code sets- one for my Sony Bluray (not a good plan in retrospect), one for a DVD HD, and one for a Pioneer BDP-120 that I got from a project in the discrete area... my Phillips database has NO Bluray at all in it.

All these options were learned successfully by the AppleTV.

They work fine to control the menu functions- up/down/left/right/OK/menu but don't work for play/pause/stop etc.

Any further suggestions welcome...

Thanks.
