I never heard of that brand. You probably need to use the JP1 cable to decode some learned signals from the portland remote.

Meanwhile, you might as well use learning (up to the learning capacity of the 8810) to control the DVD and to be ready for the next step when the cable gets there.

Most people are misled by the 8810w manual regarding learning. You can actually learn onto almost any button of the 8810, not just the buttons dedicated for learning.
