The original remote for my Philips 724 DVD player no longer works, so I got a Pronto NEO, having been told it would "just work" with Philips DVD players.

Heh, heh. No it doesn't.

Would some kind person please help with one of the following:

1. Is there a code I can enter in the "Brand" area of the NEO setup that will magically let it control my DVD player? (Tried 0566 and 0530, entered by hand and with NEOedit - no go.)

2. Lacking #1, does anyone know the code that will allow me to control the DVD player using the Sony RM-VL900? Then I can choose to return the NEO, or teach it using the Sony.

3. If not #2, can anyone give me the information I need to start entering hex codes or whatever it is I should do to get individual commands/buttons to work with the DVD player?

4. If there's another way to do this I haven't thought of, I'm ready to learn about it.

Thanks - any help most appreciated.
