You've already found all you need, just haven't realized
it. Populate the remote with codes from multiple databases.
Use the codes for STR-D965 for all buttons except power
on and off, then drag the discreet on/off codes from the
other generic Sony databases.
It's a pretty simple matter to test the discreen on/off
codes, find the ones that work and drag them to new buttons.
While you're at it, you might also find some other useful
codes that don't exist in consumer databases.
Thanks. One problem I have is a non-functioning USB port on laptop...
a hardware problem unfixable at reasonable cost. But, I could create a seperate "device" for all SONY n alternatives, download, disconnect, and sit down in front of the system. However, I instead just "learned" them from the MX-500 that
I had taught from an OFA.
I did, finally, pick up on the drag-and-drop method. Usually, that is provided as a alternative to cut/paste. The latter is conventionally implemented on a menu so a new user can stumble arounf and figure it out. The proplem with just having drag-and-drop is there is no on-screen clue that that is what one is supposed to do. It is in the users manual, but one gets in the habit of not looking at the UM untill all else has failed. IOW, RTFM has largely been forgotten as a learning paridigm, except at URC.
I will get through this, as I did with the MX-500.
