it's finding
them that's difficult.
For those who don't work with these tools, what I'm about to suggest may be as difficult as finding the code some other way. But if you ever have an OFA code and no OFA remote and no easy alternative, you can translate it to Pronto Hex:
There are several files and tools on the jp1 section of hifi-remote.com that let you translate from OFA setup code number and EFC number to generic reverse engineered protocol name, device number and function (OBC) number. Then you can use the MakeHex program to translate from that generic form to Pronto Hex, then you can import Pronto Hex to the programming system of other universal remotes including MX models.
For Sony, you can do better by starting at
[Link: hifi-remote.com]which has almost all Sony codes already in that generic form (that can be used as input to MakeHex).
I wonder how many of the pros in this business
have an old OFA in their tool box :-)
Often that isn't good enough. Any actual OFA remote supports only a subset of OFA codes. The JP1 software gives you access to a much wider set (of user discovered and posted discrete codes).
