My dealer programmed my MX–980 for my home environment and provided me with the CCP software. I’ve used it to fix a number of issues. My Onkyo receiver died and I had to replace it. It generally has worked with my MX-980 but I have a couple of problems I would like to fix, probably best done by configuring in the new Onkyo Receiver, replacing the IR commands from my old receiver. What is the best way to migrate to the new receiver? Or if I purchased a new TV, how would I configure that?

Also, is there a way to query CCP to find out what device models are being used? Can I somehow go through my device list and find out the brand and model numbers currently in use, say for my TV, my receiver, my Blu-Ray player etc.?

Responses are much appreciated.

If you have the CCP software you should be able to download the programming manual. It has everything you're asking about.

I have the programming manual and know how to setup a device, of course with its brand and model. I don’t know how to find this info later - it’s like I’m having to setup a device all over again from scratch. Do I have to create a new device, like the receiver or new TV, and modify all references to the old devices to the new ones, then delete the no longer used devices?

I don’t recall this being mentioned in the manual, but I will review it again tonight. It has been awhile since I read it completely. Any further guidance would be appreciated. Thank you for responding to my question.

It looks like I can overwrite a device and

It looks like I can overwrite a device and then have to modify all related macros using the old device and map to the new device commands. An example being referencing an HDMI port for a DVD and having to remap to the corresponding DVD /HDMI port on the new receiver.

I still however don’t know how to query existing device brands/ models for current devices in the model. More experimentation might shed some light.
