Hi,

I've got a newish Samsung TV and a lovely old Denon AVR-2800 amp and I'm trying to set them up on Smart Remote ([Link: goo.gl]).

I've got most things working fine but I'm short of a couple of buttons for the amp (TV/DBS and Output).

I've found this old post ([Link: goo.gl]) which lists all the "device codes" and "button codes" for the AVR-2800 but I don't know how to use those to get the Pronto Hex codes that Smart Remote uses.

Can you let me know how I can translate from one to another or whether there's an IR app for Android that uses device / button codes that will support both the old Denon and the new Samsung.

Many thanks.

You might be better off asking in one of the Pronto forums (here or here).

Oddly enough, probably the OneForAll forum might have been better!  The link above to device codes (normally called a setup code)  and button codes (normally called EFCs) refers to a nomenclature used with UEI remotes (OneForAll, lots of cable remotes, and sometimes Denon OEM remotes). Setup code 0160 shoots the Denon IR protocol, device 2, while setup code Audio 0004 shoots Denon device 12.  You can see these in the Lookup Tool.   Using RemoteMaster to  convert the EFCs to function numbers, we see that TV/DBS is device 2, function number 201.  Output is device 12, function number 197.

Then using IrScrutiniser to convert these to Pronto Hex:

TV/DBS  Denon 2, function 201
0000 006D 0000 0020 000A 001E 000A 0046 000A 001E 000A 001E 000A 001E 000A 0046 000A 001E 000A 001E 000A 0046 000A 001E 000A 001E 000A 0046 000A 0046 000A 001E 000A 001E 000A 0677 000A 001E 000A 0046 000A 001E 000A 001E 000A 001E 000A 001E 000A 0046 000A 0046 000A 001E 000A 0046 000A 0046 000A 001E 000A 001E 000A 0046 000A 0046 000A 0677

Output  Denon 12, function 197
0000 006D 0000 0020 000A 001E 000A 001E 000A 0046 000A 0046 000A 001E 000A 0046 000A 001E 000A 0046 000A 001E 000A 001E 000A 001E 000A 0046 000A 0046 000A 001E 000A 001E 000A 0677 000A 001E 000A 001E 000A 0046 000A 0046 000A 001E 000A 001E 000A 0046 000A 001E 000A 0046 000A 0046 000A 0046 000A 001E 000A 001E 000A 0046 000A 0046 000A 0677

Apologies for cross-posting. When I posted in "everything else" I was recommended to post in both areas.

Thanks for posting the link to the Denon spreadsheet. Unfortunately it doesn't have the Pronto hex codes for the specifc buttons I need ("TV/DBS" and "Output").

The post I previously linked to (here : [Link: goo.gl]) contains "device code" and "button code" entries to both of those but I don't know how to get from those values to the hex values I need.

Apologies if I'm posting in the wrong section of the forum for this. If there's a more applicable area please let me know.

Thanks.

Dave,

As both Lyndel and 3FG (both true experts in their respective fields) mention, and as you've now discovered, cross posting can cause a great deal degree of confusion. However, as your query didn't really fall into any specific category I felt you'd be more likely to get a response in one of the "more heavily" trafficked forums than here.

Fortunately (hopefully?) alls well that ends well.
