I'd appreciate if someone could tell if I did this conversion correctly.  I have a Denon AVR-X3700H and a Harmony Elite Hub remote.  I found discrete codes listed for Speaker Preset (Toggle), Speaker Preset 1, Speaker Preset 2 in the following document for the X2700H (one model below my X3700H from the same year) on page 15:

[Link: google.com]

I would assume these codes should work on any similar Denon model.  So I used the Denon Pronto Hex Generator ([Link: files.remotecentral.com]) to convert the listed Kaseikyo codes to pronto hex for my Harmony.  I came up with the codes below.  However, after having them added to my Harmony device database, they don't seem to work.  This is my first time trying to do this type of conversion, so would someone be willing to double-check these and tell me if they're right or wrong, and explain what I need to do to get the correct codes if they're wrong?  Thanks.

Thanks but these are not the functions I’m looking for. Speaker A-B does something completely different.

I appreciate your help. But it doesn't sound like you've understood my request. I'm not really asking for discrete codes. I'm asking if someone could help me by checking the conversion I tried to do and confirm that the codes I got from the conversion are wrong, and hopefully explain how to do it correctly so I can try regenerating the codes.

Thanks.

IrScrutinizer says your codes are Denon-k protocol, device 4, subdevice 1 (Kaseikyo 4.1 codes I assume) function 891 for the 1st and 2nd and function 892 for the 3rd.
Should be functions 891, 892 and 893 respectively.
Here is what IrScrutinizer renders:

That's the limit of my knowledge. You are probably going to need Barf's help for more.

Clearly I made a mistake and duplicated one of the codes.  But comparing your first code (Speaker Preset Toggle - 891) to mine, the only difference is the last byte (D vs. E).

Here is the line from the manual:
RCKSK0410891       1101111011**********       Speaker Preset (Toggle)

And here is how I entered it in the Pronto Hex Generator:

[Link: ibb.co]

As you can see, it's generating the exact same code with an "E" in the last byte.

Did I miss something?  Is the Pronto Hex Generator not working?  I appreciate everyone's help.

Compare your codes to the Denon codes I posted.
The codes are from the Denon mothership.

The last byte probably does not make any difference in the functionality of the code. I think what I did just confirms what you got from the Denon Pronto Hex Generator. I checked and the Denon documents for the X2700H, X3700H and X6700H which all show the same codes. I wonder if the receivers will actually respond to them. I do not have a Denon that I can test them with.

Why would they be in the IR Codes document if the receivers weren't programmed to respond to those codes?

I have an openHAB home automation server setup with the DenonMarantz Binding, and I'm able to send IP commands to the receiver and change the speaker presets using the IP/RS232 version of those same commands. That would seem to be an indication that the receiver responds to those commands.

I'll find out in the next few days after Logitech adds the new codes to my Harmony database.

Now if I could only find some IR codes to change volume by more than 0.5db at a time!

The codes as given by this thread and therein cited document work. (I am a Denon user myself.) Of course, not all codes work on all models, and the recognized commands can also change by the occasional firmware updates.

"Genre1" in the document corresponds to D (Device) in IrScrutinizer (and the Denon tool). "Genre2" in the document to S (subdevice) in IrScrutinizer and the Denon tool. Note that the Genre2 value increases by on when using a RemoteID > 0 (described in the document). In the Denon Tool, you enter the function number and the RemoteID separately, in IrScrutinizer, as F you take the function number plus the RemoteID-1 shifted 10 places. This possibly sounds more complicated than it is: The main case is RemoteID=0 in which case you just take the function number for F, for the other RemoteIDs you add 1024, 2048 or 3072. (Actually, said model only supports 0 and 1).

All the numbers in the pronto (except the first four) denotes duration, i.e. a time. SO "small" variations are ok. The last number is special: it just denotes that the IR light is off for a "long" time.

So his problem is on the Harmony side.

Barf thanks for this information and for your IrScrutinizer and Arduino Nano device. They have both been so useful for me over the years. Your efforts are much appreciated.
