Suddenly things make sense. That's why most of the commands are neatly sequenced with command numbers 0 to 32, but the above commands are scattered around with higher command numbers.

[sound of lightbulb turning on]
I wouldn't have guessed that something like this would be an option, but sure enough this works! Thanks Bruce and everyone who tried to help me figure it out. I guess that the Squeezebox is truly customizable.

After a failed attempt to explain this by email, I decided it's easier to just post the answer here rather than explain how the answer was reached.

The following are the high numbered commands from the .zip file (at the start of this thread), with each of them in both the 900B format from that .zip and 0000 format from MakeHex:

John, thank you so much for posting these, I'll try them out! I confess that perhaps I was unable to understand how to convert these, and appreciate your support in my ignorance!

Johnsfine,

I'm struggling with a (possibly) similar issue: I need to convert a Onkyo Chad code to use it on my Pronto RU890 (European version of TS1000).

I tried to use the following code on the Pronto but it doesn't work:

8000 0000 0002 0000 000a 2454 000e 0000

How can I convert it?

I don't know how to convert that.

8000 format is a database lookup. Most of the database is licensed from UEI and has setup codes matching those known to the JP1 group.

The 000a indicates device type 10 (because 0a in hex equals 10 in decimal). I don't recall which device type is 10. I could play with ProntoEdit a little to find out, but in this case it wouldn't help.

The 000e indicates key number 14, which I also don't remember but could find out by playing with ProntoEdit.

The 2454 indicates setup code number 9300. That's the problem. So far as I know, UEI setup code numbers don't go that high. The other examples I have seen, setup code numbers over 9000 represented database entries that appeared to come from sources other than UEI.

There are lots of CCF files available for Onkyo devices, and Onkyo seems pretty consistent (across models) in their use of IR commands. I forget what a "Chad" is, but I'm pretty sure it would be easier to find its IR commands somewhere in standard Pronto Hex, than to find the definition of that setup code 9300.

Later Edit: I see I misunderstood. The Chad is another universal remote, not the device you're trying to control. So what device are you trying to control? Do you have a Chad or did you just get the 8000 code someone else used in their Chad? (If you have it, can't you just learn the signal from one remote to another?)
