Hi, First post on here. I'm sure I packed them, but I've looked everywhere and cannot find the 3 remotes for my Home Theatre setup. I know I can get a universal remote and effectively control the main functions of my A/V receiver, blu-ray player and TV, but what about all the additional functions that were on the remotes, like setting up the automatic equalizer on the receiver, or selecting different audio soundscapes, speaker set-ups (stereo, 7 speaker stereo, surround, etc.) There was so much I could do with those remotes, and I'm not sure that I'll have access to all the functions they had unless I replace them with OEM remotes. Thanks for any input. Stu

If it's OEM remotes you're after, make and model no. of your components would help. However, they can be ridiculously expensive, which rather brings to mind a JP1 alternative. 3FG is more the member to speak to about those though.

Thanks, I do know how to obtain the OEM remotes, however that could be a bit expensive. My question is whether any universal remotes out there will fulfill all, or most at least, of the functions I could perform with those remotes. Bear in mind that I do not have (or can't find) the OEM remotes to 'pair' with any universal remote that may work. Thanks again.

The problem with most 3rd party universals is that they're unlikely to have codes that cover the more "esoteric" functions of the original OEM. In this regard (and without the original remotes to learn from) JP1 programming may a route to follow. Alternatively, you could check out one of these (review here - I've been using one for several years and have had no major issues), or you could check out the Harmony range, but I've no experience of them, so cannot offer any guidance.

We need to know which equipment you own in order to have a possibility of telling if a universal can send all of the codes. In any event, a hard button remote typically won't have a button labeled Soundscape, but if that doesn't bother you and you have equipment with known IR codes (most major brands), then we can help. The universal almost certainly needs to be one made by UEI, if you're looking for cheap. For more money, a Harmony will either have the codes already or they can be added.

Hi and thanks for your responses. The components whose remotes I'm missing include a Yamaha HTR 5690 A/V receiver, a Hewlett Packard MD5880N DLP television and a Pioneer BDP 320 Blu Ray player. I also have a Motorola VIP2262 (Bell Fibe TV) receiver, which I do have the remote for. Thanks again, your help is appreciated.

Well, if you have the Bell Nova remote, then you probably can control everything with it, assuming it responds to the 994 commands that allow one to manually assign additional functions to buttons. I can supply you with the necessary EFCs, since the IR codes for all of your components are known. You can start by using setup code TV 1494 for the HP, Video 0142 for the BDP 320, and one of Audio 0176, 1176, 1276, or 1376 for the Yamaha (which uses the same IR codes as the RX-V1400). Choose an Audio code which controls Power correctly, probably 0176. If you don't have a Nova (or another cable remote that contains all 3 setup codes), then it will probably be necessary to get a JP1.3 flash cable and e.g. a RCA RCRP05B remote. That will run $20-$25. I can recommend a cable vendor. The RMIR software is free, and runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac.

Hey Thanks, I do have the Nova and got it to control all 3 components. Sort of. The TV is fine, as it's only the main menu, volume, mute and channels that I need, which it does. The Pioneer, as I suspected, can only control the main operating functions, which is better than I had (had to watch a movie last night with my inlaws, who speak Spanish only, with no way to turn on the subtitles. Now I can, so thanks again). However, I can't seem to get into the player's actual menu, for setting up the player for different configurations. Not crucial right now, but definitely something I'd like to have. The Yamaha was the least successful. I found a code to turn it off, but not back on again. None of the codes would turn it back on, only off. When on, I can adjust the volume and that's about it. The original remote had tons of functions on it, so that's the one I'm going to miss the most. Still, I'm way ahead of where I was 24 hours ago, so thanks again.

Ok, that's good. Now we need to see if the remote can be manually programmed. Let's start with the BluRay, since Pioneer publishes the codes for that exact model. On most UEI remotes, it is possible to test an EFC without assigning it to a button. Select DVD (or the device button you're using with the BDP 320), and 1) Tap Setup (don't hold it) 2) Enter one of the below 5 digit EFCs When you press the 5th digit the BDP should respond. Using setup code Video 0142 Standby/On 21700 Open/Close 54980 play 20932 pause 20420 stop 19908 Reverse 34756 Forward 35268 Previous 20164 Next 20676 Secondary Audio 22724 Secondary Video 23236 Enter 35524 Return 50372 Left 64197 Right 63173 Down 63685 Up 62661 Home Menu 54724 Menu/Pop Up Menu 22980 Top Menu 54468 Home Media 51908 Clear 02244 Red 64708 Green 65732 Blue 65220 Yellow 66244 Display 03012 FL DIMMER 18884 Output Resolution Up 18372 Output Resolution Down 17604 Video Select 21956 Video Adjust 52676 Tools 56260 Audio 22212 Subtitle 52932 Angle 55492 Play Mode 17092 1 06596 2 06084 3 07108 4 05316 5 06340 6 05828 7 06852 8 38340 9 39364 0 05572 Power On 22468 Power Off 23492 Once you know that the BluRay responds, then you can choose buttons to semi-permanently assign the EFCs to. You can't assign EFCs to the device buttons or the setup button. 1) Press Setup until 2 blinks 2) Enter 994 (you should get 2 blinks) 3) Tap Setup 4) Enter the 5 digit EFC 5) Tap the button to which you wish to assign this function. Now the remote should respond to the button you pressed in step 5. I hope the remote is capable of accepting EFCs. As a favor, would you mind looking to see if your remote has either a) 5 holes at the base of the remote, or b) a 6 pin header in the battery compartment? These would be used to do JP1 programming, and I'm curious if the remote has either of these connectors. Also would you mind blinking back the remote signature using the 983 command? I expect that the signature will have 5 digits ( like 21532, as an example) It will probably start with a 2 or a 3.

Now for the Yamaha, in principle we have the codes, but Yamaha/s documentation from 10 years ago is a little spotty. Here are EFCs from partly the RX-V2400 and partly a HTR-5790. I haven't included all of them!
You need to use setup code Audio 1815 for these EFCs to work. 6 Chan In-Toggle 64197 6.1 ES-Toggle 47813 Auto Tune-DN 23173 Auto Tune-UP 22149 CBL/SAT 58821 CD 45253 CD-R 12741 DC Trigger OFF 48261 DC Trigger ON 50053 DTV / LD 40133 DVD 59845 DVR/VCR2 46021 Display 59333 Dolby/Enhanced 18053 Dolby/Normal 18565 ES Discrete ON 16517 Effect Off 01413 Effect On 04741 Home-Mem "A" 37765 Home-Mem "B" 35973 Home-Mem "C" 36997 Home-Recall "A" 53381 Home-Recall "B" 52869 Home-Recall "C" 53893 Input Mode-AUTO 05765 Input Mode-Analog 38789 Input Mode-DD RF 06789 Input Mode-DTS 38277 Input Mode-Digital 39301 MD/Tape 11717 Menu 13509 Neo:6 Cinema 33157 Neo:6 Music 32645 Phono 44229 Power OFF 17029 Power ON 16005 Power Toggle 36741 Preset Page Toggle 44997 Program Adventure 19333 Program Disco 50565 Program Freiburg 34181 Program Game 51077 Program General 17541 Program Hall A 02437 Program Hall B 01925 Program Live Concert 01669 Program Mono Movie 51845 Program Roxy Theater 34949 Program Sci-Fi 18309 Program Spectacle 18821 Program TV Sports 17797 Program The Bottom Line 33925 Prologic II Movie 66181 Prologic II Music 32133 Select 46789 Select Audio Adjustment 63173 Set Menu + (Parameter Right) 14021 Set Menu - (Parameter Left) 15045 Set Menu Down 58565 Set Menu Down (Parameter Down) 13509 Set Menu Left 60101 Set Menu Right 59077 Set Menu Up 59589 Set Menu Up (Parameter Up) 14533 Sleep 41669 Speaker A-OFF 38021 Speaker A-ON 39813 Speaker B-OFF 38533 Speaker B-ON 39045 Surround / Effect Toggle 40645 Test 63685 Tuner 44741 Tuner Band-AM 22661 Tuner Band-FM 21637 Tuner Preset + 44485 Tuner Preset - 45509 Tuner Preset 1 02245 Tuner Preset 2 01669 Tuner Preset 3 02757 Tuner Preset 4 34245 Tuner Preset 5 35269 Tuner Preset 6 34757 Tuner Preset 7 35781 Tuner Preset 8 33989 Tuner-Bank "A" 01477 Tuner-Bank "B" 02501 Tuner-Bank "C" 01989 Tuner-Bank "D" 03013 Tuner-Bank "E" 01221 V-Aux 41157 VCR1 29381 Vol-Memory "A" 33669 Vol-Memory "B" 31877 Vol-Memory "C" 32901 Vol-Mute Toggle 11461 Vol-Recall "A" 49285 Vol-Recall "B" 48773 Vol-Recall "C" 49797 Volume + 12229 Volume - 13253 Z2 In-CBL/Sat 25797 Z2 In-CD 43461 Z2 In-CDR 42181 Z2 In-DTV/LD 10693 Z2 In-DVD 26821 Z2 In-LD 43205 Z2 In-MD/Tape 27333 Z2 In-Phono 42437 Z2 In-Sat 27589 Z2 In-Tape 43973 Z2 In-Tuner 42949 Z2 In-V Aux 09669 Z2 In-VCR 3 26309 Z2 In-VCR1 42693 Z2 In-VCR2/DVR 43717 Z2 Volume + 10181 Z2 Volume - 11205 down 14789 left / - 41925 right / + 40901 up 13765

Wow! You do all this for free? Amazing. Now I'm going to feel really dumb saying that: today, I was looking for something and the thought came to look in the box I had two of my speakers in. Lo and behold, there were the remotes, crammed in there. I had been looking for months, and always figured they were in the boxes I put all the cables, interconnects, etc. in. I had looked in every box countless times, but figured the speaker boxes were nothing but speakers. :oŠ Anyway, I got them now, but I will continue to program the Nova to use as a universal, so please don't feel that your efforts were in vain. I always wanted to get a universal anyway, now I don't have to go out and buy one. As for your questions, the Nova does have a 6 pin harness in the battery compartment and the 983 remote signature is 33642. Just curious though, now that I have the original remotes, is there a way I can have the Nova 'learn' them, without having to input the codes? Thanks for all your help.

I don't expect that the Nova has learning capability, but if it does, you should get a 2 blink response to the 975 command. If you're really going to try to enter many of the Yamaha codes, consider buying a USB to TTL interface cable--like one of the ones mentioned in this thread. Then you can manage everything by computer. Thanks for checking the signature. That tells us that the Nova is a JP1.4 remote, and it will communicate with cables intended for JP1.2/1.3 remotes.

Thanks again for your replies and very glad that I not only found my remotes, but for having the ability to program the Nova. Thanks.
