Hello guys!
I have a Musician Monoceros preamp for which I don't have the remote, unfortunately. By an incredible luck I have managed to get one IR code for POWER_DOWN. Basically, I saw that when my Samsung TV gets a new HDMI input, it sends some IR codes and one of them turns off the preamp. I intercepted that code using a RPI and IR transceiver. Encoding is MCE and by playing a bit with irScrutinizer (D, S, F, T values variations), I managed to find some more codes. However, I did not manage to find VOL_UP code and I am a bit stuck now. Of course, the most important functions are VOL_UP and VOL_DN. I have to say that my knowledge regarding IR transmission is limited.
Here is what I have at the moment: I am hoping that more knowledgeable people can help to find the VOL_UP code.

Decodiong the signals gives:
VOL_DN: MCE Device: 38.126 Function: 84
POWER_OFF: MCE Device: 38.125 Function: 84 T=1
PREV_SOURCE: MCE Device: 38.119 Function: 84
DIM-: MCE Device: 38.119 Function: 84 T=1
Since T is a toggle (every second time a signal with T=0 is sent, the other ones are sent with T=1), it is unlikely that the #3 and #4 really are different commands.
All the signals have D=38 and F=84, with S=126,125,119. So it would make sense to try a few signals with D=38, F=84, and varying S. Just ignore T.

Hi Barf. Thanks for your reply.
After more playing around with the IR transmitter, I have found out that PREV_SOURCE and DIM- only work if they are sent one after another, not as single commands. The VOL_DN and POWER_OFF work as single commands and interact perfectly with the device.
I have tried all the S combinations with D=38, F=84, 256 of them. Unfortunately, nothing more happened than what I already have posted.
Could it be that the device is working on a different IR encoding, but somehow reads MCE encoded signals?
Still did not find volume up command, all thoughts are welcome.

After a few weeks of trying I managed yesterday to crack the volume up button.
The catch was that irScrutinizer was identifying the signal as MCE, when it actually is RC6-6-32. MCE D38 F84 S126 is exactly the same as RC6-6-32 D38 F84 M6 OEM1:128 OEM2:126. S from MCE goes to OEM2 from RC6-6-32. In case of MCE, OEM1 is fixed at 128 and M is fixed at 6.
Basically, what I did to find the volume up code was to play around with OEM1 from RC6-6-32 and voila, volume up is now working.
