9. How to find the codes inside or outside the
database?(Only for professional version)
Normally, distributors or retailers often meet below problems.
You can’t find the device brand or model number in the database.
(2) Only know the device brand, but DON’T know the model number.
(3) Only know DEVICE type (TV, DVD…), DON’T know brand and model number.
(4) Some key codes that you find in the database are lack.
Solution 1:
Please refer to Item 7,”Code Search”.
In order to use “Code Search”, you have to prepare the device which remote codes
have to be looked for.
Place programmer or USB remote toward to the device.
Use the “Code Search” function in software till you find the codes.
After you find one key code can control your device, maybe its key name is different
from the function. Then you can test other keys if they can control the device.
If you use cable mode programmable remote software, you also can see the IR code
protocol and key data. You can edit the key data to test your device.
After you find the code, you can add it into “My database”, then adjust the key
position to correct function. In the meantime, adjust brand name, model name and so
on.
(Note: For IR mode and USB programmable remote software, the reason that we
don’t open the protocol details is that the protocol quantity is too many and many
protocols are too complicated. If you are interested in researching it, please write to
us or login to forum.
Solution 2:
Use one universal remote control to search it, or you can find the code in other brand
of programmable remote.
If you can find one key or some keys which can control your device, then you can
learn these key code into programmable remote software.
Open the code file from “My database” and edit it.
Then program(write) to programmable remote and test it.
Solution 3:
Search the code in website, such as
www.remotecentral.com
,
www.hifi-remote.com
and other website or forum.
If you can find the code in website, you can try to get its protocol, key data.
Solution 4:
Look for the support from the original device company.
