Another newbie question: Trying to put the ACRYAN PVR!TV remote function into the BEO5

25 replies

Hi all,

I have another question and hope someone can help me out.

I own an ACRyan PVR!TV and I would like to use the BEO5 instead of the supplied remote that came with it. What I want is to directly control the PVR!TV, not through the B&O system.

 

I have been reading through this and several other fora. On this forum, I found an update from Keith, advising to download a trail version of Remote Control II, do I got my old Ipaq 2210 that was collecting dust and put it to use again 😁 .

For starters, I am concentrating on the POWER button, and will work from there on. The Remote Control II software returned this data back from the POWER button on the ACRYAN remote:

0000 006D 0022 0002 0156 00AA 0016 0015 0016 0015 0015 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0015 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0015 0040 0016 003F 0016 003F 0015 0040 0016 003F 0016 0015 0016 0015 0015 0040 0016 003F 0016 003F 0015 0040 0016 0015 0015 0040 0016 0015 0015 0040 0016 0015 0015 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0015 0040 0016 0015 0015 0040 0016 0015 0015 0040 0016 0642

0156 0055 0016 0E46

In addition, it told me the carrier is at 38.0004 kHz.

Now, how to go from here?Is this string the much talked about CCF code string?

 

Thanks, Peter.

 

 

 

 

Peter,

I can confirm that you have correctly captured a valid command.

Your captured command is in Pronto HEX format and decodes as follows:-

  • Carrier Frequency is 38,028.8 Hz
  • It uses 32 bit NEC protocol
  • It has a device code of HEX 00
  • Your "Power" command decodes to HEX 57

I have created an XML file for you to test and use as a template for other commands which you can download

Keith,

 

Thank you so much. I just tested and the button works great on the PVR!TV.  Can you help me further? What has to be my next steps? Do I need to capture all the buttons I want to use?

 

Thanks again for the help. I appreciate it.

 

Peter.

Peter,

Whilst, your TV uses standard 32 bit NEC protocol and uses the default device code for a TV of HEX 00 and there are some standards for commands, its clear your TV does not use these standard because the standard "Power" code is "12" and you have "57"

So, you will need to capture all the codes from your original remote and then convert them to NEC.

Keith,

 

thanks for the answer. One thing though: The device is not a TV, its a device like the Tvix 6500 ( able to play Divx, DVD ,etc.. files) with a recording capability.

 

OK. If I have to capture all the codes, do I need the "long" form like I gave earlier for each button, or can I shotcut ( though I do not see the hex code of 57 ( bitstring 0101 0111 )  in the codes I gave for the POWER button.

 

As a side note, I contacted the vendor about these codes but they never responded . I did find some codes for a simular device from this vendor ( its the HD version of mine without the tuner in it and slightly different functionality )  and these are:

 

Power------ 900A 006D 0000 0001 009F 57A8
Mute-------- 900A 0068 0000 0001 009F 5BA4
INFO-------- 900A 006D 0000 0001 009F 52AD
TV SYS----- 900A 006D 0000 0001 009F 01FE
Browser---- 900A 006D 0000 0001 009F 4AB5
Copy------- 900A 006D 0000 0001 009F 41BE
Music------- 900A 006D 0000 0001 009F 56A9
1------------ 900A 0068 0000 0001 009F 05FA
2------------ 900A 0068 0000 0001 009F 09F6
3------------ 900A 0068 0000 0001 009F 15EA

.......................................................................

Is this of any use ?

 

Thanks, Peter.

 

 

In answer to your questions:-

  1. Your device may not be a TV but it is using the "default" device code for a TV, hence why I said you will need to capture or find the codes for your product and it looks as if you have found them.
  2. Both the long form and the short form are fine, the short form is a decode of the long form. The long form is the actual pulse timings and you will NOT see a HEX code command decode because they are HEX timings.
  3. Where you find a short form, then the first code describes the rest of the string. In the ones you listed they start with "900A" which means its NEC protocol.
  4. If you look at your short form "Power" string the second from the end is device code and the last one is the command. So, for "Power" the last two codes are 009F and 57A8, actually they are not totally correct because the second pair should be the first pair inverted meaning they should be 00FF and 57A9 but many receivers don't check it.

More info:

My device is called the PVR72100. No codes for thatone. But I did find the codes for the PVR73100 in another format like the ones I gave above:

and

http://www.acryan.com/downloads/ACR-PV73100_RC_Codes.txt

If only they would have given them for my unit 😛

Peter,

Based on your research it is clear the company uses the same codes for all the models you have highlighted, so the codes you listed previously are clearly going to work, so you are going to need the rest of the commands in either thr short form below or the long form

Power------ 900A 006D 0000 0001 009F 57A8
Mute-------- 900A 0068 0000 0001 009F 5BA4

Hi Keith,

 

thanks for the clarification. This looks promising. I found ever shorter notation as mentioned before:

Power, 0x57
Mute, 0x5b
Info, 0x52

Browser, 0x4A <-- Not on my remote
Copy, 0x41
Music, 0x56
1, 0x05
2, 0x09
3, 0x15
4, 0x04
5, 0x08
6, 0x14
7, 0x00
8, 0x10
9, 0x0C
0, 0x11
Repeat, 0x58
Goto,  0x0D

ZOOm out, 0x40

Will this do? What do I have to do next? There are some functiones missing that are on my remote but not in the list:

REC

SOURCE

INFO

TIMER

EPG

TTX

Red, Green, Yellow and Blue button for TTX

I never used EPG, TTX , but I did use the others.

How to go further now? I can get the long versions of the missing buttons like I did with the POWER button.

 

Thanks a lot forthe effort and time you put in to help me here,

Peter

Frankly, that is why I suggested you captured them as you did with the "Power"

Whilst it is clear they have defined their own command codes as you have found out, some commands are missing and I am assuming you want them all.
