I am one step closer i think. I now have an excel file containing the correct IR codes. And I crossed these with another file containg both IR and HEX codes so I can now confirm which codes are for my screen.

This however still does not solve my problem. I am really confused. I changed the carrier in the file to 38000 and even tried a couple of other carrier frequencies but ultimately it didn't help. Any idea to what my problem might be? I can't understand why it is so complicated for this product.

 

If you upload the file in a zip file you have found link and I will have a look at it.

Done. Thank you so much

I have had a look at your Pioneer pronto file you uploaded and I can confirm the following points:-

• The Hex codes produce a NEC protocol
• The second HEX value of 0068 which is equal to 104 decimal is the carrier frequency which comes to 40 Khz (well 39,857 Htz to be exact)

So, assuming these codes you have found are the correct ones for your unit, then you can make the XML file using the Beo5 3rd Party XML Generator setting the Carrier frequency to 40 in the pull down

Hi Keith

Thanks for the welcome.

I have the Lintronic box and it is working quite well.

But the problem with volume up and down is killing me.

I want smooth volume changing and would rather be using the BEO5 itself.

Are there any manual for the XML generator or can i use the Lintronic files as provided in earlier post ?

Do i need to write other Lintronic files to parse the XML generator ?

It would however be great if i could use the decoded Lintronic files as they are.

It is also a quite large databse of ir codes that are present in Lintronic codes...

I tried getting hold of a pronto ccf file, but i just cant se how to use it in XML generator.

Thanks for adwice

Jacob,

As you will see from the Beo5 3rd Party XML Generator help file, the program takes the pulse timings provided by the Lintronic software to produce the RAW IR stream, however no RAW protocol can provide a repeat code required for your smooth volume up/down.

The solution is for the XML file to have the actually used protocol such as RC5 or NEC where a repeat code can be provided. Until the next version of the XML Generator this can only be done by working out the binary code sequence and manually editing the XML file.

You cannot use the Lintronic files with the XML Generator.

Thanks. I am however close to going nuts over this. How been working at it for countless hours now and am beginning to lose my patience.

In the file I uploaded there are both the hex codes and the IR codes(AA1C for example which is on/off toggle). The way I verified that these codes where for my screen is that I have a list of the the IR codes which i know are for my screen and the I matched them with the list I sent you which have both IR codes and the hex codes. Can I assume that this is correct?

Hi Keith

Could I maybe persuade you to make an xml file with a couple of codes(like turn on/off) and then make it like you would suggest. this way I would be able to find out if it is my own fault or there is something else wrong.

What version of Beo5 Configuration Tool are you using ?

You can download a test XML file

Doesn't work... Thanks anyway.

Really annoying. I hope there are some other Pioneer TV owners in here who might be able to resolve this problem

Have you tested the xml file making a new configuration or just modifying an old one?

It happened to me, I just modified an old configuration and the new commands didn't overwrite the older ones.

Try to begin from zero, to see if the xml file works on your TV

Good luck
