Philips 7000 and Kenwood A/V receiver

[TTT]

My Philips is not giving me the right remote codes for my Kenwood A/V receiver is there a software fix for this or am I SOL ?
Thanks

If the remote code for your reciever does not exist on the list you have then one doesent exist for it and youre screwed.

You can try other remote codes and see if you can get lucky and ones compatable.

If you run out of options or have some free time, you can build your own IR codes.

The aussies have some great docs on this - they've had to do much from scratch given their equipment tends to differ greatly from that available on TiVo's home turf.

From what I gather (I haven't had to actually try this yet) here's the sequence of events:

- capture the codes from your target system's remote (ie Kenwood)
you'll need the volume and mute buttons; maybe power.
capturing is done with either an app (for TiVo based capture) or with a Pronto learning remote

- convert the codes into a format the TiVo can use

- figure out where you want this new "component" to show up in the TiVo component list

- build an IR slice and compile it into binary form (writeguide/readguide apps)

- dbload it on your unit

- the TiVo will then beam the codes to the remote for use; I believe this happens each time a key is pressed that requires a component code. [please note this is speculation based on what I've read; I haven't confirmed this yet.]

- Voila! Your very own Kenwood codes

It looks like a labourious process, but when you have no other options it can be very rewarding.

Or if your made of money, there are learning remotes that will save any IR pattern and you can map that pattern to any button you want. I have a Sony learning remote that was 90 bucks after rebates ( I hate more than one remote ) and I controle my Kenwood A/V, 2 Xboxes ( same codes duh ), PS2, TV, PC, and now a Tivo. I have all of this stuff in one room. Before anybody ask I hooked up an IR reciever to my PC so I could close windows when I am across the room. I hate when people IM me when I am watching a move.

I guess I'll just get one of those remotes !

Thanks for all the suggestions

The learning remote is your best bet.
I dont think you can reprogram the tivo remote unless im missing something from that site.

I dont think so. I could be wrong here but i dont think the tivo has any communication with the remote. Its a 1 way thing, ir from the remote to the tivo. I think your confused.
