In Reply to: Ayre remotes...? posted by damage k on February 9, 2007 at 03:26:21:
There are two common remote control protocols in use -- Philips and NEC. The Philips protocol (also called RC-5) sends a signal that specifies the device (CD player, preamp, etc.) and then the command (play, stop, volume up, etc.). Almost all of the European manufacturers use the Philips protocol, as do most of the US high-end manufacturers. Therefore, a remote handset that uses the Philips protocol will operate any device that also uses the Philips protocol. The only problem you will run into is that Philips was somewhat secretive about the codes and some manufacturers simply made up their own codes that are non-standard.The NEC protocol works differently, as each manufacturer (Sony, Pioneer, etc.) applies to have their own exclusive ID code. NEC assigns this to them, so there are no duplicates. Each ID code has 256 possible commands, which are made up by each manufacturer. Almost all the Japanese companies use NEC protocol. Typically each manufacturer will have their own ID code for each product category (TVs, receivers, DVD players, etc.) So in this case, as Pioneer DVD player remote will usually operate any model of Pioneer DVD player, but nothing else.
As far as programming an aftermarket remote, all of the Ayre gear uses the Philips protocol, except for our DVD and universal players. These are based on a Pioneer manufacturing kit and therefore use the Pioneer DVD player code using the NEC protocol. Programming the remotes depends on the remote you have. The best place to get info on this is at Remote Central (link below).
