Moderators Youthman Posted February 28, 2016 Author Moderators Share Posted February 28, 2016 To be honest the easiest way would be to just Learn the AE8000u commands you want to use from your original remote which is very easy to do. Gotcha. There are only a few buttons on the original remote so it shouldn't be too time consuming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_Guy Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Here is the page on Remote Central that has hex codes for the AE8000u the URC software can get the IR codes using these hex codes, but it is easier if you just learn them from another remote.The URC software's Universal Browser can learn IR codes from hex codes. https://www.remotecentral.com/cgi-bin/codes/panasonic/projector/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_Guy Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Here are my remotes seven main pages I created and also two "Please Wait" pages I created which appear while macros are turning ON or OFF my system. This should give an idea as to some of the amount of customization that is available on the URC MX-890 remote, all of the images were created or modified by me and are unique to my remote.

Moderators Youthman Posted February 29, 2016 Author Moderators Share Posted February 29, 2016 I'm getting the hang of programming. Once you understand the logic, it's pretty straight forward to program. I'm about to work on my Macros for things like "Watch a Movie" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted February 29, 2016 Author Moderators Share Posted February 29, 2016 I'm assuming you create two system notice pages and in your macro for powering on and off, you added the Jump command to go to that particular page, then begin the sequence of commands to power everything up or down?

Rich_Guy Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) I'm assuming you create two system notice pages and in your macro for powering on and off, you added the Jump command to go to that particular page, then begin the sequence of commands to power everything up or down? Yes exactly, then my "Please Wait" page only shows while the macros are turning multiple things ON/OFF and once the macro is complete at the end I have it Jump to another remote page that I want the remote to display.

Rich_Guy Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Looks good Youth, now you are getting the hang of things. Here are a few of my button pages. For these I used URC button images from their Image Gallery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted February 29, 2016 Author Moderators Share Posted February 29, 2016 I"m a slow learner but once I figure it out...I've got it. LOL Certainly appreciate all of the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_Guy Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 BTW my image for my Please Wait pages the Hershey Kiss, if you notice the little ribbon says Petite Sweets which is my business name and I often use this image as a logo.

Moderators Youthman Posted February 29, 2016 Author Moderators Share Posted February 29, 2016 Trinitron, my Harmony One has served me very well. Definitely no complaints. Just wanted to try something different and see how much customization the URC offers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Youthman Posted March 1, 2016 Author Moderators Share Posted March 1, 2016 Ok, I'm having a lot of fun adding the "Details" to really customize my remote graphically to my liking. I created two images for each button. When you select a scene, the image moves down 1px and over 1px to give the appearance that it is being pressed down and I changed the light bulb to yellow.

Moderators Youthman Posted March 25, 2016 Author Moderators Share Posted March 25, 2016 Ok, it's been awhile since I worked on programming the remote but I'm back at it. I went into the HT to test out the programming I have done so far. The vast majority of the programming is working perfectly! I see a few things that I do not have working though. I need some advice on the "Punch Through" so that I can hit the "Off" button on the "Main" page below and have it power everything off. Not sure if I need to make this a macro? When I'm on a "Device" page, I have the Power On and Power Off set to only control that particular device (which is what I want). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is an old thread, but can someone point me to where I can get the URC software for my 890? I need to make a minor change (having my DAC go to Coax instead of AES) but don't have the software. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubs Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Ahh, the remote issue. I have not upgraded to a harmony remote. Believe it or not my LG OLED (E6) magic remote pretty much does it all. Actually it does it all. Controls my denon X6400h receiver, Apple TV 4K, and my TV. I do sometimes use my Apple TV remote, but mainly just my LG remote. I’m not sure I’d benefit from a magic remote at this stage of the game. Only thing it does not do is switch between sound modes on my receiver, but as the Denon has auto source detection rarely need to use it. What are the benefits you mainly see with the harmony remotes? Worth the money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
