Making Remote control universal

Hi
Am having Onkyo SR 505 and recently got the Pioneer DV 600V DVD player. I am wondering how do I transfer control of DVD remote to the remote control of Onkyo receiver ? I read the instructions and they provide a code for Onkyo DVD players but not for others.
I will probably extend it to my setup box for Cable, but I hardly watch TV nowadays.

Thanks and regards
Ashok

setup: Onkyo SR 505, Elac FS 58, Pioneer DV 600V.

Sounds like you may need a 3rd party "learning" universal remote instead. Sony, Logitech, Philips and Cambridge Audio offer such devices. The Logitech 625 (not 525 popular in India!), 885 and 1,000 are possibly the better options having PC connectivity to download updated databases from the web as well as macro functions.

You can use the Onkyo receiver remote (I think urs is universal)They have code for most of the things you can think of in user manual

I am having a logitech universal remote control, which is very good.

I have done several programmes on it.

If i click projector lift, the lift comes down from the ceiling, than after 10 seconds all the lights close in slow motion, it takes 30 seconds for the lights to close, than after 10 seconds, the foot light and rope light is on.

If i click play movie, it will on the projector, dvd player and av receiver, and it will bring the screen down from the ceiling.

If i click interval, it will stop the above equipments, put the lights on in slow motion, and than play some instrumental music.

If i click interval end, it will do the reverse of above.

If i click movie end, it will close all the systems, and put the lights on in slow motion, and shall play some music.

If i click theatre exit, close everything, and i can move out of the mini theatre.

Ashok,

All you need is to know the code of your particular DVP. Once you know the same feed it manually. The best place to find the same is product support site. Or if you are not feeling very lazy just hit google. With a bit of luck on your side you'd be able to fish it out pretty soon. And then...

This page says your Onkyo has a Pre-Pro/Learning Remote, whicg is a good news!

Vinay, that is interesting. May I ask which model of Logitech Harmony you are using? Is it 880 or 1000? I thought Logitech remotes could not send X10 commands to lights, etc. Are you using a central X10 transceiver module?

How is the Elac sound in a long term? I demoed it and found it was pretty tight. How are you finding them.

Dear Vinay,

I have gone through your home theator setup, I really appreciate your passion for HT setup.The hardwork & patience (off course money also) which have been given has created a masterpiece. hats off to you. Thanks for sharing, master piece of your creation.

Dear Ashok,

Actually the remote included with 505 is non learning remote it may be able to control only those components which have been listed in the manual. you will not be able to teach commands for other non onkyo components. I am also using onkyo setup fortunately the remote which was included with my 603 was learning remote, now the same is icluded 703 onward receivers. I controlling all my setup cambridge CD palyer, NAD Amp, Tata sky, My windows media centre HT PC, DD dish and of course onkyo DVD 501 along with Onkyo tape deck.
Pl. consult your receiver manual for controlling componets and if you donot have manual download it from Onkyo.com site.
