Seeking Discrete Codes for Denon DVD3930

[ronnie 1.8]

On my Denon DVD3930, the function "Pure Direct Select" toggles between normal, mode 1, mode 2, all off. The function "HDMI Format" toggles between auto, 480/576i, 480/576p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p.

Does anyone know if/how I can get my hands on respective hex codes? Denon sent them to me for my AVR3805, for the commands 0.0db, -20dB and -40dB. I then sent the hex codes to Logitech Harmony support, and they added the IR codes into my account. I believe these 3 codes are now available for anyone w/ compatibile Denon AVRs (and a Harmony remote, of course).

I should be able to do the same thing again, but need the codes. Twice I called Denon tech support, got 2 different agents, and neither even knew how to find out if the codes existed.

If Denon does support discrete codes for those functions http://www.remotecentral.com is as good a place as any to find out if anyone knows what they are.

You can always program macros to get around the toggle if you can't find discrete codes.

Thanks. Yeah, I tried that site. Not sure how I would create macros without having a base. In other words, sometimes I come in to watch a DVD-V and my player's "Pure Direct Select" mode is off, or it could be normal. Same with my "HDMI Format". I can come in to watch a movie and find my player in 480/576p or 720p. There is no consistent baseline with either function.

To make it worse, these seem to be the **only** 2 functions on my player that don't respond consistently to my Harmony 880. Sometimes they toggle 1 position, sometimes 2. I have the appropriate setting on my 880 set to "0", so don't believe anything else can be done.

If I had a discrete codes, all would be great!!! Thanks for your help.

Yeah, it wouldn't be possible to use a macro to select one of the states if you cannot reliably start from a known state. I thought maybe you knew of a workaround to get the selection in a starting state.

Turned out to be user-error! I mistakenly used 'raw' when learning these commands (they were not already in the Harmony database). I guess I held the button down too long on the origial remotes, thus causing the 880 to send a double command. After Harmony deleted the problem-causing learned commands, I relearned the commands (non-raw), and the 2 toggles at least now behave as expected. That's a significant improvement.

Also, Website Development and Strategic Support from Denon sent me the following link. This may yield the codes I'm lookng for:

Yeah, I wish I did. The player always turns on in the state in which it was turned off... It never resets to 'normal', for example.
