I have a Myryad cd player that I need to have a remote programmed for. I got the codes for the player from a tech at Myryad and I do not get these at all.

Hey, Jamie. Sorry that I'm confused, but with what would you like help? At least for me, I need some more details on what you're trying to do (i.e. put the codes into a universal remote?).

Thanks.

Sorry I should have mentioned I am looking for a remote that works with British products built in the late nineties. I guess I am finally going to buy a universal remote. But my question is which one is the best rated and ease of use would be a plus....

Ease of use is a tricky one.....For most that would follow the actual setup, meaning the better the setup the easier to use(macros, and soft button). Are you looking for line sight component control or RF capable? How many devices? Computer programmed or hand?

I personally prefer URC . I have setup both their consumer and pro lines and find them to be very good. Ive played around with Harmony, and while it works well with some, being tweek head its not for me. Outside of these and pronto, imo things get more complex ie, AMX, Crestron, UMI, and RTI. Remote Centeral is a good place to start.

Any of the entry level URC and Harmony remotes can "learn" commands from another remote. The higher end URCs and all of the Harmony remote have a web programming database.

I'm also guessing, that if you were 'given' the remote codes, you were simply passed on the hex value for the remote code, not the full hex information necessary to put into a remote. I've never quite figured out how to get this code to work with anything that I've used and have always looked for the full Pronto style hex code which is far easier to get into the remotes that I typically work with.

Many companies simply are way to proprietary with their codes and setup and don't properly get them out to the most popular websites for people to use freely. This is generally why I recommend against products of this nature. How good is the product really when the manufacturer can't get you the proper codes, doesn't get the codes to reputable websites or universal remote manufacturers, and doesn't ship the product with a remote?

I would call Myriad up and have them ship one of their remotes to both Harmony and Universal Remote Control so the remotes can be learned and put into their respective databases.
