Remote control codes

[jollygg]

I just recently bought a UMC-200 and have a TiVo that I love the remote to. Emotiva isn't in the list of available codes for controlling volume and mute. Is there another manufacturer that uses the same codes? I'm not seeing an option to manually program the TiVo remote but maybe I'm missing it. Anyone else love the TiVo remote and had some success?

Stumbled across your post looking for the same thing...had my 200 for a while, recently had to send it in for service and swapped in my UMC-1...I had forgotten I had the peanut set up to control it, and can't recall how I did it...thinking it WAS by entering the code for another manufacturer, though...

I do not have the UMC, but I just configured the XMC-1 to work with my "learning" Tivo remote. It took several tries (volume down was the biggest prob).

Tivo remotes lack the Emotiva manufacturer codes in the remote's database, hence there is no entry into a legit Emo code. Since the EDmo 7 digit codes are different from other processors, there is no "substitute" (or look alike) possible.

Bottom line: Buy a Tivo learning remote and invest in the time to properly teach it ...it will eventually work. (try short button presses, versus longer button hold downs for the vol up/down learning).

I have the TiVo slide (the original one not the pro) that has learning abilities. I have found the best results of holding the button down until the TiVo remote responds by blinking its amber light. I also learned the input button to input next for my XMC-1. This way I can switch sources easily.
I was able to get the learning remote to work on both my UMC-200 as well as my XMC-1. This way I can switch sources easily.

For my harmony One learning remote quick button presses work much better.

Instructions from Tivo on how to program the learning remotes:

The TiVo Slide Pro, Glo Premium, and Slide remotes are learning remotes, which means they can learn certain functions from other remote control devices without requiring a device code.

To use the learning function
1.Press and hold the TiVo and Select buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. When the red or amber activity light remains lit, the remote is in "learning mode."
2.On the TiVo remote, press and release the button you want it to learn (TV Power, for example). The activity light will flash once to acknowledge the button press, and then remain lit.
3.Point the remotes directly at each other, no more than 1 inch apart.
4.Press and hold the corresponding button on the TV or A/V receiver remote (Power, for example) until the TiVo remote flashes in response.

5.If learning is successful, the activity light will flash 4 times. Move on to Step 6.


If learning is not successful, the light will blink 10 times very quickly. You will need to repeat steps 1–4 before moving forward.

6.Repeat steps 2–5 until you have trained the TV Power, Mute, Input, Volume Up, and Volume Down functions.


NOTE: In learning mode, Volume Up and Volume Down are separate buttons, so you must train them individually.
7.When you are finished, press the TiVo button to exit learning mode and return the remote to normal operation.
8.In some instances, the learning remote may be unable to learn from another remote. If this happens, click here for additional assistance.

Learning remotes can control power for up to three different devices

Slide Pro remote
To learn power for a second device, follow all of the instructions above, but for Step 2 press the number 0 before pressing TV Power.
To learn power for a third device, follow all of the instructions above, but for Step 2 press the number 1 before pressing TV Power.

All other learning remotes
To learn power for a second device, follow all of the instructions above, but for Step 2 press the number 1 before pressing TV Power.
To learn power for a third device, follow all of the instructions above, but for Step 2 press the number 2 before pressing TV Power.

NOTE: If you use the TiVo remote to control power for more than one device, it is possible that one or more devices may not receive the Power On signal (for example, the TV may power on but the A/V receiver may not). Pressing Power again may turn off one device as the other turns on. If this happens frequently, you may need to turn on power for one device individually, either with its own remote or by pressing the Power button on the device itself.

Anyone able to program their Comcast remote (voice activated model) to work with the UMC-200? The Emo codes suggested by Comcast are not accepted by the remote.
