Some Audio/Video stuff

This is some miscellaneous A/V information.

Review of the JVC HR-S9500U from the November 1998 issue of Video Magazine.

Univeral remote Magic codes for USA One For All remotes:

Newer remotes use 4-digit device codes. Just add 0 to the front of the codes above (0000 for Sony TV.)

Some notes on how to find Magic codes, and re-programming keys on your OneForAll remote.

Check out the information on the Remotes Home Page on using the JP1 connector, and lists of codes.

Sony KV-30XBR910 (and related 34XBR910, xxHS510, xxHS420 and 34XBR960):
Here is an Excel spreadsheet, originally by NTN1, that lists all of the Service Menu entries with some defined.

If you have a JP1 capable remote, here is a KeymapMaster file using an upgrade code of 1000 (reworking of code 0000). It includes codes for many special functions, like DRC, Video mode, Vid 7, etc..:
Sony1000.TXT

Motorola DCT-5100, 6200, 6208 and 6412 cable boxes:
If you have one of the above cable boxes and a JP1 capable remote, this Keymap Master file upgrade code of 1493 (reworking of code 0476) includes many of the new DVR functions:
Motorola_DCT-6412.txt (this version is set up as Cable, with keymaps for transport controls)
Motorola_DCT-6412B.txt (this version is setup as PVR and uses less macro/keymap memory, but Volume lock will not work and will require keymaps. You still save a few bytes overall)
I've also found my 6412 responds to the following standard keys:
Left-arrow = Rewind
Right-arrow = FastForward
Up-Arrow = Play/Pause
Down-Arrow = Live
Page down = 15 second Replay

Here is a big Excel sheet set up with all the technical details of my cable system. It contains the channels, their frequences, and QAM level. It calculates the standard analog equivalent channel based on the frequency. You can modify it for your system, then sort it different ways to see just how channels are allocated, how many digital channels are squashed together, etc... (updated 4/5/07)
