A missing Remote

[steingra]

I have an MX 500 Remote, and I would like to program it to control the Z 680 speaker system. I bought the speaker system used and didnt get the remote. I was wondering if anyone knows how I could assume its functions and program the MX 500 to talk to the Z680 head unit?

Here is a picture of the missing remote I am talking about, if it matters

Thank you.

If this cant be done, I will just try to purchase a remote for it on ebay.

I don't know how the MX500 works, but you could try remotecentral.com, they have an MX section. I use the same speakers, but with a Harmony...It's in the data base.

I thought there might be a set of IR codes for it, but I have only used the learn mode in my MX500 to program 10 devices (that is, 10 other remote controls are now subsumed by the MX500). So I never tried to use a preprogrammed set of IR codes. Guess its time to learn that now too

I think the MX 500 can probably do it (maybe the codes are already built into MX-500???) but how to get that kind of stuff working in the MX 500 is still a mystery to me. I will go look at remotecentral website and see what I can find out.

So I found a .ccf file for the z-680 on RemoteCentral.com, however I dont know what to do with it

I have only used the learn mode in my MX-500 to learn the 10 devices it controls. And I got all that working jsut fine. But I dont even know if I can use the .ccf file. I dont think the MX-500 can use it directly, but maybe there is a piece of software and/or another cheap remote that I could use it with, and then teach the MX 500????

It seems I remember reading about some piece of software that can read/tweak these ccf file (proto?)
