[I sincerely apologize for reposting this, but I think I previously gave a
very unclear subject line]


I have a Kenwood Receiver KR-V6080, with the factory remote RC-R0502.

That remote works fine.

*HOWEVER*, when I use any kind of 3rd party all-in-one or learning remote
everything works except the volume. It just sits still. I've tried 4
remotes, 2 were learning from the working remote!

Does the kenwood listen to multiple frequencies, or sonics or something else
that the standard remotes /don't/ "do" ?

I'm trying to tame an audio-video system that has grown out of control an
inch at a time.

I would ask someone at www.remotecentral.com. If you have already, I
would guess that the code transmitted consists of a preamble and then
data. Some times learning remotes will not take into account the
necessary preamble when learning. If you have a PDA or PDA phone with a
IR port, you can generally figure out what the original transmits.

I have seen your first post, but I don't have an answer to your
question.

Could this problem be related to your earlier pot problems?

No. (note to others, he's referring to the /potentiometer/. He's not
saying that the volume control only seems broken because I have a problem
smoking pot. Perhaps I should start. )

This has been something I've noticed from the begining. And some googling
around shows someone getting a response from one of the remote companies
(damn---I cannot find the post) saying that older remotes were using too
high a frequency.

I do notice that some of the one4all manual .pdf's claim that they'll only
learn from remotes below 100 Mhz. (Khz? I forget.)

ANOTHER quandry: It seems that some remotes require more than one code for
the same one device or they will split functionality and work with only some
of the features! Huh?????

It seems the more I did into this, the more goofy the world seems....

Umm.....now that I look at my post, I realize that I seem to refer to
that.
Well, I'm in Holland, so whwnever you feel like it....... :-)

You could try posting your questions to rec.audio.tech or
sci.electronics.repair .

The world *is* a goofy place.
