I've been trying to use the infraout command to control a dvd player. I have successfully used this command to control VCRs but have not been able to do the same with DVDs.
Following some internet research I understand that Sony DVDs use a 20 bit protocol and so cannot be controlled using infraout which can only relay the 12 bit protocol.
p82 of the picaxe manual http://www.rev-ed.co.uk/docs/picaxe_manual2.pdf states that the device code for a dvd is 26 but I believe this has to be accompanied by a sub device code (hence 20 bit rather than 12).
Hopefully I am wrong and hopefully there are in fact a number of Sony DVDs which can be operated by the PIC (I assume somebody did successfully control a dvd player before the manual was written?). If this is so could someone please tell me the specific model numbers which were controlled.
