Denon AVR-391 IR Code Request

[Ron L]

I was given a Denon AVR-391 Receiver but no remote controller.  My long term plans for this unit will utilize Tasmota IR control, so don't really need a remote handset other than for the initial IR Receive codes?

Anyone out there have the IR codes for a Denon receiver that I could try on this unit?  My other option is to purchase a new controller on Amz. 

Thanks

Have a look at the Broadlink RM3. There is a fairly active forum which has lots of code lists. I can't remember exactly but might be IRBlaster or something like that.

I was able to get one set of "IR Codes" for the Denon AVR series from Global Cache Control Tower; however, their Hex Codes appear to be different than what Tasmota uses for "raw data", so not sure how to utilize their data with Tasmota.

Not giving up, I did program a spare Dish Remote's  "Aux" button with the Denon code such that I could use the Dish remote for limited controls of the Denon AVR.  I then used one of my spare Wemos D1 with IR Receiver and read the IR codes being sent.

This is just a limited set of IR Codes and the initial value of "Repeat" was 0.  I have to set "Repeat" to 1 in order for my Tasmota IR Send commands to work.

Denon AVR-391 IR Codes (as retrieved from a Dish TV remote)

Power {"Protocol":"DENON","Bits":15,"Data":0x220C,"DataLSB":0x4430,"Repeat":1}

VolumeUp         {"Protocol":"DENON","Bits":15,"Data":0x223C,"DataLSB":0x443C,"Repeat":1}

VolumeDown {"Protocol":"DENON","Bits":15,"Data":0x213C,"DataLSB":0x843C,"Repeat":1}

Mute         {"Protocol":"DENON","Bits":15,"Data":0x203C,"DataLSB":0x043C,"Repeat":1}

ChannelUp {"Protocol":"DENON","Bits":15,"Data":0x1A6C,"DataLSB":0x5836,"Repeat":1}

ChannelDown {"Protocol":"DENON","Bits":15,"Data":0x196C,"DataLSB":0x9836,"Repeat":1}

SAT/CBL {"Protocol":"DENON","Bits":15,"Data":0x204C,"DataLSB":0x0432,"Repeat":1}

DVD {"Protocol":"DENON","Bits":15,"Data":0x231C,"DataLSB":0xC438,"Repeat":1}

Tuner {"Protocol":"DENON","Bits":15,"Data":0x228C,"DataLSB":0x4431,"Repeat":1}

I will most likely spend the $15 and get a replacement IR Remote specifically for the Denon in order to be able to obtain all the codes.

Hi Ron,

Probably of no use, as my Denon Mute code does not match the code you discovered from your Dish remote.

But might be worth a try...

This toggles the Mute on my Denon:

curl -s --data-urlencode 'cmnd=IRsend {"Protocol":"DENON","Bits":15,"Data":0x1b48}' http://my-tas/cm

(using tasmota-ir.bin v8.1.0)

This is all the buttons from my Denon RC-999, which came with my Denon RCD-M35DAB.

Depends on what you want to do with it.

For TV/Video, get a Logitech remote controller. We use them exclusively for everything in the house for probably 15 years. Currently we use everywhere Logitech Harmony 650 models which I bought a box full of few years ago for 50€ each. They last several years of heavy use. They can read the online database and give you almost any code for any device you want (plus can learn codes and be programmed to do multiple things on multiple devices seamlessly).

Using Tasmota is doable but I would not recommend that as the first choice for TV/video. You will most likely have to place your IRblaster directly in front of your Denon and will have slightly (but not alarmingly) slower responses. Wife will be pissed and dust it away often. Then you will use a tablet or a phone to send remote commands which is terrible way to do it unless: you must look at the phone/tablet screen each time and they need to be charged several times daily. Imagine tablet battery dropping dead in the middle of something awfully loud when your phone is ringing.

I use IRblasters (Wemos D1 mini) to enable my SmartHome program to run A/C units, to monitor if some manual IR override was done to A/C units, plus to use Logitech Harmony 650 remote control for shutters and A/C override (just in case it is needed). The same remotes are used to run TVs, amps, RPis for video and live TV...

For the TV/video Tasmota will likely be painful, for just listening to the music may be OK. If the above wife problems do not matter. For listening the music, I actually use my phone and UPnPlay app on it since that is one rare occasion where SmartPhone shines - displaying and selecting music from my server and the volume is quite rarely changed. Music will play for hours without touching anything.

But for watching a TV or video, switching the sound between my amp or TV, I use solely a remote control. Logitech will do everything automatically and all the keys will be at the same spot each time - regardless of the used devices. Or of the used TV or amp or anything else you may have changed. Mine haven't moved for the last 15 years and I changed everything including TV system from analog to digital, and have different systems and devices at several locations. Nobody had to learn anything new to use the remote in last 15 years.
