Updates to SKY Codes. see TV & VCR Database
for SKY+ Remote

A
section for TV codes on Sky Remotes+. I found very useful because
it enables the AV amp vol up/vol down/mute functions in place of the same for
the TV set using the Sky Plus remote. With the remote in the TV mode, the left
navigation button operates the AV Amp on/off and the stop button the source
selection. The up/down navigation buttons operate the TV volume and the right
one the TV mute. Sky functionality is unaltered.

Sky+ Remote Setup Info
The Following Information Was First Made Available At The Digitalspy By AlanJ
Sky+ Remote Control Unit – AV Amplifier – Programming Procedure by Direct
Set.
What?
This procedure is used to program or re-program the Sky+ Remote Control Unit
(RCU) to operate the customers AV Amplifier functions.
Why?
This procedure is used when the RCU is not operating some or all of the
customer's AV Amplifier functions. It is possible that either the installer may
not have set the RCU to the correct code or the customer may have changed their
AV Amplifier since the original installation took place. In such circumstances
it will be necessary to re-program the RCU to the correct model of AV Amplifier.
How? TIP!
Before proceeding further place your Sky+ RCU on a flat surface such as the
floor or a coffee table.
1. Turn on the AV amplifier you wish to operate, press the TV button on the
Sky+ RCU (Remote Control Unit).
2. Press and hold down the Select then the 0 (zero) buttons on the Sky+ RCU
until the LED (Light Emitting Diode) blinks twice.
3. Input the 4 digit number from the Sky+ RCU direct set code list pages. The
LED should flash twice to confirm that the code was entered successfully.
4. Use the Left navigation button on the Sky+ RCU to try and switch the AV
Amplifier into standby. If the standby button works then the other AV Amplifier
functions should also work and the correct code has been selected. If all
functions do not work correctly then repeat steps 1 - 3 and work through all the
4 digit numbers from the Sky+ RCU direct set code list pages until you find the
code which supports all or as many of the AV Amplifier functions as possible.
Important
The most popular codes are sorted first within the Sky+ RCU direct set code
list, therefore the codes should be attempted in sequence one after the other.
[note: The remote control will operate all functions on the digibox (whilst
in Sky mode) however it does not support the functions on their AV Amplifier at
the current time. You must therefore keep your AV Amplifier RCU to hand to
control the amplifier functions.
This is not a fault with the remote or the customer’s amplifier. We may have
codes in the future which will enable the Sky+ remote to work with your
amplifier functions.]
*** The manufacturer periodically changes the embedded codes to reflect
current AV amp models thus newer remotes may not control older amps and vice
versa thus deleted codes have been included in the listing. Revision "REV 6"
(under battery cover) was current during summer 2006.

AV Amp Volume/Mute Control Punch Thru
If your Sky+ remote is fairly new or you have the Sky Navigator remote it may
be possible to set the normal volume/mute controls to work your amp rather than
the TV. And without pressing the TV key!
Proceed as follows
1. Program the remote as detailed above to control your amp using the arrow
keys in TV mode.
2. Press TV Key
3. Hold down select and press 1 until the remote's LED flashes twice (if it
only flashes once or remains on steady I'm afraid your remote does not support
this feature).
4. Press Sky key and enjoy.
To reverse the process press select and 2 rather than 1.
Thanks to Digitalspy forum member abailey for discovering this very useful
feature.
The usual disclaimers that go with playing with undocumented featured of
hardware please be careful and you can't blame us or Sky if it stops working -
as far as I know none of this is supported! So technical support at Sky won't be
able to help so don't ask them or we won't get any more good info :) Have fun
and take care.
