PUC mapping undocumented

My Beovision 7 / Beo6 was just set up with PUC for the new PVR STB, a Strong SRT 8965. The simplest functions work intuitively. Some functions reveal their existence after a little guesswork, like EXIT by maintaining the BACK button pressed. Other functions remain a mystery, like the LIB button to manage recordings and EXTRA button to enter internet, on the Strong's original remote control.

My question is: Are the PUC mappings documented somewhere? In particular, it would be nice to nice to know my own Strong SRT 8965.

 

Yes they are - every dealer is supposed to hand out the info (of the PUC installed).

Normally the functions are show at the left screen side when pressing 'Menu'.

Do not expect that every function of the original remote can be made via the Beo4.

I don't know if exactly your Strong model is listed (and installed).

Often the codes from a slightly different model can be used - with slightly different functions avaiable.

The following Strong mapping may be of help

As always, a perfect service from Keith.

I wonder why these are not available for download.... it is a shame...we are in 2014....

Thank you, this is what I hoped for. Now, my remote control is Beo6, not Beo4, but I suppose the dealer will be able to document the functionality. Would be nice to be able to just download it, though.

 

Where can I find the same information on a Scientific Atlantic Explorer 8000 HD for my Avant? Will a dealer have this information? Likewise, how can I find out what the settings are for the projector type? I just have number designations without any brand or model numbers.

Please find the Scientific Atlantic Explorer 8000 mapping

Thank you very much Keith. This doesn't seem to match the menu on my Avant US, and there aren't any hidden functions or button combinations like I was hoping to find. Maybe it's a difference in the US configuration?

I hadn't realized that there were some "hidden" PUC commands using combinations of the "GO" button. Perhaps the "pause" command for the generic Samsung blu-ray puc that I could never find was once such combination?

Also, have the PUC commands for controlling some non-b&o tvs added a command to change the hdmi input? That would be very useful when switching to a 3D source when using the older BeoSystem 3 that doesn't support 3D. Or do all of the non-b&o tv PUCs only have the on/off command?

That is because your AVANT does not have a PUC, it has STB-C see HERE for more information.

The PUC on newer BeoVisions can be updated by the dealer. The STB-C is a physical chip and can only be upgraded by changing the chip.

I find the whole thing confusing, Keith. I had to get the software updated to 4.9 with a chipset change and then I had to get the firmware changed to 4.7n with BeoZap to update the device list. Or perhaps it was the other way around. Anyway, is there similar information about any hidden commands that can be used for my device? The problem I have is that there are a few key commands missing such as the list command that could allow me to use just the Beo4 and not have to switch between remotes.
