The Harmony recognizes the Squeezebox codes (yeah, surprised me too). Just choose the digital music option on the website, and the model would be squeezebox. -- John L.

Re: [slim] Harmony 688 Squeezebox
I know how to set it up to work with the squeezebox's default remote...no problem, but that remote lacks certain specific buttons, like stop ff, and rew. By using a JVC DVD remote, you can get specific buttons for specific functions, so now I'm trying to setup my remote for a Squeezebox using the JVC DVD codes (for more functionality). That's the tricky part. (I can add a JVC DVD player device, but I want to add a squeezebox device, and tell it to use the alternate remote codes) Also...can someone tell me how to go about possibly making up a new IR file for another remote? or are we somehow limited to JVC DVD or the original remote. (I'm actually surprised the same crappy remote is shipping with SB2) Danny Rego - Original Message - From: Stewart Loving-Gibbard [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Slim Devices Discussion discuss@lists.slimdevices.com Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2005 11:35 PM Subject: Re: [slim] Harmony 688 Squeezebox Danny Rego wrote: Anyone out there have the Harmony 688 remote, and have it programmed to use the JVC remote codes?

I had to teach the Harmony nearly all the functions of the Slim Devices remote -- a few worked with their online defaults, but most did not. Try to dig through their somewhat awkward but in the end powerful web interface until you find the part about teaching the remote. If you don't figure it out in 3 minutes or less, call Harmony's technical support. They answer right away, are open til 10PM, and seem to be a bunch of bright and friendly Canadians. I called them twice in the space of a few hours, and they were great -- it was a pleasure to be dumb for a change.

Re: [slim] Harmony 688 Squeezebox
The JVC DVD remote would have more specialized buttons (like STOP, PAUSE, FF, REW, TRACK+, TRACK-each with their own button...not to mention things like BRIGHTNESS+, BRIGHTNESS- etc...).

Read your other email. I'm almost certain the easiest way is to add another DVD player (JVC), and attach it to the Digital Music button (renaming the device in the process). -- John L.
