1. In the IR Database, you can go down all the models listed by the manufacturer of your piece of equipment, and TEST The codes for each model to see if they work with yours.
That's a great summary Ajax.
With regard to the first step, start by choosing a model number that's closest to yours and take note of the 3-digit code that appears in the "Enter Code Number" box above the model listing. If the codeset you try doesn't work, choose a model number that has a different 3-digit code. This may save you some time going through a long list.
Also, even if your make and model is in the database, if it doesn't have discretes (ie: separate on/off and input commands) for the component your programming, go to the MX-700 and Pronto files mentioned to add discretes that may exist there.
