I'm puzzled by the reply you got from the Pioneer techo. My PRONTO has learned all the Pioneer codes without problem so I cannot understand his reply. I might be wrong but I would be surprised if different Pioneer products, particularly LD players had different codes. My experience is that all similat products of a manufacturer use the same codes. Panasonic at one time had two sets of codes for their VCRs to allow for use of 2 recorders but all the JVC recoders here use exactly the same codes (which is a real nuisance) and the Sony TVs all use the same codes - that covers a 19" TV and a 32" monitor. I suspect different manufacturers use an allocated set of frequencies and stick to them to avoid conflicts between brands.
