I haven't looked at Alan's remote file, but in some cases you can run into tasks that are hard to get down to a single step because of a lack of discrete input codes.

USB-to-serial adapter should do the trick for you. I haven't tried one with my MX-700 yet, but I will have to at some point since the MX-700 is still in use in the bedroom and our old PC (which had a serial port) went away shortly after I made some changes. The next time I change anything in there, I'll need to use a USB-to-serial adapter to update the remote accordingly.


Thanks gonk. Found an adapter on Amazon so problem will be solved (hopefully)
