[slinkelist] DSS code misery

[Jon Welfringer]

I've been wasting serious time trying to get distinct ON and OFF codes
for the Sony DSS receivers.  I've tried creating them for IR and SLINK. 
I've got 3 different Sony remotes that actually send a distinct ON
command, but I've been unable to reproduce that code from the Slinke
with my own program or with EZ Learn.  Each of the three remotes produce
the same sequence of 5 commands, but in a slightly different order.

Of the 5 commands produced, I can reproduce and transmit each one except
the DSS Power On command.  Somehow this command must use some additional
type of encoding.  If I replace the 0111010 (Power on) command with
1010100 (Power toggle) command (and the 11101101 suffix), it works every
time.  Unfortunately, I don't need toggle - I need ON!  

The decoding from all 3 remotes is identical.  I've made many changes to
the sampling period, carrier frequency, timeout and minimum signal
length, all to try and see if there is something else in the code that
I'm missing.

I also own a HomeVision home controller unit.  This unit also cannot
learn the complete signal from the remotes.

Has anyone solved this problem?  HELP!!!

Here's what the remotes produce:

SEQUENCE FROM RMTP501 REMOTE (ES50)

010001000001       Amp Video 1 Select
011101011101101    DSS Power On
000111010000       Unknown TV command (probably power on for older
units)
