content: HiI need codes for a Sony remote model RM-DX220, for Sony CDP-CX205 (200 cd changer). I will use these codes in my phone's ir blaster.I cannot find the codes anywhere. The website remotecentral is also down.I found a .pal file from Xantech, which can only be opened by their software Dragon Drop. I downloaded Dragon, but it fails to open.Please help.

content: I don't have the remote. It's a used player and it came without a remote. I want the codes in .lirc or .cf that can be read by irplus in my android phone ( Mi A3).

content: Problem partly solved.The culprit was the command mode switch at the back of the player. It has three positions - 1 2 3. The remote also has a similar switch.For standalone playback the switch should be set to 1 on both player and remote. If the player is connected with another Sony cd player or amp, via command cable, then the switch has to be set accordingly.Mine was set at 2, now I have set it to 1.Now, I got one remote from Rcoid RM-DX740. It's working, but it lacks the power and other buttons.

content: Sony IR protocol does not have redundancy or error correction built in like some others so it depends on repeated signal for validation. For this reason the code must be transmitted two or three times minimum for it to be registered as valid on the RX side. This is probably why you need to press the button twice to get it to work.Also, all Sony CD players use basically the same command set. It you can find the missing codes (power etc) for another model, they will work on yours. I'll add that the players do respond to discrete on/off codes even though the remote doesn't have those buttons.
