- You don't have to collect published codes, you can just sit down with the
- VCR Plus+ device and start punching in numbers. But there are 9,999,999
- 7 digit codes (and each one requires 9 button presses to test), so it can
- take a long time to get enough numbers.
-
- What does pushing buttons on the device tell you? Doesn't pushing
- a number like 1952037 cause the device to send some infrared pulses
- at a particular time which is difficult to predict from the number
- alone? Or does the device somehow display what is going to send and
- when it is going to send them?
-
- Note: I don't own a VCR+, or a VCR, or even a TV set so I'm asking
- from curiosity only (I think it's an interesting problem). But
- this should explain why I'm not familiar with using the device.
