...continued.

I need learned codes for various type of remotes, except SONY, because for
the 
SONY remotes is now clear for me, with a great help from a list member,
Keith Smith.

Thank you Keith.

  Not really like that. Just try my application . select the right COM
port
  then click on Autodetect.
  It must initialize as IRMan and display a confirmation message. Then
try to
  record some commands.
  IRMan support is implemented for record only, but the reason I ask
for help
  is to try to implement
  a compatible send function for the IRMAn captioned commands.

  More than that. It is the binary representation of the transmitted
code. I
  have checked it for
  Sony and it is 100% correct, even if the rest of the bits (till 48)
are all
  '0's.

  I know... the initialization routine is implemented in my
application
  starting with the version 1.4.x. Just check it.

  Best regards,
