EMM DCC2 & Learning Remote


Just got my DCC2 yesterday and attempted to transfer the functions of the DCC2 remote to my learning remote. I do this by pointing the remotes toward one another and sending the signal from the DCC2's remote to my learning remote. This has worked with every other remote I have ever owned, but does not seem to work with the DCC2 remote. Is there something different about the way the remote works? Has anyone else tried to get a learning remote to read the signals from the DCC2's remote? If so, which ones? Does anyone know if the remote uses similar codes to say Sony, Philips, etc. as I also have the option of programming my remote using codes from many large electronics manufactures? Thank you for your input!!! I am going to call EMM Labs later today but thought I would ask here first.

P.S. I am running the DCC2 with a $100 DVD player from Best Buy and a $12 coax cable and it sounds amazing....resolution, resolution, resolution!!!!! I am waiting for a friend's modified Philips, as he is purchasing an EMM Transport. I will admit that the sound is a little thin and lacks some body when using the Best Buy DVD player and Coax (Also, I just hooked the DCC2 up for the first time a few hours ago). However, this is what I expected. I have tried great DACS with crappy transports in the past and have never gotten them to sound anywhere near that quality I get from this combo. (I should also note that I am accustom to having an Elrod Statement II on my Transport which adds a lot of body. I cannot use it on the Best Buy unit as its cord is permanently attached.)

Tireguy, I did recieve a remote. Based on a conversation I had, I think (but am not sure) that they will send you your remote with your transport.

Rcr, you will loose the ability to play SACD's using the DCC2's dac. You will be able to use the dac for CD, and then can use your player for everything else by running it throught the DCC2 (thus using the DCC2 as a pre-amp).
Problem solved!!!!! I taught an old radio shack learning remote the codes from the DCC2 remote. I then used the radio shack remote to teach the codes to my Home Theater Master. I have no idea why the Home Theater Master could not learn the codes directly from the DCC2 remote. Oh well.
