    I did not notice this sentence.

    used by many AV manufacturers and is easily understood. There's a
    datasheet for one of the early NEC encoder chips on my webpage at
    http://davehouston.net/Nec6121.pdf.
    Interesting that no technical manual can be written for a good
    understanding. Thank you anyway.

    Vishay TSOP1100 which works with 33-57kHz carriers. If you also want
    to capture the carrier frequency use a photodiode on another pin and,
    if your oscillator is at least 8MHz, use PBP's COUNT for 1mS during
    the initial IR burst which is usually 2.5mS or longer with almost all
    protocols. The initial burst is about 9mS with the NEC protocol. As it
    happens, I've posted code to send/receive, encode/decode the NEC
    protocol as RF. The only difference for receiving is the polarity -
    the IR receiver is active low where an RF receiver is active high. For
    sending, modify my RF code with Bruce Reynold's IR code which I cited
    earlier. You can even leave it at 40kHz but you'll need to use the NEC
    timing in my code. See

    Let us see.

    While this is written about how ProntoEdit displays IR codes, it gives a good explanation of both one Sony and the NEC protocols.
    http://www.remotecentral.com/features/irdisp1.htm

    This gives brief descriptions of 4 popular protocols. http://www.celadon.com/infrared_prot...ls_samples.pdf

    This is probably the best one as it includes PIC (ASM) code. http://www.sbprojects.com/knowledge/ir/ir.htm
