Comcast remote codes for H/K receiver?

[NY Yankees 23 2]

I have searched everywhere for a Comcast HDMI Cable STB (RNG110) remote code to control my Harman Kardon AVR 254. I found a thread in AVS Forums about this but the problem is that this cable box uses a 5 digit code and not a 4 digit code. Anybody have any info for me or can point me in the right direction?

Here are 2 pics of my cable box and the remote. This remote is a dark gray. The other ones i had in the past were silver. This is the first time i seen this dark gray. Guess they come with this new HDMI box.

I have the same remote. The manual lists 30110 and 30189 for H/K receivers. I used one of those (don't remember which one) and it works for power and volume, which is all I use it for.

Buy a Harmony logitech remote and never look back. They are far better then any other universal remote.

I forgot to add that the code (probably 30110) I used works to turn the receiver on, but not off. I did find this in the AVS forum via yahoo search under "Need remote code - Comcast DVR remote / Harman Kardon". They say the older remotes use only 4 digits (in that case drop the leading 3, so 0110). But the new remote uses 5 digits, so 30110. Then do this:

"To add Power Off to Shift-Power button (accessed by pressing and release SETUP and then pressing POWER)
1. Press and release AUX
2. Press and hold SETUP until the remote blinks twice
3. Type 994
4. Press and release SETUP
5. Type 00002
6. Press and release SETUP
7. Press and release POWER
The remote should blink twice to confirm
Now, POWER will turn on and pressing SETUP, releasing and then POWER will turn off the receiver. If you don't want to put the power off on shifted key, pick another key and leave out step 6 and press the key you want for step 7.

To use AUX for volume control in all modes
1. Press and hold SETUP until the remote blinks twice
2. Type 993
3. Press and release AUX
Now the receiver should control the volume in TV and CABLE mode.

To set the AUX channel to use CABLE channel keys, you can use the Keymove function to add functions from CABLE to AUX keys (this is not documented in the instruction for the remote).
1. Press and hold SETUP until the remote blinks twice
2. Type 994
3. Press and release CABLE
4. Press and release CH+
5. Press and release AUX
6. Press and release CH+

Do the same for CH-. You may not want to do this, however. This will remove the Tuner+ and Tuner- function on your receiver, since you are overlaying the new function from the CABLE on to those keys. You will be in TV or CABLE mode when you are watching TV and it will still control the volume from the receiver (from the Volume Lock steps above), which is probably all you need from the receiver. If you don't do this procedure, you can still go to AUX mode to control the receiver and have the Tuner+ and Tuner- functions.

BTW, in case you haven't found it, the number keys in AUX mode will control the receivers input selections. There are a couple of other basic functions you can add to the AUX mode by using a similar procedure as adding the power off function if you are interested (I would need to give you the code to enter), but most other functions for the receiver can't be added to that remote without using slightly more complicated means."

I just tried the power off and volume codes, I didn't mess with the channels. It now turns the receiver off but not via the All On button, which turns it on no problem. You have to press Aux-->Setup-->Power. The volume now works in all modes though, and I don't need my H/K remote to turn it off anymore.

Or you could buy the Harmony...I think I'll keep using this and save the $$$.
