Sorry if I do sound stupid, but how do you test this "universal mode"?
- By pressing manually the combination on the apple remote
- Or by programming those combination on a universal remote?

I test it by pressing the combinations manually.

If the latest, then I guess you need a special remote. The way you can program combination on my universal remote is really not straight forward, you have to assign each function to different keys, then you can create "macros" and assign them to special keys...

sounds perfect for universal mode. You want to have all the keys assigned anyway (up, down, right, left, menu, menu_h, play, play_h). Now assign the macros to other keys.

One more question, is the "menu hold" a specific code to learn to the universal remote or it's just a "menu code that last a certain time"?

Thanks :-)

IIRC, the different hold keys (right_h, left_h, play_h, menu_h) are specific IR codes.
