OH!! You shouldn't be doing this on your old remote for the same button. You probably can't overwrite the programming on that device button. Either create a new "device" on that remote or just try on your new to you 500. And it sounds as if you missed some steps in checking the 3 digit codes. With the receiver on and pointing the remote at the receiver, enter the 3 digit code and see if the receiver turns off. If it does turn off, press the power button to see if it turns back on. If so, then save and exit. Once exited, try the other buttons under that device.
I definitely tried the 3 digit codes with the receiver on and remote pointed towards the receiver in P-PRO mode with TGIII selected. Is there a different mode to enter codes? Should I be trying a different selection instead like TAPE or DVD or just hitting the power button?
I posted a couple eBay links to what appear to be new/almost new 850's above. The software can be found here on RemoteCentral - again I posted the link above. There is a Live Update function within the software to get new codes in its database but alas it hasn't been updated since around 2011 and now is considered an obsolete and no longer produced remote.
Ok will check out the links and buy Aeros!
