How can you copy the codes if you do not have the original remote

They give you a list of the control codes protocol numbers by maker.
Thousands of them. You enter the correct four digit code via the
handset, and it should then work. Assuming they have the correct 4
digit code, of course. Which I doubt they'd have for a Linn. ;-)


**No, that is not how the Logitech systems works at all. You programme
the remote via a USB cable connected to your computer. You go on-line
and tell the Logitech people what you have (brand, model number, etc)
and it feeds the codes direct to your remote.

So you have to let someone else run software on your machine? Or do they
'simply' let you fetch an executable you have to run blind?

Or do they provide a data file and a simple explanation of how to get it
into the remote by some standard method like telnet, ftp, etc?

That raises all kinds of questions like:

How do you know the execution doesn't introduce some form of malware, etc,
into the host machine you use?

Does it require you to have bought and use a closed-source OS from an
foreign (i.e. non-UK, non-EU) company beyond the jurisdiction of your local
law?

**I missed your smiley. You are kidding, right?

It's a remote control.
You download the codes to allow the remote to function with specific
appliances.
