Programming new remote for B&K AVR507

My original SR10.1 B&K remote stopped working so I purchased a URC MX-700. I purchased this remote knowing that the B&K remote is really just a re-badged MX700. Here's my dilemma; Prior to my original remote breaking we replaced our computer and didn't save our remote configuration so now I have a new remote coming and no way to load it with the B&K specific data to operate the receiver. I still have the original software which came with the receiver. Appreciate any help anyone can provide.

Its a generic brand ordered from cables for less. Mine didn't work right away either. I had to play around with my comm port settings through device manager. The editing software for the remote only goes to comm6 and the driver was installed on comm 10 so I had to go into the comm port numbered 10 and change it to comm 6. You may want to try and play with your comm port settings a bit if you haven't done so already before purchasing another cable.

Thanks for the information. I have checked the comm port setting. That is a common problem. I think my problem is that there is no W7 driver for mine and the XP driver does not work correctly on W7. I will look at the cables for less one. Thanks.

The Cables for less adapter worked great once I downloaded the drivers from the Cables for Less website. The drivers that came with the device are old and the one that W7 loaded did not seem to work. Up and running on W7 now for $19, running on 2 different W7 system. Thanks.
