I figured out how to irrecord in raw mode (simple enough, I should have 
RTFM before asking how-to) so I did that and still nothing. I have taken 
a couple of more troubleshooting steps. Since I already had a dtvrc16 IR 
output config in the lircd.conf file, I dug one of my D10-300's out of 
the closet and plugged it in near the IR transmitter... I sent it the 
Menu command "irsend SEND_START dtvrc16 Menu" and nothing happened, so I 
went over to the D10-300 and I held it REALLY close (< 1/4" / 2 cm) to 
the IR transmitter and it picked up the signal... so I have verified 
that transmissions will in fact work. I then send the command to "mute" 
my Denon and still nothing there... I guess it's progress since it works 
fine with one device just not another.

Any ideas?? I'm going to tear the cover off the Denon Receiver and put 
the IR transmitter directly on the Denon's IR receiver so hopefully that 
will yield some better results.
