Are you sure your RC sends IR signals on all keys? I have a RC where
some keys do not do it, some of them which labels where you would not
expect it (SETUP, Showview, P<P)

At least lines like

#########0000080c######### addr 0 data 0x0c (keycode 116)

should appear in the syslog for each key that generates a valid IR
signal if you have set av7110_ir_debug=1.
