RS Media – Control via Arduino + IR LED?

Hi all, I am very new to Arduino, so I'm hoping this problem is pretty routine for you guys. I have an RS Media and I'm trying to use the Arduino with an IR LED to send commands to it. I found some of the IR Codes online (see below) but I can't for the life of me find a way to convert these numbers into binary code that the RS Media understands.

Here's the script I'm starting with http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1198260041 Though, he taps directly into the Robosapien via wire. I'm trying to do it through IR. Any help would be appreciated. Even if it's just an explanation on converting these numbers to binary.
