Subject: RE: Ircodes for RS232 On/Off
Here you go and WRITE IT DOWN:
HV4U & HV6U TVs,
With the AVC connected to the TV. Only the TV MAIN Power button is off.
1) Hold down INPUT & VOLUME - buttons on TV
2) Turn on TV by pressing MAIN Power button on tv.
3) Continue to hold in INPUT & VOLUME - until service menu appears (blue font overlay menu)
a) If a "K" is present, quickly press Volume - & Channel - at the same time.
4) Use remote Channel Down button to "StandBy Type 0"
5) Now use VOLUME + to change it to "StandBy Type 1"
6) Turn off the TV using the standby power button on remote or top of tv.
Now the RS232 commands are:
POWR0_ _ _ TV into Standby
POWR1_ _ _ TV On
*Do not attempt this on anything other than HV4 & HV6.

Any word from the engineers yet?
As this may require some interaction, it would be helpful if I could email whoever has the technical expertise to answer this question (to avoid waiting days between each response).
Thanks
Dan

Subject: Re: Ircodes for RS232 On/Off
I tried this, but it didnt solve the problem (see below).
The RS232 already worked, so it must have been enabled.
In any event, trying this enabling command (and the power on and off commands you listed, which are slightly different from those in the manual) didnt seem to change anything.
Let me explain this in greater detail.
I have 2 Sharp 37" LCD TVs -- the LC-37HV4U (about 2 yrs old) and the LC-37D5U (new).
The manuals describe the RS232 setup and commands, and I have them both working (with one exception).
The manuals are virtually identical in this regard, with a few exceptions relating to slight differences between the TVs.
They both, however, only list an OFF command (Standby), and do not list an ON command (to return from Standby).
The OFF/Standby command listed in the manual is "POWR0" followed by 3 spaces.
This works on both TVs.
I guessed that the ON command would be "POWR1" followed by 3 spaces, and this worked fine on the newer TV (5U).
However, I cannot be this ON command to work on the LC-37HV4U (even after trying many other variations, including "POWR0001", "POWR1 "", "POWR1111" and dozens of other combinations of digits, spaces, etc). Yet, all other commands work fine.
So, I need help getting the ON (or return from Standby) command to work on the LC-37HV4U.
It seems unlikely that this command would not work on this TV when all other commands work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Dan

Please save this info that I have sent to CAC in the past.
Please advise whomever that this is given out as a Tip only.
RS232C Power On Solution
1. Connect to PC with RS232. G series power on.
2. Send command "RSPW0001" from PC.
(Enables TV to use ON command)
3. Send command "POWR0000". => TV turn off.
4. Send command "POWR0001". => TV turn on.
And if send "RSPW0000". => Shift to "Default" can not turn on TV with RS232
