Well, I did some more searching and found that the Z2 uses the NEC1 protocol, device 51 so I gave that a try and it worked on my Z5. I found a lot of discrete codes, including the inputs I was looking for. There are also a bunch that are a bit scary - many brought up various service menus, one did a factory reset, and one actually did some sort of eeprom initialization (yikes!). Luckily I hit that one right after doing a factory reset so it didn't seem to save any bad settings. Just goes to show that playing around with these things can be dangerous (I knew full well the risks before starting).

Anyway, I stopped testing codes once I got into the 180s because one after another kept opening some sort of service menu so I didn't want to take any more chances. I had already found the codes I was looking for so I figured it was best to stop.

Here's the list of what I found for others who might be interested. Note that I skipped over 160-162 because I figured those are almost definitely the discrete power codes, just like the Z2:

160 - power on
161 - compulsory power off
162 - power off

I didn't want to test those because I don't really need them and I don't like cycling the power on my projector unnecessarily because of the stress on the lamp. Here's the list of codes I did find before stopping at 182:
