I've got a Panasonic CT-32G22V TV. It's an older TV. Probably 6 years old. I received a MX500 for father's day. WHOO!! The MX500 has learned all of the Panny's remote buttons and works great. I've been looking for discretes to:

Power on
Power off
go directly to video 1
go directly to video 2
go directly to TV input

So, to today I picked up a RS 15-2116. I was hoping I could use the advanced codes to perform these tasks. No luck!

So my questions are:

1 - How are advanced codes and discretes different?
2 - Are advanced code just the means to implement discretes?
3 - I've looked at www.hifi-remote.com for the advanced codes. Any other places to check for advanced codes or discretes for this TV? I did search here but no luck.
