Looking for any discrete commands for a Samsung TV or a workaround. I have tried anchoring the sequence with channel or number keys, however, the TV locks out the channel functions in DVD, DTV, and the PC inputs, same story for the PIP, no chance of a "swap" to the antenna input. The TV always comes back on in the same input it was last in, and has no access to input selection through any menus or on-screen controls. We are using a HD Sat on the DTV input, a progressive DVD on the DVD input, and a VCR on Video 1. There are 7 different inputs on the TV including the ANT so constantly toggling is a pain. At this point, the only thing I can think of is a scaler with discretes to take all the inputs to 1080i. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here are the learned and "cleaned up" versions of the Power and TV/Video commands from the original remote. Both versions of the command work perfectly when learned into a TSU6000. Do not have a complete CCF file, haven't had time to generate one yet. We are not using the built-in tuner or speakers only as a monitor. If these commands don't help, I will get a complete CCF file. Thanks very much for the help.
If I "CUT" the last 16 bits of code off and "paste" the last 16 bits of a NEC256a function code from GENIRDB the functions will work. The majority of the functions were ON/OFF toggles of various types (some were instant on, some were instant off, bypassing the TV's "warm-up" period), but I managed to execute every function of the factory remote this way. I went through all 256 commands generated by GENIRDB(I used device code 15 since they all seemed to work the same), but no luck on any discretes. There were some commands that the TV's IR receiver responded to but they didn't execute any functions. I assume these were only partial commands or service commands of some type. I have a call into Samsung engineering, but still no answers. The Samsung Rep wants me to run the whole system in composite video. Ha Ha. Thanks again for any help. Thought I would re-post this thread, I had given up hope, but then someone found the discretes for the Samsung SIRTS-160 and both of those work great.
