I have a similar problem with a LC-37AD5E model. I've
tried the "POWR1_ _ _" command (with the TV turned on)
and I've got an "OK" from the TV set. It has no effect
though if the TV set is in Standby state. Any help please? Hi Lifer, Did you get anywhere with this, I too have the same issue.

All the AD5 range will respond to power on/off over RS232, but you need to enable it in the hidden service menu, and just to be difficult the procedure for screens 32" and over is different than for the smaller models.
The installer menu is made up of lots and lots of visually meaningless codes - play here at your peril!!
Ask sharp tech support for procedure to enter service mode and change the setting. They may ask you to sign a disclaimer so that if you screw with the wrong settings then they can charge you to put it right.
I do not have the procedure to hand but may be able to get it later from one of the engineers if you have no joy.
We are succesfully controlling 20", 26", 32" and 37" AD5E sets over RS232, so iI know it works

What do you mean you wanted it on the other wall - couldn't you have mentioned this when we prewired? |

sets over RS232, so iI know it works @Nick-ISI, you can be a life(r) saver if you could post here that procedure (service menu) for 37" AD5E. I've tried hard to solve this problem (it's very annoying, because I have a media center PC permanently connected to my tv set) but no success. I have even tried to contact sharp-europe tech department but they just sent me from one department to another with no further answer.. @karlennis, did you found anything in the mean time?! Sorry for no replying, I've just lost any hope regarding this issue so I've stop checking for answers.. Later Edit: One more problem regarding 37AD5E.. I can't make it work with native resolution (1366 x 768 pixels) even if I tried to tweak the video card (I tried both the nVidia and ATI chipsets) to get this custom resolution (or a closer and more standardized one - 1360 x 768). The only acceptable working resolution (when I use HDMI input) is 720p(?) (where the image is quite blurred for text display) and 1024 x 768 when I use the VGA input (which means 3:4 aspect ratio so I have two annoying black side bars). Any help please?

Unfortunately having checked with engineering it seems that we have signed that we will not reproduce or distribute their "confidential" document "in part or in whole", so my hands are tied. Quite why the document is headed 'confidential' I do not know. Press your sharp dealer for your own copy of the letter..... Sorry.....feel like a bit of a teaser now.....

My dealer (in fact, the Sharp rep) it's quite.. obsolete! They have no clue about what I'm talking about.. when I mentioned the "RS232 port" he almost screamed on me "do not touch that thing! that's for service programing only!" :) They didn't heard of controlling the TV set with RS232 codes..

Did you ask him "if thats the case then why is there a fully documented RS232 control protocol in the back of the user manual?" Sounds like your rep needs to up his game......!

For all of you controlling the Sharps via RS-232. How do you handle ramping the volume up or down, if those commands don't exist in the protocol?
|
I'm always right. The only time I was wrong was the time that I thought, that I was wrong.

One of the good facts about Sharp ( and I am no fan of Sharp either ) is that their serial protocols do not seem to change between models. I haven't written any macros for Sharps in a while but if my memory is correct you have to dynamically build the values as opposed to send a command "volume up" or "volume down" Alan

To control the up and down volume you just have to read the current volume (VOLM????) then modify that value as you wish (by choosing your own increasing step). Ex:
VOLM???? > returns 10
VOLM12__ > set the volume to 12

Hey All,
I've read many threads on how to turn on the service menu for other Sharp LCD's (so you can turn the Energy Star setting to OFF....so the RS-232 Power ON will work),
but I can't get to the Service Menu for my LC-42BT10U ?
Can anyone tell me how to get to the Service menu...and in doing so...can I turn the
ES OFF...so I can turn the @##@$@$ LCD ON?
TIA
Dwayne

Great thread. I thought I would post our experience as we have had slightly differing but equally frustrating results with the LC64D62U, LC52D62U, LC42D62U with Crestron. We started with the integrated partner module (Sharp LC-52D64U v1.0)for communication and noticed constant errors being returned from the display. There were a couple of things we noticed. Any polling while the display was off would return:
ERR\x0D
In addition we did have to enable the power on control similar as described above but with some differences. WITH THE DISPLAY ON send the display:
IAVD5 \x0D (3 spaces between the 5 and the \)
and the response was:
OK\x0D
We modified the module to not send any functions or polling to the display while the display was off. This has resolved our error issues almost completely.
