Do discrete codes exist to switch to Satellite, Video 1, 2, 3, front, Component, Ant A, and Ant B? How about for changing the screen modes for analog broadcasts?

Thanks

Yes. You can do it by setting up direct connections to your video inputs on your remote that came with the TV, (video1 = vcr, video 2= dvd), and then "teach" these to a learning universal. The screen modes will be a toggle switch. If you're watching DirecTV, use the ">>" or fast forward button on the RCA remote as a shortcut. Again, you can teach this to a universal. If I didn't make too much sense, I apologize. If need be, email me and I can send you a ccf.

Thanks...

I guess what you are saying is that I should set up the various devices on the TV remote, and then when I select them they will turn on the particular unit and switch to the right video source? How does it know which video input you have the unit (DVD, VCR, ReplayTV, digital cable box) hooked up to? What if I have a non-learnable device (I assume it won't have the code for ReplayTV, although I can try the Panasonic VCR codes) on an input?

Thanks for your help,

Joe

You have to go into the TV set setup functions. Look in the "Auto Tuning" function. It allows you to associate devices with inputs. (in my case, everything except the TV Tuner is routed through the Stereo Receiver, and then to Ext 1). Then the device selectors at the top of the remote, in addition to setting the remote for the correct device, also send a code to the TV, forcing it to switch to the specified input. You can assign several devices to the same input, which is what I do due to the routing described above.
