hoe did you go about getting the upgrade.
did you call samsung or return the tv ?

I am curiuos

I called Samsung technical support (1-800-726-7864) and opened a case file back in November '04. After several calls between November and March, I was finally able to get some action when I forwarded on a post from this forum saying that the issue was resolved with the 1035 firmware/board.

Anybody had this problem before: Discrete POWER OFF worked for the new HLP4674W but the discrete POWER ON did not. It did not work with the proven HLN codes either, which appear to be exactly the same.

So for those of you that are using MakeHEX to create your discretes... what device code are you using? I've seen both 0060 and 0812 as possibilities with these sets, but I wasn't sure if either was more or less correct with a given firmware.

Also, once you have the HEX file created... is there a quick way to import it into a pronto and have it just create numbered buttons so you can test to see what each one does?

Thanks,
Jeff

I have never seen any other device code used for any Samsung TV (or any commands posted here) other than NECx2:7 sometimes expressed as NECx2:7.7.
That is NECx2 protocol, device=7 (and the sub device is also 7) but subdevice=device in the NECx2 protocol. That is probably the only thing that hasn't varied :-)

The problems seem to be:

1. Different models respond to different function numbers (all use NECx2:7.7), for the same commands.
2. Because of firmware problems certain displays don't respond to the commands that they are supposed to even though they are described in documents published by Samsung.
3. Not all models respond to commands that other models respond to and probably were never intended to be.

John,

Thanks for the reply... here's the deal. I have a person I have been working with at Samsung Level 2 Tech Support and he has recently sent me the following list that he says he has verified for a firmware 1031 HLP-5685 like I own. I know that in speaking with him on the phone, he said to use 0060 as the device code. He is programming a Pronto TSU6000 there to handle all of this and I believe he plans to make that available to all who request it. That being said, I also believe what you are saying about the device code only being 7. I have not had a chance to check out any of the codes listed... but hope to sometime this weekend. I'll let you know what I find out.

Here is the text of the message he sent me.. perhaps you can translate what he posted here into a confirmation or denial about the device code being 7?

>>>>>>
I just completed testing the codes for that version. Below are 2 examples of cleaned up captured codes. The terminal code has changed and the one below works fine. These were tested with the Pronto TSU6000 on the HL-P5085WX/XAA with firmware 1031. On the attached spreadsheet, the codes in color are not available on the standard BP59-00048C remote.

UPDATE!!!

All right... time to do the "Woo hoo!!!!" dance! Just re-ran all the discrete code shenanigans and now I have working discretes for everything that is supported on my HLP5685 v1031. I will be constructiing a utilitarian CCF file (Pronto 1st gen) and MXF (MX-700) file to hold these codes. I will upload them to Remote Central when I do. According to a fellow AVS'er, Samsung now has an updated Excel spreadsheet with not only a HEX code generation tool within, but also updated code numbers for each of the function. Of particular note with MY set and MY firmware was the fact that the code numbers used for DVI, S-Vid 2 and Vid2 were all incorrect. For those of you that already have this spreadsheet, the updates are as follows:

Latest spreadsheet


Updated TESTED on my HLP5685 v1031:
DVI = 138
S-Vid2 = 237
Vid2 = 235

I'll ping everyone once I get the CCF and MXF files created and uploaded.

Regs,
Jeff

PS - MANY MANY MANY thanks to John Fine for his help in smacking some common sense in to me with regards to using the right IRP file with MakeHEX. Also thanks to the creators of IRPanels who saved me ALOT of work.

I have the HLP-5674, and I can't find a working discrete code that works for the closed caption button (which is buried deep in the menus and is not on the original remote - dumb!), plus the AV2, AV3 and SVideo2, and PIP Move discretes don't do anything. Does anyone have working discretes for the Harmony 676 remote for these funtions? If so, could you please post the pronto codes or (better yet), update the remotes on the Harmony web site?

I use DVI3 and HDMI1, which work fine for DVI and HDMI, in case people are still having trouble with those. Power Toggle also works fine.

I have tried every model/version on my Harmony remote (HLP-5674 and HLP-4674), but none work for those discretes.

Just an update... I have uploaded both the Pronto CCF and MX-700 MXD device configuration files to the files section here. Again, these are specific to the HLP-5685 with version 1031 firmware. It is my GUESS that anyone with the 1031 firmware will probably be able to use these files as is, regardless of which HLP model you own... but that is only my GUESS.

Enjoy,
Jeff

Thanks so much for one of the few complete answers found on these forums. Sometimes I think those with the knowledge have completely forgotten who they are talking to (mostly neophytes like me who desire to know but are struggling to find credible info). Anyway, I didn't quite follow your explanation about the MakeHex. Below your response you listed a complete set of IR codes that corresponds to ProntoDave's list of required Samsung codes.

Are you saying that those were generated by taking the MakeHex program and running ProntoDaves original numbers through it? If so, can I simply take the numbers you list

0000 006D 0000 0022 00AC 00AC 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0689

for example (which is for Device code 7, 027 Auto Wide RF1(TV), and cut and paste them directly into the IR Code text box on the Add IR Code dialog box (in ProtoEditNG)?

If not, what exactly do I have to do to get these to work?

Lastly, do you have any idea if these will work with the HLN series DLP monitors from Samsung?

Thanks much. And again, thanks!!!

How to load your 4200a codes into Harmony:

Obtain the long hex code table, such as:
0000 006D 0000 0022 00AC 00AC 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0689

Click on Support at the top of the harmony page.
TOOLS: IR Analysis Center.
Select Manual.
Under Data Type, it should say Pronto.

Paste the long hex code table into the Data Value box and click Process.
It should say "Converted from Pronto format successfully!"
Click next.
Click Select an active Device link.
Select your HD tuner from the list.
Name the command and click next.

It should say Command added successfully!

Then you can add those buttons to your device.

This is the only procedure that I have been successful in using.

I have no idea how to use the other options in the IR Analysis Center, nor how to use other formats, like the short hex codes such as F708 D02F or the original 2-3 digit decimal numbers. Does anyone else know how to use these codes, or an easy procedure for using makehex, which I haven't tried? What format does makehex use? It's rather confusing.

I am still missing the Closed Caption and AV-2 discretes for the HLP-5674w TV. Thanks to this forum, I got the rest to work!

Hi All

I've posted this questions soooo many times on Remote Central...but no one responds.

Can anyone help me?

I need the discrete codes for the VERY popular Samsung LCD's....specifically, th LTP-1795W LCD TV.

Can anyone help?

I have scanned the site...but no matches!

TIA

Dwayne

These numbers need a translation before they can
be used with the OFA remote. If you want them
for the OFA remote, I'll explain that translation.

Someone asked by email, so to translate for OFA the two digit hex codes from this thread (such as those listed in post 54 [Link: remotecentral.com] )

Get the ir.exe program from
[Link: hifi-remote.com]

Start ir.exe and select the EFC calculator from the Tools menu.

1) Type the hex code into the "Hex command" field.
2) Read the value that appears in the "MSB" field.
3) Retype that value into the "LSB Comp" field.
4) The EFC for use in most OFA remotes appears in the "EFC" field. These EFC's must be three digits, so add leading zeroes if needed.

For example, "SVideo 2" from post 54 was ED. ED in Hex Command produces 237 in MSB, then 237 in LSB Comp produces 80 in EFC, so the right EFC is 080

Also remember that EFC numbers are only meaningful in the context of a specific setup codes. Depending on your OFA model, it may be one of these setup codes (all of which are TV type): 0060, 0427, 0618, 0644, 0702, 0812 or 1060

There are actually two different protocols among those six setup codes. The two differ only in the way the signal duration is generated for longer keypresses, so for many signals that difference doesn't matter. Most of the Pronto Hex in this thread is based on the assumption that the correct one of those two is the one in setup codes 0618, 0702 and 0812. I don't know which is really right (or whether it depends on Samsung model). But the one represented by all that working Pronto Hex is the better guess.

I was the one who emailed you. :) I actually managed to figure out what was going on through a little more research piecing together info from a few web pages.

My method: Take 2 digit hex code. Use the calculator app (WinXP) in scientific mode to convert to decimal. Cross reference this number (OBC?) @ [Link: hifi-remote.com] to find the 3 digit number (EFC?) for your OFA remote. I used setup code 0702 since 0060 requires me to keep pressing Vol +- to raise or lower instead of holding it down.

My TV if it is of interest to anyone is the HLP4663W and my OFA remote is the URC-6131
