does anyone know of descrete codes for a Akai plasma TV model PDP4294? Mine is branded ESA but it looks like an Akai in desquise

Check out post #21 on the second page of this thread by cosmok:

Mickey, you didn't mention what universal remote you wanted to use those discrete codes with.

The list Jon linked to above has EFC numbers that are only useful for One For All brand and similar remotes.

It also lists OBC numbers, which are useful for any remote for which you have software to generate clean signals by function number.

It may not be obvious to a beginner reading that thread that Jon's earlier post at

provides a CCF file with all the commands by OBC number. So if you have any remote that can use CCF files you can use the OBC numbers from the CosmoK's post to find the signals within the CCF from Jon's post.

I am using the pronto NEO. I have the spreadsheet to convert pronto to neo and the make hex program but that is the limit of my knowledge. I found the descrete on and off codes but need the ones for aspect ratios and inputs(component 1 & 2, DVI and composit). I have found a work around for the inputs, but it's not that smooth. Somethimes it works and sometimes it won't.

Mickey, do you need the commands in classic Pronto hex? The OBC (aka Function) is in that list and the Protocol/device is NECx2:7.7. Do you have the latest version of MakeHex with that IRP file?
