Looking for discrete on/off for Sanyo PLV-Z5 (or PLV-Z4 might work?)

I'm looking for the discrete on/off commands for the Sanyo PLV-Z5 projector. I think the Sanyo PLV-Z4 is nearly the same unit so those commands might work as well.

I think I have the discrete off (somewhere, but I can't find it!), so I'm primarily looking for the discrete on.

Thanks for any help!

I posted the discrete ON and OFF I'm using in the following thread. See post #24.

To make it work reliably, you must change the Z5's standby mode to "Normal". This is explained in the Z5 Service Manual. Email me for information on how to obtain the Z5 Service Manual, or try Googling.

Thanks... I also received your e-mail (and have replied).

I see the codes in that thread but you are saying it's a non-discrete power on so does that mean it's a power toggle?

Also, what does changing the standby mode actually do?

Unless I'm mistaken it seems like you are just learning the power toggle command from the original remote (which is not really the same as a discrete on...)

Yes, the power-on I use is not discrete, but it works fine for me since the projector is always be OFF when I issue the power toggle.

Not sure. I only know that when the projector is in the super-standby mode it does not respond well to IR commands from my Pronto. Apparently the super-standby mode is a power savings mode that puts the projector in a "deep sleep".

yes, you are right. But, this is working great for me. I have one "Master On" button on my Pronto that powers on all my equipment (Z5, DVD player, A/V receiver, etc) when I first sit down. So, the Z5 is always off when I press the Master On button.

If I decide to power off the Z5 and start watching my old TV instead, then I use the Z5 discrete power off command. And later, when I wish to power off all the equipment, I have a "Master Off" button on my Pronto that powers off all the equipment, including the Z5. This is when the Z5 discrete Off is important, since my Z5 may already be turned off.

So, having the discrete On is not a necessity for me, I only need the discrete Off.
