Looking for discrete input codes for SONY VPL-HW55ES. THX!

I've got these. I'll need to translate them for you. Should be posted in about 24 hours.

Thank you! Are your codes come from sony protocol manual?

I found there are IR command codes in Sony protocol manual:[Link: files.remotecentral.com]

but I don't know how to converte them into hex code.

I planned on x-learning the codes from another db, but my USB ports have been down most of the week. I didn't know there was a protocol sheet. IRScrutinizer will generate the codes for you.

Based on my post [Link: remotecentral.com] we know this projo uses or responds to the Sony15 Ir protocol. I'll have to fully Injest that protocol link when not on mobile and verify the ir scrutinizer generation from my xlearns.

The linked IR code list from Sony gives the function number, but doesn't mention the device number(s).  Some of the codes are Sony15 and some are Sony20. You'll need to select the appropriate IR protocol in IrScrutinizer depending on whether the command is 15 or 20 bits.   Probably the 15 bit commands are device 84, while the 20 bit commands use device 26, subdevice 42.

*Note: The following codes are untested.  They are cross learned (x-learned) from another db to pronto hex via TS1000.  However, using IRScrutinizer, we can see that the codes fall directly inline with the object numbers from the the existing (and confusing) known Sony protocol sheet listed previously in this thread.  This is a strong indication that these codes are valid and likely work. Any feedback is helpful for the community.

Thank you! All above codes works well.

Awesome. Thanks for posting back.

Actually, ther power on and power off work fine, but I'm having no luck with the HDMI1 and HDMI2. Currenty I am having to use the Input toggle, learned from the Sony remote, but this is less than ideal.

Try this for HDMI 2. This seems to work for my VPL-VW600ES projector. I'm still looking for an HDMI 1 hex code. I have tried so many but no luck so far.

Hello All,

I realize that this is an old thread, but I find myself in a similar situation where no IR database appears to have the IR codes for my Sony VPL-HW45ES. I am using a URC MCS-400 via the URC MX-900 remote.

I will try (and hope that) the above discrete codes will work for my projector's IR IN port. So far, neither URC IR database codes for any VPL-HWxxES or learned codes from the projector remote (toggle power) seem to work. I have also tried using an emitter, without the IR IN, and am having no success.

Should these discrete codes work, I will post back.

I reprogrammed both MSC-400 and MX-900 to use the P-On and P-Off hex codes above. Unfortunately nothing changed, the projector did not power on nor did it power off after manually turning it on.

There is a real possibility the programming was not correct on my end and I will look into that. Can anyone check if the VPL-HW55ES and VPL-HW45ES use the same IR database. The URC IR database does not specifically list these two projectors.

Does anyone have the x-learned discrete codes for the 45ES should they differ.

Thanks!

I would expect it to support the same discrete codes, but there's no guarantee...

Regarding the IR in port, if you can't get ANY commands working, make sure you're using a mono cable (or put a mono adapter on the MSC-400 side). Otherwise, you can try slightly removing the stereo cable from the projector's jack, like by 1/4" or so, if it behaves anything like Sony's fussy TV IR-In jacks.

But, best to try to remove complexity from the equation and use the codes directly on your MX-900 with line-of-sight for now, and then add in the MSC-400/RF/wired IR complications.
