Hello people,

My LG HX-952 Blu-Ray Home Theater set is great, but the only negative thing about it, is the menu to control the input. For example: to go from HDMI1 to HDMI2, you have to press 'Home' and from there you have to step to the various imputs like AUX, USB, FM, HDMI1, HDMI2 etc. That takes a lot of time, and more important: I can't get my Logitec Hamony programmed well with all these steps and pauses. The sublime support-techies from Logitec couldn't get it to work neighter.

Searching the internet for these discrete codes didn't result so far, so that's why I'm calling for help. Maybe important: the remote controller is the AKB73616209.

Thanks in advance,
Sander

This unit is a little tougher for a lot reasons. Being a combo device, it is already a challenge for integration and control, unless it a manufacture like Sony who is really good at generally always giving you discretes.

The other major problem is that I was starting without an OEM, and I do not have the same model number unit as you. I was working with an LG LHB335.

1. I loaded up a Harmony with codes for the HX-952 and fired them at my LHB335 to confirm they were using the code set. -confirmed-

2. Then I did some x-learning of about half the codes into my pronto to get their hex and learn more about them. This is where things get more complicated.

3. Using IRScrutinizer to help ID the codes, we find that Protocol=NECx and d=44/sd=44 AND d=45/sd=45. Fun stuff. Now I have over 500 codes to fire at this unit because it accepts codes from two different device sets.

4. Using MakeHex, I generate the 255 codes for d=44/sd=44. IRPanels makes it a pronto file, and prontoedit to dump it in.

5. Fire codes and notate the response.

6. Using MakeHex, I generate the 255 codes for d=44/sd=44. IRPanels and ProntoEdit gets it into the remote.

7. Fire codes and notate.

8. 1.5 hours later we have some codes!

I see you were already using a harmony. The harmony db gave us the optical discrete. Well, it is discriete in the sense that it goes to optical 1/ optical 2. Not very useful, though it gives us an anchor.

For discrete power, play turned this unit on, and play, several seconds pause, power would power it off. However, I was able to find discrete power.

open/close followed by open/close will anchor you to the DVD input, but this unit needs to kick the tray all the way out before it sends it back in. Not a great solution there.

I was able to find discrete power and discrete input for Ipod. You could use ipod as an anchor point, then use the next input command to get to the input you need. This is the only work around for this unit.

However, you are using a Harmony. If you had a true custom remote, you could likely write these macros steps easily for each input. Truth be told, I don't know how to do it with a Harmony. I'd be happy to post the codes I have for you, but I don't know how to get Hex into a Harmony, and I don't know how to write custom Macros for a Harmony.
