Has anyone found the discretes for the Antenna A and Antenna B inputs? I tried the code for last year's 50V500 that toggled between the two antenna inputs but it toggles between all of the inputs on the 50VS810. The discretes for the other inputs work fine.

Thanks!
David

Hi David,

Have you tried the old work around using a macro to the last video discrete command as an anchor and then "n" AV toggles to the desired input. With an extender the switching is pretty fast (as you well know) and the last time I experimented with that technique (although a Toshiba) it was almost as good as the real thing.

I was using the same thing w/ my Toshiba and it worked so fast you couldn't tell what was really going on. With the Hitachi I needed to put in a 2-3 second delay after the discrete but before the toggles and that slowed things down a lot.

Fortunately, I just got the following information from Hitachi. I haven't tried it yet but expect no problems.

Update 10/2:
I validated that the process works. On a OFA, they use Setup Code 145 and I've added the EFC's to the table.

-----

Unfortunately, we do not have the specific hex codes for the discrete
commands available. However, the remote control (the new roll-and-click
remote) comes with certain discreet IR codes that are programmed on a
hidden layer of the remote control. These can then be learned via IR
with the universal remote.

To access this second layer of the original remote, follow these
directions:
1. Set the remote to the TV mode.
2. While holding down the "Ent" key, press "Menu" and then "LC"
3. If you have performed steps 1 and 2 correctly, the remote LED will blink 3 times.
4. Reference the discrete code list to determine which buttons are now assigned to emit the discreet IR code you wish to learn.
5. To return the remote to TV mode use the following procedure: While holding down the "Ent" key, press 1, 3, 4, 5. If you have successfully changed to the TV mode, the LED will blink 3 times. Repeat if necessary to return to the TV mode.

Discrete code list.

Remote button - Discreet command
Aspect - 16:9 Standard (EFC 200)
PIP - 16:9 Zoom (EFC 198)

Day/night - 4:3 Standard (EFC 202)

Volume down - Ant A. (EFC 134)
Channel up - Ant B. (EFC 138)
Channel down - Ant C. (if your TV has Ant C.) (EFC 005)

Once you get them learned and assuming you are going to put them in a JP1 device upgrade, let me know and I'll create the Pronto hex and post them.

My original Hitachi 50VS810 remote is broken -- number "9" key doesn't work -- and I'm not able to learn one final discrete command.

I appreciate if someone can send the the Pronto hex code for discret selection of "4:3 Expanded" --> see above post detailing that in the 2nd layer of the Hitachi remote the above requested discret code is on button "9".

Thanks.

Hitachi has the Pronto hex on their website:

The hex code on Hitachi website does not contain the hex code for the discrete "4:3 Expanded" command.

Anyone have a 50VS810 that can upload the hex code for "4:3 Expanded"?

Thanks.

Brian,

If no one responds with the answer, here would be my approach to the problem:

The EFC numbers in David's post are for One For All remotes and it is an encryption of the true function number aka OBC. If I translate those numbers to function and add a few other commands used in Hitachi HDTV's (marked with ***) then sort by function (OBC) you get the following:

OBC EFC
033 217 1 - Video 1
034 215 2 - Video 2
035 219 3 - Video 3
036 212 4 - Video 4
060 020 LC - Virtual HD Toggle
061 024 5 - Video 5
062 022 ( -) - Power On
063 026 0 - Power Off
100 196 ***EXIT
101 200 Aspect - 16:9 Standard
102 198 PIP - 16:9 Zoom
103 202 Day/night - 4:3 Standard
104 069 9 - 4:3 Expanded -- NOW CONFIRMED THAT IT WORKS
105 073 7 - 4:3 Zoom1
106 071 8 - 4:3 Zoom2
107 075 Guide - Virtual HD 540p
108 068 Info - Virtual HD 1080i
109 072 ??
110 070 ??
111 074 ***ASPECT
112 133 ***UP
113 137 ***DOWN
114 135 ***RIGHT
115 139 ***LEFT

There are only three likely OBC numbers missing that don't have commands 104, 109 and 110:

Device Code: 80 Function: 104
0000 006D 0022 0002 0157 00AC 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0689 0157 0056 0015 0E94

0000 006D 0022 0002 0157 00AC 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0689 0157 0056 0015 0E94
Device Code: 80 Function: 110
0000 006D 0022 0002 0157 00AC 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0689 0157 0056 0015 0E94


Obviously, use at you own risk since I don't know what they do. I have not heard of any Master Resets or anything like that on Hitachi Displays but it's possible.

There is no guarantee that the numbrs are closely grouped, but as you can see with the exception of Video 5 most of the OBC numbers are closely grouped.

You are correct. Function 104 = "4:3 Expanded" mode.

Thanks for your help!

Hey guys,

Anyone have a discrete to select the "RGB" input directly? I have all the other inputs discretes, but not for the RGB. I have the Hitachi 55HDT51 Plasma.

Thanks,
Mark
