I posted this request in a general forum and now realize that this is where it really belongs - I really don't mean to double post but I want this request to be in the right place . . .

I recently downloaded some discrete codes included in the Edward Lee's pcf intended for the HD-A1 first generation player. The "off" discrete code works but the "on" does not. His "off" code is 900A 006D 0000 0001 45B5 936C. His "on" code is 900A 006D 0000 0001 45B5 926D. I'm sure no wizard at deciphering these codes so I'd sure appreciate any help that anyone has to offer.

After some more searching I found the suggestion about trying the "play" button as a discrete "on" - and it works on the HD-A2. Since Edward Lee's posted pcf has a good discrete "off" I guess I'm good to go for now.

I cant seem to get these "short" codes to work with Crestron or ProntoEdit (so I can teach Crestron or try to control th e dvd player). Crestron doesnt accept them and even though prontoedit accepts them my test pronto doesnt spit them out? Anyone have the long codes available, or the know how to convert them?

Thanks,

Tom

Right. It needs the long form.

or ProntoEdit (so I can teach Crestron or try to control
th e dvd player). Crestron doesnt accept them and even
though prontoedit accepts them my test pronto doesnt spit
them out?

Most models of Pronto understand that short form. I forget which models don't. What model to you have (maybe some other expert will comment on whether the short form will work).

know how to convert them?

You can generate the long form with MakeHex.

The protocol is nec1, so you would use the file nec1.irp.

In the string:

900A 006D 0000 0001 45B5 926D

45 is the device code.
B5 is the subdevice code.
92 is the function code.

But all those numbers are in hex. Makehex requires device.subdevice in decimal.

45 hex is 69 decimal. B5 hex is 181 decimal. So in nec1.irp you would use device=69.181

See the readme with makehex for more instructions and for ways of dealing with the fact that you have the function codes in hex.

But if those two were the only ones you wanted (rather than samples from a longer list) I'll save you the trouble:

Device Code: 45.B5 Function: 92
0000 006D 0022 0002 0157 00AC 0015 0041 0015 0016 0015 0041 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0041 0015 0016 0015 0041 0015 0016 0015 0041 0015 0016 0015 0041 0015 0041 0015 0016 0015 0041 0015 0016 0015 0041 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0041 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0041 0015 0041 0015 0016 0015 0041 0015 0041 0015 0016 0015 0041 0015 0041 0015 0016 0015 0689 0157 0056 0015 0E94
Device Code: 45.B5 Function: 93
0000 006D 0022 0002 0157 00AC 0015 0041 0015 0016 0015 0041 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0041 0015 0016 0015 0041 0015 0016 0015 0041 0015 0016 0015 0041 0015 0041 0015 0016 0015 0041 0015 0041 0015 0041 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0041 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0041 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0041 0015 0041 0015 0016 0015 0041 0015 0041 0015 0016 0015 0689 0157 0056 0015 0E94

Edit: Oops! when I first answered this, I looked at 45 and somehow saw 4B, so my whole answer was based on that. I just now edited the above answer to use 45 instead of 4B. So if you took the above Pronto Hex before and/or used 75.181 in MakeHex, sorry and please try again.

There is a 1 way module with discretes to control it 232, I have used it and works well, I was controlling a HDAX2
There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

Great thanks johnsfine, I just now am reading your reply. Those are the only codes I needed for the DVD and I will try them tommorow. Now if I can only get a straight answer from Toshiba if the new plasma's actually have discrete IR codes! I dont know why they protect these codes so much, it wastes a lot of their tech support time!

Thanks Again,

Tom

I tried the on/off code on the HD-D1, the on worked as a discrete, but the off did nothing.

The discretes above did not work for me in my TSU7000 with my HD-A2. Anyone having success with the discrete on and off?
