My Sharp TV has a "audio only" function which blanks the tv screen but I can't seem to access it via my Harmony 670. I created an activity to listen to Satellite Music which will turn on my DirecTivo and change to a radio channel. I was hoping to be able to invoke the audio only mode as part of the macro but no luck. Can someone provide some assistance to help me get the right information to set it up?
Thanks in advance.

Did you check all of the commands in device mode? If it's not there can you learn it from the OEM remote? Once you have the command in the harmony and know how it works, re-run the activity setup and at the end choose the "yes, but I want to add more control" option. There you will be able to send that command at the beginning of the activity and then send another command(s) to undo it at the end of the activity.

Yes, I looked at the list and couldn't find the command I needed. The way I access it through the remote is a 5 or six button press process. First I click then four times, then then then and again before it finally goes into this "audio only" mode.

I tried also doing a macro by tying together strings of these button presses, but it almost never works completely and the tv remembers the last place you were in the "menu", which causes problems because there is no default start location to begin the series of right button presses. The few times I attempted it, it either missed a few button presses and ended up changing some random settings. Not pleasant.

I was looking at other threads and there was one where someone published some IR codes for the Sharp HDTV's and it included the needed "audio only" setting. What I took this to mean is that there must be some signal somewhere that can be programmed for a single button press to activate the function. How to program the remote with this IR code is another story. Don't even know where to begin.

Again, any help is appreciated.

You looked at the list of commands but did you try all of them in device mode? What about the commands named "Audio" and "AvMode" for examples? Note: If you know the Pronto code, then you can ask Support to add it.
