I'm having a little trouble with my sony tv and using the descreet inputs on my Harmony 525. I am using the sony kdl-40D3100 dataset to match the tv.

I have tried all the decreet inputs listed and NONE of them go to the 3 HDMI inputs on my tv. I have a PVR plugged into HDMI 1 and an AV receiver plugged into HDMI 3. I also don't like the InputNext scrolling method as it is slow and unreliable.

All the other inputs can be accessed via decreet commands but NOT the HDMIs.

What am i to do??

If that's an older model TV you could try a newer model to see if it has discrete commands. Or you can try to get discrete commands from Sony or from Pronto users (pronto Hex codes) and have support upload them for you. If they don't exist then you're stuck with InputNext.

But remember - you're no worse off with the harmony than you would be with your Sony remote.

Also try "Confirm infrared commands" (under Device > More Options) to see if it will find a better dataset match. Else, use pseudo discrete sequences like "Inputxxx + InputNext" for HDMI1, "Inputxxx + InputNext + InputNext" for HDMI2, etc. "Inputxxx" is the nearest discrete command (that you need to find) that when followed by the "InputNext" command, will bring you to the HDMI1 input. In the input setup Method 2 (discrete method), you will use the discrete "Inputxxx" command for input label HDM1 to HDMI3, but will have to add the "InputNext" command(s) in the activity startup macro since the input setup Method 2 (discrete) no longer supports the additional command feature.

Thanks Akirby,

it is not an lod model, it was only bought about 6 months ago. Where do i go to get the hex codes??

Many Thanks,

Tim
