Device Code 0093
(I hope the formatting of this comes out ok...)
In general, the 0093 code sets up the TV functions on the Cinema 7 pretty well, but the PIP buttons are somewhat messed up. The Sharp PIP fix documented in the troubleshooting part of the manual puts the PIP on/off on the wrong button.
There is an EFC list on Starbase 14 (
[Link: starbase14.com]). It's a bit confusing for my TV, so I experimented by cycling through codes 000 to 255.
Here's what I found so far. My bet is these will also work for the Sharp 32L-400 and maybe other current 1999-2000 models.

In addition, a number of EFC's bring up a line of diagnostic settings. These settings start with 'S', 'P', and 'M'. They are adjusted with the Volume up and down keys. Using the Channel up and down keys will cycle through all the different settings. I have no knowledge of what they mean. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! EFCs 034, 039, 068-075, 122, 132, 133, 135, 137, 139, 196, 198-204, and 244 brings these up on the screen. Power down then back up to get rid of them.
