Features Consumer Electronics Control Wiki Login: Pass:

Welcome to the Consumer Electronics Control Wiki on Remote Central. This is a user-created section with information on how to best control various consumer electronics devices (such as televisions, A/V receivers and Blu-ray players), as well as details on how those devices behave during operation.

For example, you'll learn whether a particular television can use infrared, RF, RS-232 or some other control method, how long it takes to power on and switch inputs, if discrete IR codes are available, as well as other useful tips, tricks and commands to make integrating this device into a universal remote control or other control system faster and more reliable.

All information is created and kept up-to-date by Remote Central members, so please take the time to enter profiles for the components you own or work with!

This Wiki is currently in beta and is open for discussion!
Please check out the official forum thread and help us improve this section by suggesting new information categories, ways to improve editing or navigation, and anything else you can think of!

Cable cards are best left to be installed by the cable company. There are certain 2-way caommands that need to be initiated (especially when there is troubleshooting) during setup. You need a special ID only a cable company would have.
