hey guys!

I just got a panasonic th-50ph12u. The hdmi inputs are labeled 2a & 2b b/c they're on the same input board. The manufacturer's remote doesn't have discrete inputs.

I am using a urc r50 but i also have a harmony 670. I've tried loading the profiles for 10th, 11th and 12th generation panasonic plasmas on the harmony but they don't have discrete 2a & 2b either.

where can i find these discrete commands?

you will not find those codes, they are only available in RS-232 codes.

Thats the only way I have ever seen it work

There is a workaround for this which works on the older Panny commercial plasmas. It may work with the newer models as well. It will involve turning the TV off in order to switch inputs, however.

Here are the details:

Of course this will require a remote which supports programmable macros. I know nothing about the R50 so I'm not sure if you'll be able to use this workaround..

I've been able to do the workaround without turning off the TV.

The way it worked for me was I changed the TV input to input 3 (can be whatever you want, just need a discrete command) then issued the HDMI command for "A". Adding a delay then another HDMI command should take you to "B".

Thanks all.

I programmed the work around while waiting (hoping) to find discrete codes for my remotes. My inputs cycle like this:

input 2a-->input 2b-->input 3-->pc (slot 1 is empty)


I'm using 2a so my macro includes the pc input, 0.5 delay and input. This works everytime. It's just not as transparent as I would like.

here is some information I got from a Panny engineer who posts on some internet forums, apparently THERE IS a way to get discrete IR codes for 2A / 2B inputs!!

Does anyone know how to translate the following info into raw hex code for URC users (and also for Harmony tech support)???

---------------------------

the xA xB IR codes are below:

FUNCTION Custom Code Data
INPUT 1A 80 04 A0
INPUT 1B 80 04 A1
INPUT 2A 80 04 A2
INPUT 2B 80 04 A3

The individual inputs and input toggle are:

INPUT 1 80 00 01
INPUT 2 80 00 02
INPUT 3 80 00 03
PC 80 00 7A
INPUT 80 00 05

Harmony should be able to figure this out from the above.

The xA xB IR codes are below: (These are the same as HDMI 1,2,3,4 for the Pro 65 inch in Australia and probably Worldwide)

I'm wondering if this was an April Fool's joke?

I have a Panasonic TH-65PF10UK which has 2 dual-DVI boards (slots 1 and 2) and a component board (slot 3) fitted.

The plasma completely ignores the codes in the quoted post. Also, neither the O1R file for the Pronto nor the Panasonic.com discrete codes list an HDMI 4.

Oddly, the O1R function "TV VIDEO" always changes the input to 2A. That's the only one of the canned input functions (other than the input 1/2/3/PC ones) that the panel responds to from that file.

So, am I doing something wrong, or did I get fooled?

No joke on my behalf!

That PDF is "For 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007 consumer models". Sorry I didn`t go it to details but the HDMI 1-4 I was referring to was a 2008/09 Australian Model that has different HDMI Codes to that PDF.

Oddly, the O1R function "TV VIDEO" always changes the input to 2A. That's the only one of the canned input functions (other than the input 1/2/3/PC ones) that the panel responds to from that file.

I just provided the Hex Codes from the info in Post 7, whether they work is another story!

True. But there doesn't seem to be a newer version of the Panasonic PDF anywhere that I can see.

Ok. If anyone knows how to get this working on the PF10UK's, I'd be very interested in hearing about it. Other models in the recent PFxxUK series probably use the same codes.

from what I understand (got this info from my Panny contact) the 10UK did not support discrete IR codes for 2A/2B, this was added in the 11 series.

I will try emailing those IR hex codes to Harmony support and see if they work.

I am pleased to report that Harmony successfully added the hex code posted above to my account and I now have functioning Input 2A/2B discretes! :)

Thanks to Jasonvp for posting the full hex code for us!!
