I am strongly considering buying a TSU2000. I have read most of the FAQ's, and this forum for a while. But I still can't answer this question. I have a Proscan PS32810 TV. The only discrete codes I could find are for on and off. Does this mean that I will have a problem with switching between video 1, 2, 3, etc.? Is there a work around? Is it possible that a discrete code does exist for video switching, or has every tv at this point been figured out?

dkan,

Well, having discrete on and off is a big plus, many don't. Does the remote for the TV allow you to select inputs directly or does it have a button which cycles through the inputs? If it does, you can teach the command to a Pronto. If not, you still may be to implement a work-around with a macro. Is there a button that will place your TV in a known state? I.e. a button (like channel up) that places the TV in the tuner mode. If so you could build a macro on a single button to go to input #2. The commands on this button would go something like this: #1 -- channel up (puts TV in tuner mode; #2 -- input (puts TV in input #1 mode); #3 -- input (puts TV in input #2. You could build a similar button (without the #3 command) for input #1.

Jim,

Actually the TV hasn't arrived yet so I am unsure if you can enter a specific video input. I remember reading on a different forum that someone hated having to cycle through all of the inputs, so I guess that you have to, but I am not sure.

I think I understand why discrete on/off codes are good, but I am unsure. Is it just so that macros don't screw it up by turning it on/off by accident? Or is there another thing I am missing?

Basically, yes a macro thing. Nothing makes the wife madder than hitting a button and the TV turns off when it should be on. You start to get questions like "why did you spend so much dough on this thing". Very hard questions to answer. A discrete on code will turn the TV on if it's off but do nothing if it's on. Keeps things in sync. When you get the TV, if you can't decipher my suggestion for a macro and the inputs, post again.

Best wishes
