Any tips on hunting IR Codes fro Pronto (1 Viewer)

[Mark Ward]

I've been searching for some discrete codes for my Panasonic TX32-PK20 TV to turn it ON and OFF separately rather than the On/Off Toggle.
I've found the equivelent codes for my Panasonic VCR so I'm fairly sure Panasonic will have included them on the TV also.
An email to Panasonic UK got the reply:-

Unfortunately the factory do not supply us with these codes as they are not
generally available to the public. They liase with the manufacturers of
universal remotes direct, so we never get the codes, sorry. You could try
searching the net or the manufacturer of your remote.

I've tried remotecentral and a couple of other sites without success and now wish to see if I can find it by trial & error. Does anyone have any tips on how to locate unknown codes using a Pronto?
Thanks,
Mark.

Mark if those codes aren't on RC then they likely don't exist. There are tools that can generate a list of IR codes for yor device but be forewarned that some of these codes may do things that you'd rather they didn't. There have been a few cases of people trying random codes only to find out that they reset the internal settings of the machine or do this or that...its really a crap shoot what will happen. If you really need discrete on off codes and you can't find one then maybe look at plugging the TV into a powerbar that has a timed outlet on it. Some people use these for powering up amps after the pre amp powers on but they should work equally well for a TV. Another sol'n would be to use an X10 applience modual and use the IR543 to turn it on or off.

Did you try Prontoedit ? They were where I found most of my discrete on/off codes for mine...

It may be worth your while to get a cheap ($20-$30) OFA Cinema 7 remote. You can easily try all 255 possible codes for your device. Once you find it you can teach it to your Pronto. Also, this site http://www.hifi-remote.com/ofa/discrete.shtml has tons of info. I was able to get discrete on and off for my previous 56" Panasonic HDTV. You can try these codes. They might work.

The discrete codes for my Panasonic VCR are not on buttons on the remote, but they exist. Also, I've come across Discrete ON & OFF codes for a few other Panasonic TVs, just none seem to work with my model.
I'll take your advice about randomly trying codes, would be quite possible to un-wittingly mess up geometry etc.
Guess I'll have to keep trawling the various websites....
Thanks,
Mark Ward.
