Discrete Code Programming into RR-969

[mazuly]

Hi,

I finally upgraded my old 27" Sony TV to a 50” Samsung DLP which is coming on Wednesday . I can’t wait to watch a movie on it using my RSP-1066/RMB-1075/RDV-1080 combo. Or maybe if I am lucky I may also get my RSP-1098 which has been on order since August .

Anyway, as some of you guys might know, the Samsung TV does not have discrete buttons for input selection and therefore programming startup/shutdown macros for TV/HT gear would be a nightmare. I have found the following discrete codes for the Samsung:

Antenna 251
Video 1 177
Video 2 013
Video 3 017
S-Video 1 192
S-Video 2 019
S-Video 3 175
Component 1 171
Component 2 016
Component 3 179
DVI 018
PC 073
Discrete On 001
Discrete Off 253

Is there a way to send the above discrete codes to the TV using RR-969?

Thanks for your help guys,
Maziar

No, the RR-969 does not access discrete codes directly. What you need to do is purchase/obtain another remote such as the URB-8810/11. Input those advanced codes into it and then use the URC remote as the master to teach your 969.

Better yet, you can purchase/build a JP1 cable and do all the programming of discrete codes from your PC and upload them to the URC (which you then use to teach your 969)

There's a ton of information on http://www.hifi-remote.com and on http://www.remotecentral.com

I think I can resolve this issue my macros. If I make sure that the TV is always on a certain input on power off, I can then use that input as the starting point for startup macros. Hopefully the macros will not be larger than 20 commands.

Thanks for your answer though.
