procedure for turning TV on w/ discrete code
For that very reason, I hate to jump back in, but her comment about you not understanding what a discrete code is rings true - either that or you just had a typo. You said:Steve, you present quite a challenge.
Normally we are working with more abstract problems in the forum. You are having trouble with things that should be pretty obvious. We've provided all the discrete codes you requested, but you don't seem to know what a discrete is. It makes it really difficult to help you.
A DiscreteON command is sent to guarantee that a device is on. If the device is off, it should turn on. If the device is already on, nothing should happen.if I press key 4 on it’s on it will turn on the TV (that’s allready off) just like the main power doe’s is this key 4 actualley a discrete power on? I’m thinking key 4 if it was a discrete TV on it would’nt turn the TV (that’s allready off) on.
Hopefully this issue can be resolved I hope I don't have to use 3 macros to jump from PC back to TV.pH7_jp1 wrote:In another thread you commented you aren't getting much help in this thread.

A DiscreteOFF command is sent to guarantee that a device is off. If the device is on it should turn off. If the device is already off, nothing should happen. Phil I'm not using a discrete Off for TV I'm using main power to turn off the TV.
A Discrete<select input> command is to select a specific input on the device no matter what the current input state.
The use of a discrete code in a macro is to guarantee a known state of the device before sending other commands that depend on that state, or just to achieve what the user wants.
On the basis of this statement alone, without being able to understand he rest, a few thoughts:-thebrain wrote:...even w/ the TV discrete on The TV still turns off jumping from PC macro to TV macro.
Hello Chris yes the CEC is turned on.I havn't made a Macro for my Magnavox DVR yet. I manelly select the input on the AVR then turn Magnavox on I believe when I power down the Magnavox the CEC automatically switchs to TV becauce when powering down the Mag. I see a message disconecting anynet. I actualley want to resolve my issuse w/ jumping from PC back to TV before I make a Magnavox Macro.tranx wrote:On the basis of this statement alone, without being able to understand he rest, a few thoughts:-thebrain wrote:...even w/ the TV discrete on The TV still turns off jumping from PC macro to TV macro.
Either
1.) the Tv's 'discrete on' is not 'discrete' I believe I have the RCAs key #4 programed as a discrete TV on because when I press #4 (when the TV is off it turns on when the TV is on and press #4 the TV stays on
Or
2.) Something else is turning the Tv off
If CEC settings have not been discussed it could be worth checking those, together with any other menu settings which might be causing problems: With a samsung Tv, even wth CEC (a.k.a. 'anynet') being off, anything connected by SCART, or involved in re-producing sound through the TV, might be affecting the Tv, or perhaps Tv power might be switched when an Hdmi signal goes off.

Chris I tryed to turn off the CEC anynet also turned off the auto off setting on the Samsung TV however the TV still turns off going from PC macro back to TV macro.tranx wrote:On the basis of this statement alone, without being able to understand he rest, a few thoughts:-thebrain wrote:...even w/ the TV discrete on The TV still turns off jumping from PC macro to TV macro.

See Wiki. The SCART connector was invented by the French, rumors say to be deliberately incompatible with the US. Sometimes called EURO-connector. It is a catastrophe in particular from a mechanical point of view.tranx wrote:Sorry not to be any help.
(I believe that 'SCART' is the type of AV connection which was commonly used before Hdmi)
