Discrete Aspect Ratio for TV 0053 (JVC AV32F703)

raycmaple · Post by **raycmaple** » Thu Dec 04, 2003 5:09 pm

Since it isn't listed in the advanced code file, I suspect the answer is no, but has anyone found discrete codes for 16:9 / 3:2 on a JVC AV32F703? The file has discrete codes for on, off and inputs (thank you!), but not for aspect ratio. I could build a toadtog for this, but it is VERY likely to get out of sync, since a power-on always brings the TV up in 3:2 mode, and the family is always using the power button on the set.

After reading about the danger of accidentally putting a TV in service mode, I'm reluctant to go trying "unused" efcs.

Thanks,
Ray

Ray,

In my "database" I have these EFC's but IIRC, they came from a UK set, so use at your own risk. Your TV may start speaking with a British accent

EFC

167 Wide
131 16x9
112 Cinema

This phrase translates to, "try it out on the display model at Best Buy before risking your own gear."

Thanks for the suggestions. I know what two of these do.

131 (16:9) acts like a two press toggle on this TV. The first press brings up a menu to tell you which mode you are in (as if you couldn't tell already), and a second press changes it. This would be the basis of a toadtog discrete.

167 (Wide) refers to audio - a "hyper surround" mode

112 ?? The advanced codes file lists this as "Cinema/Game." Sounds like it should be safe to try, but .... I like the "Best buy" approach.

If only this set was still in stores.

Ray,

Is it possible when the menu comes up to select with numerals. This is often a hidden feature with menus. So Menu|3|Enter picks the third item on the list rather than using the less reliable Menu|Dn|Dn|Enter.

The second idea is to decode all the JVC HDTV's with DecodeCCF and see if you find some other promising leads.
