The following control codes are for Toshiba DVD players (found at http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=940909).

These are described as shorthand Pronto codes, and IRTool requires long form hex to translate.

900A 006D 0000 0001 45B5 C738 - Player display test
900A 006D 0000 0001 45B5 C639 - Disc tray lock toggle
900A 006D 0000 0001 45B5 CB34 - Time and date on screen
900A 006D 0000 0001 45B5 CD32 - Factory reset
900A 006D 0000 0001 45B5 C43B - Toggle output HDMI resolution
900A 006D 0000 0001 45B5 CF30 - Version/revision information screen
900A 006D 0000 0001 45B5 936C - Discrete Off
900A 006D 0000 0001 45B5 FE01 - Discrete On (a)
900A 006D 0000 0001 45B5 926D - Discrete On (b)

A) Is there a short form to long form tool somewhere which I can use to create input to IRTool?

B) Is there a smarter way to convert the above to EFC?

Did you look at remote central. Five pages of files.

I used decodeCCF.exe. Make sure DecodeIR.dll is in the same directory.

I translate these as all using the NEC1 protocol with a device code of 69 and a sub-device code of 181.

Here are the individual OBCs:

199 Player display test
198 Disc tray lock toggle
203 Time and date on screen
205 Factory reset
196 Toggle output HDMI resolution
207 Version/revision information screen
147 Discrete Off
254 Discrete On (a)
146 Discrete On (b)

The method for decoding the format is described here:

Although DVD recorders respond to these OBC codes, the XS35 DVR does not (chose not to try factory reset).

Bummer, was hoping I'd be able to use discretes in macros and find out revision info.

Thanks for the translation, sure hope they are of use to someone else.

The thing that I'm curious about those codes is that they use the 69.181 device code, whereas regular Toshiba DVD recorders, like the XS32, use 69.188, so it's not just a question of the OBCs.

What method did you use to test the codes? Do you have an upgrade or setup code that works your XS35 already, and if so, what device codes does it use?

I once found some functions that were missing in the primary protocol for a DVD Recorder that existed in a different subdevice code.

Have had no luck finding discrete On/Off for the XS so punted with these since the subdevice codes were close.

Loaded them up as 1-8 on an AUX as 69/181 and none of them did anything.

I just discovered that Toshiba HD-DVD players use the 69.181 code. Here's an example:

Some player codes translate over to recorders, but not so in this case.

Macros are more difficult with no Discrete On/Off but it appears that is the way the DVD/HDD recorders were built.

Thanks
