1. Device: Panasonic TCP54V10
2. Type of device: TV
3. Year: 2009
4. JP1/UEI Remote model: URC6131
5. Do you have a JP1 cable? Y
6. Still have original remote? Y
7. Checked the file section? Y
8. Checked Pronto file section (at R/C)? TV/1250
9. Partially working setup code? Y TV-1250
10. Learning remote question? N

I am looking for the Discrete Input code for OTA TV (Tuner) in Hex or EFC(3) format. Also looking or the VieraCast code. The file Panasonic TH-xxPZ77U TH-xxPZ700U has all discrete inputs except for the TV input. No Viera Cast code. Anyone know either of these?

Frequently, sending a "Channel +" or "Channel -" command will work as a discrete Tuner command. have you tried this?

(and it's usually better if you provide a link to any file you reference - then somebody trying to help doesn't have to go looking for it.)

Guys, I have another idea. I have the remote that includes the Viera Cast button. I also have a learning remote. Is there a way I can capture the button's signals, and somehow convert that into something my URC-6131 (old) can output?

Sorry, I was really deep into all of this several years ago but have forgotten more than I learned I am afraid. By the way, Robman, it is cool to know you are still involved in this. THose 6131's I bought from you are the very best investment I have EVER made! I will cry if they ever break!

Certainly. Is your learning remote a JP1 remote?

learn the signal, download your remote to IR, and read its info from the learned tab.

Thanks. I have an old URC-7800 learning remote. I learned the Viera Link button onto it. WOrks fine. But when I connect to IR.exe program and download, it shows Learned as "N/A" at the bottom of the page. And nowhere do I see the 1L button that I learned the signal to.

I need to do some search to see how this is done. Man, I used to be good at this stuff, but it has been way too long!

Post the 7800 IR file so we can take a look.

Darn, you guess well. Yes, it says "7800-6800 Extender". When I force it to always ask for RDU file, 3 options show up, but all are extender. No option for non extender version.

7800ex
URC-7800 Extender
URC-7800-6800 Extender

are the 3 options.

So my guess is that I am running the extender, which removes learning. I will now search on how to remove it!!

Removing the extender from EEPROM based remotes is easy. First, save a copy of your current IR file (so you can restore the extender later), then disconnect the remote and do a 981 reset on it. (After doing a download using IR.exe, the extender should have become de-activated, which will enable the 981 function).

Thanks, guys!! I got my old 7800 working fine. And yes, there is now a 'learned' tab at the top of IR. SO now I can figure out the key I need. Once done, I will post an updated upgrade file for my Panny Plasma.

It is sad that I used to know all this stuff. How quickly one forgets. But thanks to you guys for leading me back on the path.

Post the details of the code once you have it here also, just to close the loop.

Here is the code for Viera Cast on a Panasonic TV:

Device: 1250 TV
EFC: 131
Sub Device: 9
Hex: $6F $36

Works perfectly. Be sure to use Hex, not EFC, due to the Sub Device code.

I will upload a complete Upgrade File for the Panasonic TC-P52v10 after I have added a few other functions. I think there is a Tuner Input discrete somewhere that I want to add.
