Just FYI, the HDMI inputs are listed on the Sony site but they're listed as Video6 thru Video 8 (comp1 and 2 are Video4 and Video5).

Rob, your Sony site is very nice. I'm looking for 2 discretes for my TV (HDMI3 and HDMI4). I've tried all the video/input codes on the site. I did find that there are more than one codes that do my HDMI1 AND HDMI2.

Is there any logical to explore for new codes, from codes that I have?

HDMI1         	04253	224	90	 Sony15	26
HDMI2         	03229	220	91	 Sony15	26
HDMI3         	05021	227	92	 Sony15	26
HDMI4         	03997	223	93	 Sony15	26
HDMI5         	04509	225	94	 Sony15	26
PC            	21573	028	67	 Sony12	1

Mine is a Sony EX model, I've tried all these and found a few duplicates, but no HDMI 3 or HDMI 4, its just an academic exercise. I wanted to get a complete upgrade. I don't actually need them.

Hmm... all these have been confirmed to work elsewhere. Realize that any inputs you may have marked skipped in the setup on the tv won't respond to discrete input commands.

While the compoments codes work as alternates on my EX, none of these HDMI codes work. I've already found HDMI 1 and 2. I didn't get to do much research on this TV, my husband was in the "must have NOW" mood, and it was a super deal. Its here now, and I must say I like it.I do remember seeing that there were 2 different "engines" in the EX series and I didn't know what that meant, but maybe that this might be the difference in what works and what doesn't.

Some TVs won't accept an input if there is nothing connected to it. I've seen this particularly on the newer models. I don't have any specific knowledge on these Sony sets but you might connect something to verify.

Well I found the problem.

The device/OBC is right, but these need to be Sony 15, not Sony 12 so the EFC's are wrong.

HDMI1 90 Sony15 26
HDMI2 91 Sony15 26
HDMI3 92 Sony15 26
HDMI4 93 Sony15 26
HDMI5 94 Sony15 26

I can get these into RM, but can't for the life of me figure out how to get these into KM.
