Please educate a newbie

OK, I have success with Discrete ON/OFF with my Samsung TV and my ONKYO
receiver.

Now, does anybody have the Discrete ON and OFF EFCs for the Verizon CHS435HDC? (FIOS Box)

I have tried the device code 0476/CBL and it works as a remote for the
device, but the remote only has a Power Toggle button.

Thoughts? Answers?

Thank you again!!

There may not be a discrete on/off for this unit. I have not seen any discrete on off for this box.

if you read down this thread they suggest a workaround but that might be your box

Vbova27 suggests
Check the cable box settings menu. Check for "Power On" option. Set it to POWER AND NUMERIC. This will allow the power button AND any number on the keypad to turn the box on. SO.....

0, 0 - Turn the power on
0, 0, Power - Turn the power off

Someone else suggested
0
0, Power

Unfortunately, I don't have that option. It looks like I am out of luck.

Thank you for the response.

Does "play" wake your device?

You can try all the unused obcs efcs to see if a discrete exists. I believe mdavej walked you through that procedure when I had on/off bacwabackwards before.

Sorry, I've never seen discrete on/off on a cable box of any kind. One of the workarounds above is probably your best bet. In cases like this I just leave the box on all the time since the power consumption is the same for on and standby.

Well, I have discovered that "Menu" turns the FIOS CHS box "ON".

So, to turn the FIOS ON, I press "Menu, Exit"
.. if FIOS is ON already, the Menu pops up and then exits quickly
.. if FIOS is OFF, it powers on and the exit does nothing

And for OFF, I press "Menu, Power".
.. if FIOS is ON, the Menu pops up and then it quickly powers off
.. if FIOS is OFF, it powers up and quickly turns off

A bit awkward, but worthy of posting

Anybody have one of these?

Know the device code?

If anyone had one of these, there would/should be an upgrade in our file section, which there isn't.

I take it that none of the Cisco options is working, ie CBL/1877,1982,0877

So the only course of action would be the 991 Searching for your code , as outlined in you manual.

Turn the box on
On the Remote press CBL
The Press and HOLD setup until it blinks twice
Tap 9 9 1 and CBL should blink twice
Press POWER once,
Then Press CH+ until the unit turns off
Press Power and the unit should turn back on and led will blink 2x

Now use the checking your code 990 instructions shown in your instructions to let us know what the code is. We'll try to help you find a better fit if necessary.

According to the thread below, it should use CBL 0476.
