Discrete code for Video 7 on Sony HD TV

[aprest]

I need the discrete code for Video 7 (DVI input) for a Sony XBR34 (or other Sony HD TVs) for my Radioshack 15-2116. If it takes more than a code please provide information how I can add it to my remote.
Thanks!

Remotecentral.com says Sony 15, device 151, OBC 66 or EFC 32.

Edit: I initially forgot which forum we were in and lept to the probably wrong conclusion that you don't have a JP1 cable. But other than that, most of what I said is still valid. If you do use the JP1 cable for installing that signal, the easiest way is to create an upgrade with no buttons assigned, and install that upgrade assigned to no device key, then use it as the source setup code for a KeyMove.

That particular discrete code tends to be a problem for two reasons:

1) Standard setup codes for these remotes don't cover Sony device number 151, so you would need some extra setup code added to be able to generate that signal at all.
I don't know if RadioShack or UEI provides that kind of support for the 15-2116 (do they offer added setup codes at all, and if so would they identify and add an obscure setup code just to enable a signgle discrete code).

With a JP1 cable, you could add the required setup code yourself.

2) Many of the Sony models that have a Video 7 input don't understand that discrete code. They apparently have no discrete code for video 7, even though they have discrete codes for other inputs. I have no clue whether your model is one of those.

For both those reasons, you may be better off programming a macro to reach Video 7 rather than a discrete code.

Thanks everyone. Looks like I am going to have to refresh my memory regarding how to add the the code using my JP1 cable.
