Morning
Thank you: I am programming a URC 8610 to provide 'one button' switching to, and between:
1. Sony Bravia TV (KDL-55W829B 'Bravia Sync' i.e. HDMI CEC capable) --- via input HDMI 1 for visual signals from --- Sky Box+ (not currently HDMI CEC capable, but about to be upgraded to include control over HDMI capability on completion of the roll out of the R010 firmware update) --- via optical cable for audio signals to --- Sony AVR STR DB 940 (not HDMI CEC capable) in 'TV/Sat' input mode delivering 5.1 sound from coded broadcasts; and
2. Sony Bravia TV (KDL-55W829B) --- via input HDMI 2 for visual signals from --- Oppo BDP-103EU blu-ray player (HDMI CEC capable) --- via 5.1 sound analogue outputs to --- Sony AVR STR DB 940 in '5.1 CH' input mode delivering 5.1 sound from coded discs.
All is working well wth the programming, except that I need the remote control codes to select input HDMI 1 and input HDMI 2 on the TV.
The issue arises because the native configuration of the TV remote, looking at external inputs, is to select 'move one position on from the present position'. This enables the user to scroll through the menu of available inputs and make a manual selection. This is ok in regular use; but clearly I need the code to select specifically for input HDMI 1 (and separately for HDMI 2) in order to complete the 'one button' sequence of command codes from the URC 8610.
I understand that there are specific codes to select the individual input channels on the KDL-55W829B TV, though the remote does not use them.
Sorry to have gone on a bit; but I would appreciate any advice or guidance, and especially any information on these specific input selection codes; or, indeed, any other ideas on how this may be done. The best answer may be simply to wait for the R010 firmware update and use the HDMI CEC control over HDMI capability to select device and input channel, and then use further commands to select the matching AVR mode.
