Hello everyone, Total noobie here, so I apologize if I may have missed something simple. Either which way, help would be very much appreciated! I own a Dynex 42' Plasma TV (model DX-PDP42-09) which I'm attempting to map a couple of features to this Comcast remote: What I'm trying to accomplish is when I press the TV button on the Comcast remote: - TV/Cable input mapped to 'Picture in Picture' On-Off button - YPbPr1 input mapped to 'Picture in Picture' Swap button - HDMI-1 input mapped to 'Picture in Picture' Move button - Sleep timer mapped to 'Picture in Picture' + button Basically I'm trying to prevent from having to use my original OEM remote to switch inputs and put a sleep timer on, effectively keeping it all to one remote. If it helps, I used Emerson code 10463 to setup my TV with the Comcast remote.

Power on your Dynex television by pressing either the 'Power' button on the front of the TV or the 'Power' button on the Dynex remote. Step Press and release the 'TV' button on your Comcast remote control.

Thanks in advance for any assistance. Since 10463 is the setup code, I'm guessing the image of the remote is close but not exactly your remote-- I suppose that your remote has a red OK/Select button instead of grey. Anyway, the following condtions need to be met. 1) The Dynex must be capable of responding to an IR signal which commands the functions you are interested in, or respond to a sequence of commands that will do the function. For example, it should respond to an IR signal which tells it to change to HDMI1 or perhaps to the sequence.

2) You'll need to know or find out the corresponding function codes. 3) The functions codes (EFCs) will need to be assigned to the PIP buttons. Do you switch inputs with a single button press on the original remote, or with a series of button presses? For the moment, I'll assume that a single press works, or the TV can respond to a single press ( a discrete IR signal) even if the original remote doesn't have such a dedicated button. You can use to see the normally used EFCs with setup code 10463, and try plausible functions.

Select Device Search, and TV 0463 (not 10463) as the setup code. Click Search, and then click the resulting EFC link. There you'll see, e.g., that Sleep is listed as EFC=123. Try this code on the Comcast remote by first pressing TV, then press Setup [edited to fix error] briefly.

Then quickly enter 00123. When you press 3, the TV should go into sleep mode (if that is how the sleep function is reached with the Dynex). For the input functions, well, try the likely candiddates, like 'Input 5'. If you don't find the function you want, you can try an exhaustive search of all 256 EFC possibilities between 00000 and 00255. Takes about 30 minutes, but be sure to watch for a reaction from the Dynex after trying each EFC. You wouldn't want to have reached a service menu, and not notice that fact. Once you have the EFCs that you need, assign them semi-permanently by using the 994 EFC keymove command.

If it turns out that you need a sequence, post back and we'll go through the 995 command to setup macros. My bad, yes the remote has a red 'OK/Select' button instead of a grey (totally missed that! Naruto Shippuden Dragon Blade Chronicles Wii Pal. ).

The input selection on the original remote works by pressing 'Input', which will bring up a small blue menu, and you use up/down arrows to highlight the input you want, then press 'OK' to select it. I tried doing what you said, but Sleep did not activate. On the OEM remote, all that needs to be done to put a sleep timer on is by pressing the 'Sleep' button, and pressing sequentially increases the timer, and it resets after 240 minutes. The 'TV' button on the Comcast remote did indeed flash twice, but nothing happened once I entered 00123.

Is it possible that I choose a setup code which works for my remote, but does not cover the functionality of the old remote given that I'm using an Emerson setup code for a Dynex remote control? Originally Posted by neg9 Is it possible that I choose a setup code which works for my remote, but does not cover the functionality of the old remote given that I'm using an Emerson setup code for a Dynex remote control? In a sense, yes, but by entering in EFCs, we can make the remote provide all of the functionality of the original remote and more.

Dynex TVs are mostly made by the same people that make Emerson, Insignia, Orion, etc. TVs, and they tend to use the same IR signals for all the brands. So we may be able to use the known EFCs for Insignia (the Best Buy house brand with much greater market penetration) to program the remote for your Dynex. And, even if it turns out that some of the Insignia function numbers don't work for the Dynex, there are only 256 possible function numbers. Random House Unabridged Dictionary on this page. You can try each one.
