We are installing a new Zenith Z42PX2D plasma this week, and the discrete codes we need are available as a hex code in the instruction manua. But it is not a complete string as I have seen in the past. They only give you a 2 character such as Comp 1 is BF. What do I need to do to translate this short of getting C3P0? If it was a full hex string, I could paste it into pronto and then transfer it to the MX-850 we are using. Please help me.

If you are speaking of the rear IR jack I would caution against using it. It is semi propritary in so far as it is meant to be used with a propritary hard wired remote. More to the point is that the unit will idol at 5v and go to 0v with a code. How do you expect to implement that bit of TTL logic? This does not mean you could not construct such a circuit only that it would not be a direct connection from your MX850.
I am curious if anyone actually reads any of my posts?

I wasn't planning to connect to the plasma itself, just use ir to the sensor in front. I have the codes for discrete on/off, comp 1, but we need comp 2. It does not appear to be accessable via the remote, and the manual does not show the whole string, just a 2 character D4 as the code. I read your posts all the time Alan. but some of them are over my head.(Not very hard according to my wife!)

The Hex code BF is just another way of expressing a number or "function code". The way that this IR protocol is structured, there is a lead in, or preamble, followed by a device code(makes sure that power on only turns on one component, not all of them), then a function code(what you want the TV to do), then an end string.
The power on code that was posted in NEC2 protocol device code 4. The power on code is function code 196 or C4 in Hex. Cleaned up and without the carrier anamolies or extra data on the end, it looks like this:
0000 006D 0000 0022 0157 00AC 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0689
BF in hex is function code 191. Applied to the same device code 4 from the other code, we get:
0000 006D 0000 0022 0157 00AC 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0689

Where can I find a listing of function codes and their hex equivilant?

didn't you say the manual has all the codes listed in hex value? A scientific calculator can make short work ofthe coversion, but you will need an IR program to generate the complete code set. Post the info and I'll convert it for you. If you do, also post the learned power command from your particular set just to make sure that it is using the same device code.

Jason,
How do you convert the code to hex? I know how to enter hex into the IR/remtoe program, but how do you use the scientific calculator. Never had to do this, but it wouldn't hurt to learn how.

Open the calculator program from windows, switch to scientific mode(under the view tab), click the "hex" bullet, type in the hex value you have i.e. C4, then click the "Dec" bullet to convert to decimal. Other calculators function the same way.
