Hello all. I'm looking for a discrete on for my Panasonic RP56 DVD player. I used the device code 0490 and the discrete "on" code 022 (using my radio shack 15-2104 remote). This actually works to turn the DVD player on. However, after displaying the "Welcome to DVD" message, the screen says "close". When I try to hit the eject button to open the player, the screen just switches back and forth between "open" and "close" without actually opening the tray. When I turn my DVD player on with the DVD remote, this doesn't happen, so I figure there must be something wrong with the discrete code. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

After much experimenting, I believe that the problem has something to do with my discrete "off" code for this DVD player. When I use the setup code 0490 with the discrete "off" code 026 to turn my DVD player off, this works, but then when I subsequently turn the DVD player on (whether I use a discrete code to do so or not)the DVD LCD screen displays "WELCOME TO DVD WORLD" then "CLOSE" (instead of "WELCOME TO DVD WORLD" then "NO DISC"). When this occurs, if I try to open the tray by hitting eject, the LCD screen just toggles between "OPEN" and "CLOSE" when I hit eject without any movement of the tray.

The discrete "on" code (0490 - 022) appears to work fine. I can always turn the DVD player on successfully using this code as long as I have used the remote power button to turn the DVD player off beforehand. If I use the discrete "off" code to turn the DVD player off, I get that "CLOSE" message when I turn the DVD player on again whether or not I use a discrete code to turn the DVD player on.

This is very frustrating and I wonder if anyone else has had this problem with the Panasonic RP-56. I suppose I could just leave the DVD player on all the time but I'd rather find a discrete "off" code that doesn't screw the player up.

I feel like I'm engaging in my own monologue here. ;) Anyway, I figured out a workaround for my problem. On my SYSTEM OFF macro, I program in a discrete on for the DVD player first then a nondiscrete power button toggle to turn it off. This gets around the problems I have with the discrete off. However, it's kinda annoying to jump through such hoops so if anyone has a discrete off that works properly, let me know. Peace.

"Try the following discrete off code for DVD RP 56:". Correction this is toggle on/off not discrete off.
