LN52A650F1 Home Theatre Control

Nov 24, 2008 2:08PM PST

I purchased my TV the end of August and think that this is the best picture on a TV I have seen yet. I am just now getting around to integrating the control of the TV into my home's Crestron remote control system. I have worked with other Samsung LCD and Plasma TV's in the past and have utilized the ExtLink jack for input of RS-232 commands to control basic functions. Is there a document that details the RS232 protocol for this set? I am looking for descrete power on and off along with input selection. Thank you in advance for any help.

Steve-n-TN,

I've send in an inquiry to see if I can get those codes. If I can get them, I'll post them here.

I found the 2008 TV RS232 serial command document on the Samsung website, but I'm afraid that it is missing some information concerning the header and checksum. I e-mailed customer service a couple of weeks ago requesting clarification on a couple of things including the setup through the service menu and they have not responded. Should I contact customer service via phone?

Steve-n-TN,

I've sent a request out for that information to be updated, and an email for the information if I can get it.
