LG LCD/Plasma display/TV (Code 18, 19, 1A and 1B hex)
In the back of each “Owner’s manual” is a list of “input select” codes … examine this table to determine the family.
There are over a 100 different displays in the “kb” LG family, and codes 18 and 19 cover the “kb” codes group (see the manuals). There are several allocations used, but all use numbers in the 6 … 9 range for RGB analog computer, so all these are drivable by the code, some may need manual (i.e. at setup time) allocation to constants 0 … 3. AV1/2 code can vary too, but usually in the 0 … 5 range. Devices are, LCD TV 32/37/42/47/52 LB9/LC7/LC2, and plasma TV 42/50/60 PB2/4/PC5/PY3. Choice of codes 18 or 19 determines TV type, Analog or Digital.
The newer “xb” family, with codes 1A and 1B, cover the LG3, LG5, LG6 and LG7 family and use a single hex byte after the ASCII select string, with the top 4 bits (5x, 9x, 2x, 4x) selecting an input type (AV, Component, etc) and the low 4 bits the input number (x0 or x1). Choice of codes 1A or 1B determines TV type, Analog or Digital.
(Another, older, group uses an “i” as a leading character; these are NOT drivable with the Code 18/19/1A/1B driver.)

Any one of these codes can be set into Constant:0/Constant:1 for computer codes and Constant:2/Constant:3 for video codes. (The default is to have Computer1 (above) as the “Computer” channel and Video1 as the “Video” channel. Setting OPT1 switch ON will swap Video1 and Video2 channels.)
TV := 'kb 00 0' + 0D; | or := 'xb 00 ' + 00 + 0D; | // TV Digital (Code 18 or 1A hex selects) |
TV := 'kb 00 1' + 0D; | or := 'kb 00 ' + 10 + 0D; | // TV Analog (Code 19 or 1B hex selects) |
This panel can be used with a number of keyboards:
•With a “Code 9” or “Code B” keyboard, with buttons selecting “Video” and ‘Computer”, with “Volume Up/Dn”;
•With a “Code E” keyboard, with buttons selecting “TV”, “Video” and “Computer”, with TV channel Up/Down and Volume control keys. (The TV channel commands send incremental (i.e. up and down) commands), so the limits are set in the panel.)
•No OPT7 handshake mode or power on panel connection blink codes available.
•Freeze command is not available.
