Cisco TP Codec C20 not being able to talk CEC with LG LCD screens

[mguguvcevski]

I was awaiting for the CEC on/stand by possibilities of the TC4.2.1 software for a while only to find out that it does not work with LG CEC (aka SimpLink), but on the other hand it works fine with Sony's BRAVIA Sync.

Has anyone encountered this same issue ?

Hello Mihail,

We have also tested with LG SimpLink and it is sending vendor specific commands and will not reply to stand-by requests.  This limitation will be added to the release notes.

Thank you!

Thank you Paula,

It was a little bit misleading, given the fact that the same release notes say, that LG SimpLink is supported, but it is actually not in the real world. It would be probably much nicer to correct this issue and of course correct the release notes in short term.

This, of course, does not only apply to the C20, but C series in general - I'm told Cisco is raising this issue with LG.
