The VSX system can receive closed captioning from equipment connected
directly to the RS-232 serial port, or from a captioning service via modem or
VSX Web.
To connect a modem to receive closed captioning:
1. Connect a null modem adapter to the RS-232 serial port.
2. Connect an RS-232 cable to the modem and to the null modem adapter.
3. Connect the modem to a phone line.
You may need to configure the modem to answer automatically. You may also
need to configure it to ignore DTR signals.
You must set the baud rate of the RS-232 serial port and the modem to the same
speed. You will also need to configure the RS-232 serial port for Closed
Caption. Refer to Configuring for Use with a Modem
You can connect an AMX or Crestron control panel to the system's RS-232
serial port as part of a custom room installation. You will need to program the
control panel. Refer to the Integrator's Reference Manual for the VSX Series for
information about the API commands.
The VSX 8000 system provides a connector for an external IR sensor. Refer to
your system's setup sheet for connection details.
