  • Page 5: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION The purpose of this document is to describe how the serial control interface of the device works. SERIAL SETTINGS The port settings should always be 8 data bits, no parity and one stop bit. The baud rate can be changed from the user interface. Supported speeds are 9600 (default), 19200, 38400, 57600 and 115200 bits per second.
  • Page 6 changing (not every volume increment is sent, volume status is sent in 100ms intervals). Feedback level 2: Each command is echoed back with the ‘#’ in front of the command instead of ‘!’ character. For example command “!VOL?<CR>” would return “#VOL?<CR>!VOL(XX)<CR>”.

  • Page 22: Serial Protocol Usage

    SERIAL PROTOCOL USAGE Controlling power Main zone and zone 2 power can be controlled separately with commands !POWERONMAIN<CR>, !POWEROFFMAIN<CR>, !POWERONZONE2<CR> and !POWEROFFZONE2<CR>. Please note that zone 2 setup has a power setting that can be set to “Follow Main” or “Independent”. When this power setting is set to “Follow Main”, zone 2 power commands control also main zone power and vice versa.

    volume status messages. This period is used not to flood the serial interface with too frequent volume updates every time volume is being adjusted. Commands !ZVOL+<CR>, !ZVOL-<CR>, !ZVOL+(X)<CR>, !ZVOL- (X)<CR>, !ZVOL(Y)<CR>, !ZVOL?<CR>, !ZMUTEON<CR>, !ZMUTEOFF<CR> and !ZMUTE<CR> are used to control zone 2 volume the same way as main zone volume.

  • Page 24: Controlling Processing Modes

    Controlling processing modes The P1 processor has two possible operating modes for controlling audio processing mode. When special “Audio Modes” are not used (“Use Audio Modes” in “Audio Mode Setup” is set to “No”), all Dolby, DTS etc.
  • Page 25 Please note that in this document “Audio Mode” refers to the special Audio Modes and “processing mode” refers to the traditional Dolby and DTS post-processing modes. Audio Modes not used (“Use Audio Modes” in “Audio Mode Setup” is set to “No”) Command !AUDMODEL?<CR>...
  • Page 26 Commands !AUDMODE+<CR> and !AUDMODE-<CR> are used to select next and previous processing mode from the list of currently available processing modes. Note: This is only true when Audio Modes are not used (see below “Audio Modes used”). Command !AUDMODE(X)<CR> is used to select a specific processing mode, where is a processing mode number as seen from Table 1 from 3.2.2.
  • Page 27 Modes to give priority to the preferred processing modes (see Installers Manual for more information). Command !MODECATS?<CR> can be used to get a list of Audio Modes configured for the system. For example a response for !MODECATS?<CR> could be: !MODECATCOUNT(4)<CR> !MODECAT(1)"Movie"<CR>...

  • Page 28: Controlling Focus Positions

    Update the list of used Audio Modes at least on every boot-up. There is no separate notification delivered when the installer changes the configuration of Audio Modes. Please note that direct processing mode selection is still possible through the serial protocol even if Audio Modes are being used. Selecting direct processing mode in this case is not recommended since the user interface might show mismatching Audio Mode and actual processing mode.

  • Page 29: Controlling Voicings

    Controlling voicings Command !RPVOIS?<CR> is used to find out the list of selectable voicings along with their names. For example a response for !RPVOIS<CR> is: !RPVOICOUNT(7)<CR> !RPVOI(0)"Neutral"<CR> !RPVOI(1)"Music"<CR> !RPVOI(2)"Music II"<CR> !RPVOI(3)"Relaxed"<CR> !RPVOI(4)"Tilt"<CR> !RPVOI(5)"Action"<CR> !RPVOI(6)"Action+Movie"<CR> It can be seen from the response that there are 7 voicings, named “Neutral”, “Music”, “Music II”, “Relaxed”, “Tilt”, “Action”...

    negative values depending on the “processor delay” setting, the range can always be retrieved with the !LIPSYNCRANGE?<CR> command. For example if the “processor delay” is set to 200ms and the range is 250ms, the LIPSYNCRANGE command will return !LIPSYNCRANGE(250,- 200,50)<CR>. Please note that the lipsync trim setting is cleared on every source change, so it is recommended to read the current lipsync setting every time source is changed (!SRC(X)”NAME”<CR>...
