To interface the LS-HB with a home theater automation/control system or a PC running
terminal emulation software:
1. Connect it to your control system or PC as shown in Figure 3-13.
2. Start a terminal session on your PC using a terminal-emulation program, such as
HyperTerminal.
3. Configure the RS-232 controller or PC serial port as follows: 38400 bps, no parity, 8
data bits, 1 stop bit and no flow control.
4. Type ky or op followed by a command from among those listed in Table 6-1 or
Table 6-2 and press <Enter>. For example, to change the aspect ratio to Letterbox,
type op aspect = 1<Enter>.
Serial commands to the LS-HB take the following form:
• Commands are in ASCII format.
• Spaces and tabs can be used to improve readability and are ignored by the projector.
• All commands must end with a carriage return (ASCII hex 0D) to signify that the
projector can now read and execute the command.
• Commands are not case-sensitive.
The LS-HB supports two types of commands: key commands and operation commands.
Key commands mimic pressing a button on the remote control. Operation commands tell
the projector exactly what to do.
All commands start with 2 letters:
ky for key commands.
op for operations commands.
The syntax for key commands is simple:
ky <keyname>[CR]
Some key command examples:
ky menu[CR]
ky mem.sw[CR]
ky asp.16.9[CR]
The response from the projector for key commands will be the same command in
UPPERCASE.
Input: ky mem.sw[CR]
Response: KY MEM.SW [CR]
