To interface the RS-1100 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: no parity, 8 data bits, 1
stop bit and no flow control. Set the baud rate to match that of the projector (115200,
38400 or 9600).
4. Press <Enter>. You should see a command prompt (>) in the terminal window.
5. Type a command from among those listed in Table 6-1 and press <Enter>. For
example, to change the aspect ratio to Letterbox, type x063x <Enter>.
