CONTROL COMMAND STRINGS

ZR-6 Response: r[type],[com #],FAIL,[fcode][cr]

rindicates a ZR-6 command response [type] identifies the response type

znc = zone command

znt = zone transport command src = source command

srt = source transport command spc = special command

syc = system command

zsc = zone specific command

[com #], the number of the failed command (see table)

FAIL, indication the command failed

[fcode] code number of the failure type:

1Cannot allocate memory to process message

2Invalid Command

3Incomplete message: missing command

4Incomplete message: missing parameter

5Cannot allocate memory to process command

6Cannot change the zone: invalid zone number

24Invalid parameter: too many dots

25Invalid parameter: must be all numbers

26Menu is not available

27Pound (#) or bytes do not match with the string value bytes that were received

28Menu does not support alphanumeric search

[cr] is a carriage return

8)Erase EEPROM – erases all confi guration input and tuner presets, restoring the ZR-6 to the factory default condition.

NOTE: LEARNED IR COMMANDS ARE NOT ERASED.

Syntax: syc,3,[cr]

syc, indicates the command type (system command)

3, indicates this is an EEPROM erase command

[cr] is a carriage return

EXAMPLE :

Command: syc,3,[cr] (erases the EEPROM)

ZR-6 Response: rsyc,3,[cr] (EEPROM has been erased)

rsyc, identifies a response to a system command

3, indicates the EEPROM was erased

[cr] is a carriage return
