RS-232C Port Specifications

■PC control of the TV

•The TV can be controlled from a PC using the RS-232C terminal.

•Use a cross-type RS-232C cable (commercially available) for the connections.

•This operation system should be used by a person who is accustomed to using computers.

■Communication conditions

Set the RS-232C communication settings on the PC to match the TV's communication conditions.

The TV's communication settings are as follows:

Baud rate:	9,600 bps
Data length:	8 bits
Parity bit:	None
Stop bit:	1 bit
Flow control:	None

■Communication procedure

Send the control commands from the PC via the RS-232C connector.

The TV operates according to the received command and sends a response message to the PC.

Do not send multiple commands at the same time.

Wait until the PC receives the OK response before sending the next command.

■Command format

Eight ASCII codes e CR

C1 C2 C3 C4 P1 P2 P3 P4

Command 4-digits Parameter 4-digits Return code

Command 4-digits: Command. The text of four characters.

Parameter 4-digits: Parameter 0–9, x, blank, ?

■Parameter

Input the parameter values, aligning left, and fi ll with blank(s) for the remainder. (Be sure that 4 values are input for the parameter.)

When the input parameter is not within an adjustable range, “ERR” returns. (Refer to “Response code format”.)

Any numerical value can replace the “x” on the table.

0				When “?” is input for some
				commands, the
0	0	0	9	present setting value	?
				responds.
