3.2Explanation of command types and concrete examples Input commands

Parameter query

When the input message command field contains a “?” (question mark), the message is a parameter query command. If a parameter is not recognized or does not support this function, the HD-R1 will return an error message. Otherwise, it will respond with the current value of the parameter. The following is an example of a command that requests the current value of a parameter and the response from the HD-R1.

Input Source?

Input Source=Analog/Mic

Set parameter

When the input message contains an equal sign in the command field, the message is a set parameter command. When the HD-R1 receives a set parameter command, it will set the parameter as requested if conditions make it possible and the value is valid. If the parameter is set successfully, the HD-R1 will not respond. If the parameter is not recognized or the value is not valid, it will respond with an error. Usually, character strings for the parameter IDs and their values match the text shown on the LCD user interface screen. The following is an example of a command that sets a parameter.
