The Suite 7.1 surround sound preamplifier provides an RS-232 connection through the ISO-CAT II or 
ISO-232 isolation box.  This serial connection to the 

g!

 system provides full two-way communications, 

enabling reliable control as well as providing feedback to the 

g!

 system when changes (such as the 

current source or volume levels) occur at the receiver.
