Appendix A:
Compatible Remote Control Format
The following are products whose remote control data format is compatible with
the AVS4.1. The format used by the AVS4.1 is the NEC type with a 38khz carrier
frequency. Many universal or multi-function remote controls are able to be
programmed to emulate the remote control codes from these products. By
configuring your system remote to transmit codes from these products, and
following the steps in the section “Using an Alternate Remote Control” on pages
10-12 to teach your AVS4.1 the new codes, the AVS4.1 will work with many of the
remote controls you already have. This is very advantageous to those with a
master system remote control or those wanting to reduce remote control by
consolidating functions onto fewer remotes. These products are a very small
sample of those whose data format can be recognized by the AVS4.1. Other
settings may be tried, and the default AVS4.1 codes may always be restored by
following the instructions in “Restoring Default Remote Control Codes to the Unit”
on page 12.

Appendix B:
R-S232 Communication Port
The R-S232 port on the AVS4.1 can be used to control all aspects of the unit
including changing inputs, changing the power state, querying the input and power
states, and reading its firmware revision information. The RS232 USART* on the
AVS4.1 operates at 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity bits, which
means that the unit issuing commands must be configured with those settings as
well. All commands issued to the unit should be terminated with a carriage return.
All responses from the unit are terminated with a carriage return followed by a line
feed.
When the power cord is connected to the AVS4.1 (regardless of the power on or off
state), the RS-232 communication port will send the code “AS<cr><lf>” to
acknowledge that the unit’s startup sequence has completed. Once this response
has been received from the AVS4.1, the unit is then ready to perform all functions.
See the following table for a listing of available commands and their arguments.
All commands that do not have some form of default response are acknowledged
with an ‘A’ followed by the associated command character from the table below.
The AVS4.1 has a verbose mode, which is disabled by default, that provides the
status of the input and power state every time the state changes. It is equivalent to
issuing a Get command to return status information. All R-S232 commands are
inhibited while the front input selector button is pressed, such as the case during IR
code programming and reset functions. If commands are sent wholly during these
events, they will be ignored.
