Definition

AICH?

0x91

Command Packet:

The controller sends no
<Param> character in the
command packet.

This command causes the
CAT 860 to return a query
response packet where
the <Param> contains the
selection status set by AICH
(<0x90>).

If the command is not
received properly, the CAT
860 responds by sending a
<NACK> character.

Response Packet:

The CAT 860 sends only
one <Param> character in
the response packet. The
possible values are shown
below:

0x80 = TV/VCR

0x81 = CD/DVD

0x82 = COMPUTER

0x83 = AUX IN

0x84 = IR Channel A

0x85 = IR Channel B

0x86 = AUX OUT
