4.2 Setting commands 

Most of the HD-R1’s settings can be configured remotely. Their parameter IDs and acceptable values are defined in 
the following tables. With some exceptions, all parameters may both be set and queried with a command. Although 
they are not case sensitive, blank spaces within parameter IDs and setting values must be exactly as shown.   
 
The format for setting commands is the same as for others as shown in the example below.
