- Reserved, always set to 0.

The 2nd parameter is a “Backup Control Settings” flag. If it is non-zero, then the current settings 

will be backed up in EEPROM, and will remain unchanged through a power failure. Backing up 

the “

Control Settings

” will also backup the “

Extended Control Settings

”. If the second param-

eter is not given, then it is assumed to be 0.
The IR control (IR) and the IR jack (IJ), work differently when disabled. Disabling IR control, by 

setting the ‘IR’ bit to zero, keeps the CVS4 from responding to IR codes, however the front panel 

sensor remains operational and any codes received can still be queried for by using the “IR ?” 

command. Disabling the IR jack, by setting the ‘IJ’ bit to zero, completely disables the IR jack. IR 

commands are no longer be received through the IR jack if the ‘IJ’ bit has been set to zero.

Extended Control Settings

In the Asynchronous mode of operation, the CVS4 will transmit state changes as they occur. 

This command allows individual control over which state changes will be sent.
This CVS4 allows control over the following states:

Power State changes (On / Off condition).

Selection changes (input / output mapping changes).

Front Panel modes and intensity changes

Front Panel Button Presses.

IR codes received.

New IR codes learned.

Control Settings changes.

Each of the above  states can be selectively set to asynchronously transmit their state changes, 

or run in the Master / Slave mode. If asynchronous transmit has been disabled for one of the 

options, then that option will revert to the Master / Slave mode.
The ‘AS’ in the 

“Control Settings”

 command must be set to ‘1’ to allow any Asynchronous
