Concert AVR-1 Automation Integration
Automation Integration
Part of the joy of a great home theater is that you don’t have a tray of
remote controls staring at you whenever you want to watch a movie. Hid-
den away behind the scenes is a workhorse that takes care of the mundane
tasks of turning on all the components, lowering the curtains, dimming
the lights, popping the corn, etc. This faithful servant can take the form of
a simple learning remote control or a system as capable as a whole house
automation system with touch screens. There are a wide variety of theater
controllers available.
There are two means of remotely controlling the Concert AVR-1: With In-
frared (IR) Remote control and with the RS-232 Serial Port. The Concert
AVR-1 RS-232 command set also takes advantage of the extensive discrete
IR command library with the IR simulation command. This adds a great
deal of flexibility to system design, general functionality and personal cus-
tomization. It is possible to use both hand held remotes and control panels
in the same installation depending on your needs.
RS-232 Serial Control
You must set the external RS-232 control system serial port of your control
system to match the data communication speed and format of the Con-
cert AVR-1. If these settings are not correct, the Concert AVR-1 will not
respond to the commands.
