Hi irsjd79,

I don't have the Sony unit "hooked up" to the pc. I control the Sony unit via IR. I use a movie database called Movie Collector to execute a script that "talks" to an universal IR remote control software called IRCommand2. The IRCommand2 sends the proper IR signals to activate and control not only the Sony unit but tv, audio receiver, etc. via a unit called USB UIRT.

There is no earthy way to connect a pc to the Sony unit as it lacks of such connectivity. The only external ways to "talk" to the Sony unit is either the keyboard (text entry) port or an IR remote control.

Please, send me a PM if you wish to have detailed information.
