What is the RS-232 string supposed to look like for a Yamaha component when using RS-232? I have tried everything and I am about to give up. Here is the page with their RS-232 codes:

bump. Has anyone done this yet?

I haven't done anything with Yamaha, so I can't be much help there.

I don't see any mention of a null modem in the protocol (sometimes they tell you if a null modem is needed), but I've run across a few products that needed one and said nothing about it.

Make sure that your putting a carriage return (\r) after each command.

All Yamaha products that I have worked with require a null modem.

Krassy, let us know if that solves your problem.

Yamah RS-232 is not compatible with RTI RS-232, it requires RTS/CTS Hardware handshaking and pins 2 3 5 7 8 of a 9 pin d sub connector. I ended up selling the DVD-S2500 and am getting a Pioneer DVD.

Where did you get that info?

Did you try the Null Modem?

Roller, have you controled Yammi products with RTI RS232 before?

I have the null modem, you can actually see the pin assigment on the first page of their RS-232 doc.

Unfortunately, I have not done it with an RTI before. I have only done it with Crestron. I can concur that Yamaha does indeed use pins 7 and 8. I wasn't aware that RTI wasn't capable of handshaking.

I'm just having a hard time believing that the RTI can't control any Yammi products via 232.

Anybody out there had these problems?

Curiosity is killing me!!!!!! Somebody call Matt... QUICK!!!!!

I'm surprised Matt's not on this forum....

Oh, thats all he needs... me fireing questions at him via the web too! :-p

I called Matt this morning. Not only does RTI work with Yamaha receivers over rs232, but that's what they have as thier demo in thier office. He is sending me examples of string formatting. I'll post them here when I get them.

Here's Matt's response, to rs-232 and animation questions:



Hi Nick,



First of all, regarding your message on animated GIF�s on the T3, the T3 will currently not accept this format. Currently, the way to create �animation� is through a series of page links (please see the attached file for a good example. Put into preview mode, and select the windows button for example of animation). We are, however, working on adding support for animated gif�s at some point in the near future (next several months), to make it easier to add animation to the T3 (and all other color products)



Regarding RS-232 for controlling a Yamaha receiver:



Per the Yamaha 232 specs, you will need a null modem between the CM-232 and the receiver, as pin 3 is transmit on both pieces of equipment.



A few examples of command strings (enter the string EXCLUDING the quotations):



Let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks for posting these serial codes here. They have helped me many times in the past. We are working with one of the newer yamaha models (RX-V3800) that has an input called BD\DVD. Does anyone know where to find an updated list of serial codes that has these new inputs?

In particular I need BD\DVD and MD\TAPE (the one above and in rti's 232 database does not work)

Any help would be much appreciated, it's been a long day on site...

Thanks!
