I am swapping out some Sony receivers at a clients home. They previously had STR-DA3300ES and STR-DA4300ES receivers. I am swapping them out for 3400ES and 4400ES receivers. All the serial commands in their system controller seem to work correctly other than the AM/FM presets. In the main system controller these were called using the following structure:

02, 04, a1, 42, 01, 01, 17 (For Preset A1)

After looking at the Sony RS-232 protocol manual I'm not sure this was the correct way to do this but it worked with the old receivers. I think the issue lies with the fact that these receivers do not use the A 0-9, B 0-9, C 0-9 presets like the older Sony receivers. These now have 30 presets for each tuner. I have tried modifying the hex to reflect what I believe needs to be done according to the protocol spec but there is no example for the BAND bank type only the SHIFT bank type.

If any one has any thougts please let me know.

I have tried the following:
2, 4, A1, 42, 10, 01, 08

Joe

is there any one know if is possible to a direct string for station??? Ex.: 105,1fm, or only Preset stations is possible????

Regards,
Rafael

Direct Set Tuning 105.1 = 02,05,A1,43,00,29,0E,E0

02 = STX (message start)
05 = Message length
A1 = Tuner request
43 = Direct Set Tuning
00 = FM (01 = AM)
29, 0E = Frequency
E0 = Checksum

You can use windows calculator in scientific view to get the frequency. For AM make sure Dec is selected, type in the frequency and select Hex. For FM make sure Dec is selected, type in the frequency then multiply by 100 then select Hex.

For the checksum set up windows calculator select Hex and Byte. Add the bytes together starting with message length then click Not then add 1

Thanks Joe, I've tried several times to find this codes.

Reviving an old thread, but it's still relevant.

Trying to find RS232 commands for a Sony DA3300ES Receiver for switching to inputs HDMI1, HDMI2, and HDMI3. In the Remote Central File library, there are a few file sets but I can't locate the codes for these three specific functions.

Appreciate your help in advance!

[Link: files.remotecentral.com]

you need to look at the following sheet in the zip file
rs232c_amp_100223.xls

goto tab ZoneInputSel

0x00:main,
0x01:2nd,
0x02:3rd,
0x03～ reserved

choose what zone you need, and send command,
au_func
２１：HDMI1
２２：HDMI2
２３：HDMI3
２４：HDMI4
２５：HDMI5
２６：HDMI6

goto tab

choose what zone you need, and send command

there was a program ES-Presso that allowed control via rs232 check out
