Hello Guys,

I hope you can help. I recently bought the UHD Player Sony UBP-X1000.
I control the device by RS232. The cable is a null modem cable, baud rate 57600, 8 bits, no parity and 1 stop bit. The player settings are set to accept External Control commands.

All my RS232 commands work, except the Power On Command, which is

\x02\x03\x80\x60\x01\x00

This command does NOT WORK.

The Power Off Command, which is \x02\x03\x80\x60\x00\x00 works like a charm.

All the other commands do work as well.

The manual says for RS232 Connection:

Operation in POWER-OFF state

Only "POWER_SET(ON)" can be accepted. Other commands end up no response. Please note that the transition from POWER-OFF state to POWER-ON state takes several minutes. Check the status repeatedly (see "Getting to know POWER-ON/OFF state") until the unit changes to POWER-ON state.

I hope you can help.

Cheers

Quick update after fiddling around. I disconnected the Sony Blurry UHD Player from the power socket. After connecting it again after 20 seconds I tried to send the Power On Command \x02\x03\x80\x60\x01\x00 through RS232.

The command now works. But only one time. After turning the device off, and trying to fire it on with the same command the Player won't turn on???

Strange isn't it???

No one any idea???

It seems to me that your problem comes from the ECO mode of the device.
I am currently looking for RS232 codes for this device. Is it possible to provide them?
To put in ECO mode, it seems to me that I read something of the style in the doc. It's often the same problem, once you're OFF, he listens to nothing. A unplug / replug make a reset and again (for only once) the device listens.
On Samsung, I found a +/- functional solution that consisted of hibernating.

Thank you for the documentation if you can share it.

I was able to send power on, off, toggle as well as eject, open and close commands over and over again. I had read there was a firmware that may have taken care of the issue of it not turning back on again.

How are you parsing the responses back for feedback from the player? I'm using a crestron processor and am kinda of lost on the response side

I am running the latest firmware but still no luck in order to power the device on, through the Rs232 command. The other commands all work perfectly. I searched for a eco mode in the doc but haven't found anything.

When is this industry going to smarten up, don't let a product out to the market unless drivers,232 and ir is written or it doesn't get off the boat.

Hi Guys
Could someone could give me the RS 232 list for the 1000 ES
with the list I have (doesnt work !!) the power on is 02 03 80 60 01 1C
close should be ? 02 03 80 50 01 2C (doesnt work to !)
Thank you !!
Terry

H.C.Service,
The last two numbers are wrong (the checksum), they should be 14.
Here are the working RS-232 (hex) codes I have for the Sony UBP-x1000es.
Power On - 02 03 80 60 01 14
Power Off - 02 03 80 60 00 00
Play - 02 02 80 12 4C
Stop - 02 02 80 14 4A
Pause - 02 02 80 13 4B

Rew (?) - 02 02 80 20 3E

Top Menu - ???
Menu - ???

I could use some help with the Top Menu and Menu commands. Hopefully this helps you guys out.

thank you for your help
to be short the commands of the 1000 ES are the same than 5000 ES
exception for the speed (57600)
Any way the problem of this player is that the power on works only once !
after an power off you cant fire it up again !
you need a wol .....
It seems that power ON works with an IP command
If you have any information......

For the Sony UBP-X1000ES, here are the RS232 commands I have that work (also helpful to know Baud rate is 57600 and check sum is always 00):

*all in hex
Power On: 02 03 80 60 01 00
Power Off: 02 03 80 60 00 00
Eject toggle: 02 03 80 50 02 00
Disc tray open: 02 03 80 50 01 00
Disc tray close: 02 03 80 50 00 00
Play: 02 02 80 12 00
Stop: 02 02 80 14 00
Pause toggle: 02 02 80 13 00
Pause: 02 03 80 57 01 00
Up: 02 02 80 15 00
Down: 02 02 80 19 00
Left: 02 02 80 16 00
Right: 02 02 80 18 00
Top Menu: 02 02 80 1A 00
Menu: 02 02 80 1B 00
Enter: 02 02 80 17 00
Return: 02 02 80 1C 00
FastForward: 02 02 80 21 00
Rewind: 02 02 80 20 00
Next: 02 02 80 11 00
Previous: 02 02 80 10 00

be careful
Power ON works only Once on RS !!
You need WOL to power ON/OFF

Hi,

I am trying to control the player over tcp/ip.

Port number 33336.

When i sent any string the device response whit an error code:\x6E\x75\x6C\x6C\x0A

I thought the TCP/ip codes and RS232 code are similar.

any ideas?

kind regards,
Bruno

I'm moving this up to the top with hopes someone can shed some light on Bruno's problem as I'm running into the same...

Admittedly a complete novice at this, but have ZA2100ES and VPL-VW295ES talking via HEX commands over IP... I can't seen to get the X1100ES to play ball!

Appreciate any insight.

Has anyone written a module to control this via IP? Willing to purchase if it works to save me the time of writing one from scratch.
