Does anyone have the documentation for the serial commands?
I‘d like to control my DFP-D3000 from my AP20.

Best regards,
Sascha

I've never seen the command set but I'm sure it exists because some automations like the Pennywise could talk to it. I recall that part of the communication was knowing the serial number of the unit (one had to input the serial number of the SDDS into the Pennywise automation in order for it to talk to it).

I checked Panastereo's Serial Talk and there isn't a comm sheet for the SDDS (they made a nifty serial communication program that was very handy to me for testing serial set ups before going live. They also included a list of several communication sets since they also had their own automation system. The likes of the Dolby processors were included in that as well as some slide projectors and video projectors).
