You should be able to pull it out of the serial connection as part of a status message you poll with an oscillator you enable when the BD is the active source. It may take a couple iterations of serial substring
to get the right section of the status.
Basic topic for most of you, but how would you suggest I get the time elapsed/remaining Rx from my Denon
DN-500BD MKII Blu Ray into an analog join displaying time format? I don't know SIMPL+, and guess that's probably the likely route, but any help is greatly appreciated.
