Onkyo TX-NR1009 Control


 

Hi All,
I have a project coming up with this Onkyo AVR.
I haven't done an Onkyo for 15 years!!
It is an older unit of course so I'm curious what control media and module others would recommend for reliable communications...
TIA!

I still have an older Onkyo TX-NR575 and it works fine to control that model using the Integra DTR-80.3 IP v1.2 module.? Onkyo is (or at least used to be) the direct to consumer brand for Integra and used the same control protocols.? The only issue is that if, for some reason, the Onkyo loses power the module needs to be reinitialized or it won't control the Onkyo.? I don't have any fancy hardware / code to detect a power outage and do this automatically.? I'll simply press the software reset button on the processor to get things working again.? This is a rare occurrence for me but it is something you / your client should be aware of.

Hope this helps

Jay

Thanks Jay,
Yeah I'll have to test that with this model. Pushing the reset is definitely only for guys like you and me in our own homes. I wouldn't want that issue with a client.
I'm wondering if I should go with serial control??...


 


Oh I totally agree.? I wouldn¡¯t do this for a customer. A relay with a 110vac coil wired to the power line and the contacts wired to a digital input on the processor is an easy way of sensing a power outage if the processor is on a UPS.? Then it becomes easy to manage reinitializing communications. ?

I don¡¯t remember if RS-232 works more reliably than IP.

Over the years I've had 2 Onkyo's and moved on to a integra.? The serial protocol is the same.? Was plug and play each time I swapped on out.? Have never had a problem with it.? The only thing that I remember was if in calibration mode I needed to use the factory remote.


 

Cool. You were controlling it via RS232?


 

Yes.
