Hi,

?

i?m currently having an issue controlling a Marantz SR7400 at a client?s site.

It was connected and controlled via RS232 up to now, but the RS232 seems to be broken now.

So i have to switch to IR control.

I?ve tried the drivers that come with the SIMPL database, but they don?t seem to work properly.

Power, volume, mute don?t work at all, the discrete keys for selecting radio presets work, but the sequence is screwed up (at least it shows, that it?s not a hardware or communication issue as it works in general).

?

I found a IR driver from 2004 in the groups filebase (upload by Tony Golden). I?ll give that a try – anything special I need to know about that driver?

Thanks,

Thorsten

?Did something happen physically to the serial port? “

I don?t know. It?s an old install and i?m currently doing a refactoring of the old programming.

The Marantz is just used to power some outdoor speakers and it wasn?t used for quite some time.

The client has an inhouse technician who tried to get it back to work but no luck.

?

So I just want to quickly switch to IR as an interim solution until we do a rework of the audio system.

Cheers,

Thorsten
