Communication Protocol The communication protocol is described below. • When the SRP-X700P has received a command from computer successfully, the SRP-X700P returns “ACK” (Acknowledge). When the SRP-X700P fails to process the command due to reception error or others, it returns “NAK” (Not Acknowledge). • When a computer has sent a command, the computer should wait “ACK” or “NAK” to be returned from the SRP-X700P. Upon receipt of the return, a computer can send the next command. • If a computer do

Command Reference Basic Control Commands The group of the Basic Control Commands contains 12 commands that enable you to perform the basic operations such as changing the sound volume, switching the LINE4 SELECTOR of the SRP-X700P and others. CONTROL S: 43[H] 52[H] 43[H] 53[H] (‘CRCS’) This command is used to control an external equipment that is connected to the CONTROL S terminal of the SRP-X700P. • Packet format 43[H] 52[H] 43[H] 53[H] “parameter” 0D[H] • Parameter The parameter consists of

LEVEL UP: 43[H] 4C[H] 56[H] 2B[H] (‘CLV+’) This command is used to increase the sound volume of the specified channel. When this command is sent, the sound volume keeps increasing. When the LEVEL UP/DOWN STOP command that is described later, is sent, the sound volume stops increasing. Variable range of a sound volume is from –∞ to +10 dB when the sound volume is set to the reference level 0 dB. When the power of the SRP-X700P is turned off, the sound volume level is reset to 0 dB. • Packet form
