#3 What is the function of the RS-232 serial port available on some
Sony products?
IMPORTANT: The RS-232 feature is not part of the normal
operation of the product. As such, any support for using this
port or its functionality is not available. Due to the complexity of
installation and issues that may occur during an installation
using the RS-232 port, it is recommend that it only be completed
by a professional custom installer.
An RS-232 serial port is most often used by repair technicians to
perform diagnostics and service updates. It may also be used to
control a device when connected to a computer running a home
automation system or Custom Integrated Audio/Video (A/V)
system, such as the CAV-M1000ES Multi-room A/V Distribution
System.
NOTE: Not all Sony® products have an RS-232 serial port jack.
Refer to the operating instructions supplied with your product
for detailed information on the available features and
capabilities. Manuals are posted on your model support page.
