Re: help with onkyo "remote interactive"

[Bengt M. <bu...@be...>]

I have successfully managed to control an Onkyo TX-SV9041 (dating from 
the time when Dolby Prologic was the finest thing on earth) with the 
so-called MR-connectors. This is just the modulated IR-signal inverted. 
However, the RI is probably a different animal.

<guessing_mode>
Most likely, they just contain the ir-signal, with or (like Sony 
Control-S format) without the modulation frequency, possibly inverted. I 
severly doub that it has anything to do with RS232. Got a 'scope?
