5. Maintenance and Troubleshooting Regular cleaning will extend the life and performance of the CX-70DHD. Before cleaning, be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet. Do not under any circumstances use solvents such as benzene or thinner to clean the CX-70DHD. Doing so may cause deterioration or peeling of paint from the display or remote control unit. 5.1 Cleaning Cleaning the Display Panel Body and Remote Control EL IM IN A R Y Wipe the display and remote control gently with a soft cloth.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting Table 5-1. Troubleshooting Chart (continued) Symptom Possible Cause(s) • Faulty or incorrect video connection between the DHD Controller and the CX-70DHD. • Ensure that the HDMI output from the DHD Controller is properly connected to the DVI IN input on the CX-70DHD (see Figure 3-4). The display is on and menus appear, but there is no picture. • Incorrect source selection. • Source component is not turned on. • Source component is connected incorrectly or not at all.
6. External Control In addition to using the DHD Controller front-panel keypad or remote control unit, there are two methods of controlling the CX-70DHD and DHD Controller externally: • Using a serial (RS-232) link to send ASCII commands and receive responses to those commands. • Using discrete infrared (IR) codes to program a third-party remote control unit. EL IM IN A R Y The following sections describe both of these methods.
External Control Table 6-1 lists the RS-232 command set. The “Parameter (min/max)” column shows the valid parameter ranges, or “NA” for commands that take no parameters. When you enter a valid command, the DHD Controller executes it and acknowledges it with a plus sign on the command line (+ >). When you enter an invalid command – one that is misspelled or followed by values outside the valid range for that command – the DHD Controller ignores it and returns a minus sign (- >). Table 6-1.
External Control Table 6-1.
External Control Table 6-1.
External Control Table 6-1.
External Control 6.2 Using Discrete IR Codes The DHD Controller accepts commands in the form of IR signals that conform to the Phillips RC5 protocol. Each DHD Controller remote control button has an RC5 control code associated with it. You can use these codes to program a third-party, “universal” remote control unit to work with the DHD Controller. These third-party products usually come with a computer software application for this purpose.
