pdp-614MX

I have tried everything to control this plasma even called tech support for it and they said hey there is no real documentation on it. I dug up a pdf checksum file on it but it doesnt seem to want to do what I need. I throw codes out at its default rate which is 9600 I get nothing I tried 38400 I get sometimes 0s or a ACK but no change on the display has anybody encounter this display maybe you can help me out.

This seems to have everything you should need:

You may also need to set the ID & Baud Rate in the menu on the actual panel itself. A lot of Pioneer displays default at 4800 (although this manual says 9600).

avi_dave

nope

I tried all that, I even asked the dealer if he could point me to the menu where I can set the baud rate he said there is no service or ccommunications menu.

checksum calcualted and everything, did I miss something?

nON = "$9F,$80,$60,$4E,$00,$CD"
nOFF = "$9F,$80,$60,$4F,$00,$CE"
nVID = "$DF,$80,$60,$47,$01,$01,$08"
nRGB = "$DF,$80,$60,$47,$01,$07,$0E"
nCOMP = "$DF,$80,$60,$47,$01,$05,$0C"

even at 4800 nothing came outta this baby, im stuck :P.

If you push and hold menu/set for a few seconds while no input is connected, you should get an 2nd info screen up (not the input params), exit this with another menu / set then menu again...

What ID do you have set at the mo?

avi_dave

its on auto, I tried 1 but didnt work so I went back to auto becuase its 1 display

Scrub that last - thats for Pioneers, this is the old NEC 61" - thought I'd see those strings before.

Baud is certainly 9600

Power On
SEND_STRING dvPlasma,"$9F,$80,$60,$4E,$00,$CD"
Power Off
"$9F,$80,$60,$4F,$00,$CE"

Your strings look ok, have you tried sending them from a terminal?

Have you got some code to look at?

Just on the off chance set Parity to Odd rather than none

I have some old code for the NEC which I know works and that uses

DATA_EVENT [dvPlasma]
{
ONLINE:
{
SEND_COMMAND dvPlasma, 'SET BAUD 9600,O,8,1 485 DISABLE'
}
}

hmm that prob might work because both monitors are the same, same protocols and everything so ill try the odd 2morrow, thx.
