Denon Blu Ray3800BBDCI

I am having issues getting control over this BluRay. Has anyone ever controlled on of these? If so could someone some sample code?

I tried the Include file that is floating around the forums with no luck.

TIA

Some where in the middles of this page TonyAngelo posted a module for this which is what I've been using. Its complete with open com module/code so you can tailor it for your future needs.

I am using a modified version of it as well, as so far so good, thanks Tony!. I have found one bug and that is when the Blu-ray outputs Dolby TrueHD, the module seems to think its Dolby Digital. I am sure its a minor issue, but I haven't had time to look into it.

I tried using this but I'm not getting any information back from the device, I'm thinking its a cable issue but I'm not onsite.

Can someone verify that I have the baud right?

        SEND_COMMAND DATA.DEVICE,'SET BAUD 9600,E,8,1 485 Disable'
	SEND_COMMAND DATA.DEVICE,'HSOFF'
	SEND_COMMAND DATA.DEVICE,'XOFF'

That looks fine. Don't forget you have to send it a status request command which is button 307 I believe in Tony's module.

Yes, I think in later versions I send this command any time I receive a power-on message, but it may not be that way in the version I posted. It is an include file though, so you can change it to suit your needs.
