Connecting to the RS-232 Port
A 9-pin RS-232 port is located on the right-hand side of the Home
Theater Standard 7.1 back panel. Make sure the clamping screws
(or thumbscrews) securely fasten the connection cable from the
external computer-based device to the RS-232 port on the Home
Theater Standard 7.1.
Refer to the operating manual of your external computer-based
device for instructions on connecting to the Home Theater
Standard 7.1.
To wire the male connector, follow these steps:
1. Locate the pin numbers on the male connector plug
(not shown).
2. Locate the pinout numbers on the female connector.
(See Pinout Signal list below).
3. Wire the male connector, matching the pin numbers on
the connector plug to the pinout numbers on the female
connector. Only three signals are necessary: 2=Received
