XDS1 CD/SACD PLAYER OWNER’S MANUAL

Serial Remote Control (RS232)

The XDS1 is equipped with a 9-pin RS232 port for system remote control via a serial cable

(not provided by EMM Labs). Please use a standard RS232 cable. Do not use a null model

cable, as this will not work. RS232 communication port settings:

• 19,200 baud

• 8 bits

• 1 stop bit

• no flow control

• no parity bit

Commands to the XDS1

All commands sent to the XDS1 consist of 3 ASCII characters (all lowercase) followed by a

carraige return or . Repeating a will repeat the last command sent. Received

commands are not stored in a stack. They need to be sent in intervals of at least 50ms to

allow enough time for the XDS1 to execute a command before receiving the next one.
