First Real Project Help

I went to Programmer 1 months ago and have slept many times since. So my knowledge has rusted shut. So I am trying to interact with a dvx and serial port 4 on it. I am controlling a Denon DN-500BD. I can't find a module so was planning on writing controls for it. My problem is I can't seem to get it to respond. Below is some information I have setup. I have even shorted pins 2 and 3 to see if I could get any information back from the port and have had zero luck. I am guessing I am missing something obvious but tired of pulling out what little hair I have. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Thom

I think you forgot $0D at the end of the string.
Try this:
SEND_STRING dvBluray_Serial,"'@023PW',$0D" // power on
SEND_STRING dvBluray_Serial,"'@02312',$0D" // power off
Watch the Tx led on your serial port-4, does it blink? (transmit from AMX).
Watch the Rx led on your serial port-4, does it blink? (answer from Denon).
No, be sure you use a 1:1 cable (pin 2,3,5)
Also if there is a "power save on" in the Denon menu, switch it off (if so power off command will always work, power on not).
Goodluck.

Now I will search the forum on creating modules so I can build all the code for feedback....

Oh, there are lots of exciting moments coming to you - like...
"The Lights Came ON!!!"
"The Pool temp incremented!"
"The CODEC Dialed OUT!!!"
etc....
"I'm sorry officer, I forgot to have them put the alarm system in test mode..."
"I'm sorry Mr Client, I know you're trying to run a busy venue / building / Casino, that latest code dump that turned off lighting across the entire premises was unintended".
The only major difference between resi and commercial is the number of phone calls and emails you get from the client per issue.
