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:

    http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pio/pe/images/portal/cit_3424/292445008PDP614MX_ECM.pdf

    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).

    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_daveavi_dave Junior Member
    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.
