RS-232 Connection
and Port Configuration

To interface the Q-750i with a home theater automation/control system or a PC running
terminal emulation software:

1. Connect it to your control system or PC as shown in Figure 3-11.

2. Start a terminal session on your PC using a terminal-emulation program, such as

HyperTerminal.

3. Configure the RS-232 controller or PC serial port as follows: 38400 bps, no parity, 8

data bits, 1 stop bit and no flow control.

4. Type

ky or op followed by a command from among those listed in Table 6-1 or

Table 6-2 and press

<Enter>. For example, to change the aspect ratio to Letterbox,

type

op aspect = 1<Enter>.

6.2
Serial Command
Syntax

Serial commands to the Q-750i take the following form:

• Commands are in ASCII format.

• Spaces and tabs can be used to improve readability and are ignored by the projector.

• All commands must end with a carriage return (ASCII hex 0D) to signify that the

projector can now read and execute the command.

• Commands are not case-sensitive.

The Q-750i supports two types of commands: key commands and operation commands.
Key commands mimic pressing a button on the remote control. Operation commands tell
the projector exactly what to do.

All commands start with 2 letters:

ky for key commands.

op for operations commands.

Key Commands

The syntax for key commands is simple:

ky <keyname>[CR]

Some key command examples:

ky menu[CR]

Bring up or cancel menu display.

ky mem.sw[CR]

Switch to next user memory.

ky asp.16.9[CR]

Apply 16:9 aspect ratio.

The response from the projector for key commands will be the same command in
UPPERCASE.

Input:

ky mem.sw[CR]

Response:

KY MEM.SW [CR]
