It is called Power On and Off Power On takes the form of: 02H 00H 00H 00H 00H 02H Power off takes the form of: 02H 01H 00H 00H 00H 03H The first two bytes are the commands, the middle bytes are the projector ID, Model Code, Data Length (00 in this case so no Data byte) and then the Check sum...which they are only interested in the lower 8 bits in each word. My guess is that series 1 would be the same though I know the port numbers are different between series 1 and series 2.  |  IP: Logged Kevin Macdonald Film Handler Posts: 10 From: Edinburgh/ Scotland, uk Registered: Apr 2009 posted 08-17-2012 02:04 PM                    Thanks for the reply and yes you are correct the nec does list a power up and a power off and whilst the power off works however the power on doesn't. I was just wondering if anybody had managed to make it work.  |  IP: Logged
