Denon AVC-A10H_EU Control Spec

Summary

AV receiver with multi-zone audio/video control. Supports RS-232C and Ethernet (TCP/IP) control via ASCII commands terminated with CR (0x0D). Telnet on port 23. No authentication required. Supports power, volume, input routing, surround mode, tuner, USB/iPod, Bluetooth, HD Radio, and system menu control across Main Zone, Zone 2, and Zone 3.
