Macros

# UNRESOLVED: no multi-step macro sequences described in source

Safety

confirmation_required_for: []
interlocks:
  - description: "Wait 1 second after sending PWON before transmitting next command"
    source: "Source note J: 1 second later, please transmit the next COMMAND after transmitting a power on COMMAND (PWON)"
  - description: "Send commands at 50ms or greater intervals"
    source: "Source: Send the COMMAND in 50ms or more intervals"
# UNRESOLVED: no explicit safety interlock or power-on sequencing beyond the 1s PWON delay

Notes

Command structure: 2-character ASCII command code + parameter (up to 25 chars) + CR (0x0D).
Request/response pattern: append ? to command to query current state; response returned within 200ms.
Events are unsolicited messages sent within 5 seconds of a state change (front panel / remote operation).
Volume encoding: 80=0dB, 00=---(MIN), 98=+18dB. 0.5dB steps use 3-character parameters (e.g. 805=-0.5dB).
Channel volume range: 38-62 ASCII, 50=0dB.
Max communication data length: 135 bytes.
RS-232C connector: DB-9pin female (DCE), pins 1=GND, 2=TxD, 3=RxD, 5=Common(GND).
Ethernet: RJ-45 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX, TCP port 23 (telnet).
Commands are receivable during EVENT transmission (full note A in source).
Channel volume events return automatically when input source changes if channel volumes differ between sources (notes B-F).

Known Gaps

- "exact DN-V500BD feature subset not stated — source is a generic Denon AVR protocol doc covering many models; which commands the DN-V500BD actually responds to is not specified"
- "no multi-step macro sequences described in source"
- "no explicit safety interlock or power-on sequencing beyond the 1s PWON delay"
- "exact DN-V500BD command subset — source is a multi-model AVR protocol doc, not DN-V500BD-specific"
- "firmware version compatibility not stated"
- "which surround modes and zone commands the DN-V500BD supports specifically"
- "whether DN-V500BD supports Zone 2/3, HD Radio, network streaming commands"
