Denon AVR-S700W RS-232 / IP control commands

Summary

This spec covers the Denon AVR control protocol (Ver.06, last updated Jun 30, 2015) for the AVR-S700W, S900W, X1100W, X2100W, X3100W, X4100W, X5200W, X7200W, and X7200A AV receivers. Control is available via RS-232C serial (subset of models) and Ethernet TCP/IP (all models). Commands follow an ASCII-based structure: COMMAND (2 chars) + PARAMETER (up to 25 chars) + CR (0x0D). The protocol supports power, volume, input selection, surround mode, zone control (Zone 2, Zone 3), tuner, and various DSP/parameter settings.

Transport

protocols:
  - serial
  - tcp
serial:
  baud_rate: 9600
  data_bits: 8
  parity: none
  stop_bits: 1
  flow_control: none  # source states "Non procedural"
addressing:
  port: 23  # stated in source: "TCP port 23 (telnet)"
auth:
  type: none  # inferred: no auth procedure in source

Traits

- powerable    # inferred from power command examples (PWON, PWSTANDBY)
- queryable    # inferred from query command examples (PW?, MV?, SI?, etc.)
- routable     # inferred from input selection and zone routing commands
- levelable    # inferred from master volume, channel volume, tone control commands

# UNRESOLVED: No discrete settable-parameter section beyond actions; all adjustable parameters
# are controlled via action commands above. Remove section if not applicable.

Events

- id: state_change_event
  description: "EVENT messages sent by AVR when its state changes (same format as COMMAND/RESPONSE). Examples: surround mode change triggers MS{mode} event; input change triggers CV channel events for all active channels. EVENT must be sent within 5 seconds of state change."
- id: channel_volume_event
  description: "CVFL/CVFR/etc. events sent automatically when input source changes (all active channel volumes returned). CVEND<CR> terminates the sequence."

Notes

Command structure: COMMAND (2 ASCII chars) + PARAMETER (up to 25 ASCII chars) + CR (0x0D). Total max data length 135 bytes. Only ASCII 0x20-0x7F plus CR (0x0D as delimiter) are used.

Protocol modes:

COMMAND: controller to AVR
EVENT: AVR to controller when state changes (same format as COMMAND, sent within 5s of change)
RESPONSE: AVR reply to a request command (COMMAND + ? + CR); sent within 200ms of receiving request

Request queries: Append ? to any command that supports it: e.g. PW?<CR>, MV?<CR>, SI?<CR>.

Volume encoding: Master volume 00-98 (ASCII). 80=0dB, 00=minimum (---dB). For 0.5dB steps, use 3-character parameter (e.g. MV795=-0.5dB, MV805=+0.5dB). At whole-dB steps, use 2-character parameter.

Channel volume encoding: 38-62 ASCII (50=0dB). Subwoofer also accepts 00=OFF.

Ethernet / Network Standby: Must set "Network > IP Control" to "Always On" to respond to commands during standby.

RS-232C availability: RS-232C connector is DB-9 female, DCE type (pins: 1=GND, 2=TxD, 3=RxD, 5=Common GND, 4/6/7/8/9=NC). Only available on AVR-X2100W (North America), X3100W, X4100W, X5200W, X7200W/A. AVR-S700W and X1100W are Ethernet-only.

Timing: Send COMMAND intervals of 50ms or more. Commands are receivable during EVENT transmission.

Model-specific commands: Many commands are model-specific (indicated by ○/-in the source tables). Notably: PHONO input on X3100W/X4100W/X5200W/X7200W only; Subwoofer 2 on X4100W/X5200W/X7200W only; Zone 3 on X4100W/X5200W/X7200W only; Auro-3D commands on X4100W/X5200W/X7200W only; Trigger 2 on X4100W/X5200W/X7200W only.

Protocol version: Ver.06, document ID AVR-S700_S900_X1100_X2100_X3100_X4100_X5200_X7200_PROTOCOL_V06, last updated Jun 30, 2015.

Known Gaps

- "Not all models support all commands — model-specific availability is noted in the command tables but not fully captured in this spec. RS-232C is only available on X2100W (NA only), X3100W, X4100W, X5200W, X7200W/A; the S700W and X1100W use Ethernet only."
- "No discrete settable-parameter section beyond actions; all adjustable parameters"
- "populate from source, or remove section if not applicable"
- "Complete list of surround mode EVENT-only responses not fully captured; source contains extensive surround mode response tables. Binary command encoding not applicable (ASCII protocol). Authentication not applicable. Firmware compatibility range not stated in source."
- "model-specific source not located"
