Linn Classik Movie (CMS) RS-232 Control Spec

Summary

RS-232 ASCII control protocol for the Linn Classik Movie (CMS-series) DVD/CD receiver. Commands are delimited by $...$ inside optional #Source#, &Group&, @Destination@ identifier fields, terminated by CR+LF (0x0D 0x0A). The unit supports disc transport, tuner, pre-amplifier, and configuration command groups with solicited and unsolicited response paths.

Transport

protocols:
  - serial
serial:
  baud_rate: 9600  # default; host may switch via $BAUD$ to: 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 28800, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400
  data_bits: 7
  parity: even
  stop_bits: 1
  flow_control: none  # UNRESOLVED: flow control not stated in source
auth:
  type: none  # inferred: no auth procedure in source

Command framing (apply to every action below):

• Optional leading identifiers: #Source_ID# &Group_ID& @Destination_ID@
• Command body: $Command (Param (Param …))$
• Trailing line terminator: 0x0D 0x0A
• Solicited responses return !$…$; unsolicited events return …$…$ (no !).

Traits

# - powerable       (STANDBY ON/OFF/TOGGLE present)
# - routable        (LISTEN source-select present)
# - queryable       (?, STATUS, MODE, DISCINFO, TRACK, CHAPTER, TIME, REPEAT, SCAN, SIGNAL, MUTETHRESHOLD, RDSINFO, TV TYPE, VIDEO TYPE, SPDIFOUTPUT, SETUP, VERSION, COUNTER, CHECKSUM, IR, BAND, TUNE, PRESET, SURROUND, PROLOGICII, BAL, VOL, MUTE, STANDBY all return state)
# - levelable       (VOL/VOLUME 0-100, BAL/BALANCE -10..+10)
# - transport       (PLAY, PAUSE, STOP, OPEN, CLOSE, TRACK, CHAPTER, SKIP, SEARCH, REPEAT)
# - tuner           (BAND, TUNE, SCAN, PRESET, SIGNAL, MUTETHRESHOLD, RDSINFO, COUNTRY)

Safety

confirmation_required_for: []  # UNRESOLVED: source does not specify confirmation requirements
interlocks: []  # UNRESOLVED: source does not specify interlock procedures
# UNRESOLVED: source describes no power-on sequencing, no interlock procedures, and no safety
# interlocks. Source explicitly states that TV TYPE can only be changed when the tray is empty
# or disc stopped (data discs must be removed). The $IGNORE$ response mechanism protects against
# issuing commands in incompatible product states (e.g. $PLAY$ when DISC_NODISC returns
# $IGNORED PLAY DISC_NODISC$) but this is a runtime guard, not a safety interlock.

Notes

• VOL and VOLUME are aliases; BAL and BALANCE are aliases. The source allows either form interchangeably.
• Initial baud rate on power-up is 9600; the host can switch via $BAUD$ to any supported rate. Replies to a $BAUD$ change are sent at the old rate before the switch.
• 2400 baud is not supported; available rates are 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 28800, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400.
• Solicited responses: !$Status_String$; unsolicited events: (Source_ID)$Status_String$ with no leading !.
• Identifier fields #Source#, &Group&, @Destination@ are optional and follow the rules in section 1.3 of the source. Group-mode commands suppress individual acks.
• Escape sequences (\xHH) must be used for #, $, &, @, space, and backslash inside identifier or command fields. CLASSIK supports ISO 8859-1; avoid 0..31 and 128..159. ASCII 127 is treated as a delete character by the RS-232 buffer.
• $ECHO$ issued without identifiers causes every connected device to respond — risk of comms clash.
• $TIME ?$ is the only time-mode query; it does not return the current playhead time directly but echoes which of the time modes is active.
• $REPEAT ?$ returns REPEAT ON, REPEAT OFF, REPEAT TRACK, REPEAT A, or REPEAT A-B — the A and A-B states are only produced by the remote handset, not by RS-232 commands, but the spec lists them as valid query responses.
• $TV TYPE$ may only be issued when the tray is empty or the disc is stopped; data discs must be removed.
• The source mentions a $SCAN ?$ response shape $SCAN [STOPPED|PAUSED|SCANNING|AUTOSTORE_PAUSED|AUTOSTORE_SCANNING] frequency band$ — AUTOSTORE_* states occur during $PRESET AUTOSTORE$.
• Command help is implemented: host can issue $? COMMAND$ to retrieve parameter hints, and $?$ alone to enumerate the full command set.

Known Gaps

- "model firmware ranges, exact disc error recovery sequences, and `SETUP MENU`/`SETUP` deeper-menu navigation commands are not fully described in the source."
- "flow control not stated in source"
- "source does not specify confirmation requirements"
- "source does not specify interlock procedures"
- "source describes no power-on sequencing, no interlock procedures, and no safety"
- "- Firmware version compatibility (the source provides $VERSION$ queries but does not state a baseline)"
