Summary
The Marantz AV 10 Series is a high-end A/V preamplifier/processor controllable via RS-232C serial and TCP/IP (Telnet on port 23). The protocol uses ASCII command strings terminated with carriage return (0x0D). Commands cover power, volume, input selection, surround modes, zone 2/3 control, tuner, network/USB playback, video output, tone control, and system settings. This protocol is shared with Denon AV receivers.

Notes
- The protocol document is titled "Denon AV Receiver Control Protocol" — Marantz and Denon share the same control protocol under their common parent company. The Marantz AV 10 Series uses this identical protocol.
- Command format is ASCII:
COMMAND + PARAMETER + CR (0x0D). Command is always 2 characters; parameter is up to 25 characters. - Query format: append
?as the parameter (e.g.PW?<CR>). Response should arrive within 200ms. - Volume encoding uses a non-linear ASCII scheme:
00=---(MIN),80=0dB,98=+18dB. Half-dB steps use 3 characters (e.g.805=+0.5dB). - Channel volume encoding is linear: 38-62 with 50=0dB.
- When input source changes, surround mode and channel volume events are sent only if they differ from the previous source's values.
- EVENTS should be sent within 5 seconds of state change. RESPONSES to queries should be sent within 200ms.
- The device supports RS-232C (DB-9 female, DCE) and TCP/IP (Telnet port 23) simultaneously.

summary: "Every spec action matched literally to source command table; all transport parameters verified in protocol specification section. (9 unresolved item(s) noted in Known Gaps.)"
Known Gaps
- "source document title references Denon; Marantz-specific command differences (if any) are not documented"
- "firmware version compatibility not stated in source"
- "full list of PS (parameter setting) commands for Audyssey, room size,"
- "no explicit multi-step macros described in source"
- "no explicit safety interlock procedures documented in source"
- "source references Denon model numbers (X1100, S700, X4100) in parameter notes — unclear which features apply specifically to Marantz AV 10 Series"
- "no firmware version range specified for command compatibility"
- "Auro-3D commands marked as \"Auro-3D Upgrade only\" — unclear if AV 10 Series includes this natively"
- "HDRADIO, PANDORA, SIRIUSXM, SPOTIFY, LASTFM, FLICKR availability may vary by region"
