Marantz PD4250D Control Spec

Summary

Control protocol for a Marantz AV component (source document references Marantz AVR/AV receiver command set; PD4250D association inferred from operator-supplied context). Spec covers RS-232C (DB-9, 9600/8-N-1) and Ethernet (TCP/23 telnet) transports using ASCII command strings terminated by CR (0x0D).

Transport

protocols:
  - serial
  - tcp
serial:
  baud_rate: 9600
  data_bits: 8
  parity: none
  stop_bits: 1
  flow_control: none
  connector: DB-9 female (DCE)  # source: "DB-9pin female type, slave straight connection (DCE type)"
addressing:
  port: 23  # source: "TCP port 23 (telnet)"
auth:
  type: none  # inferred: no auth procedure in source

Traits

- powerable  # inferred from PW command examples
- routable  # inferred from SI input source commands
- levelable  # inferred from MV/CV volume commands
- queryable  # inferred from `?` request commands returning state

# Unsolicited notifications the device sends when state changes outside the controller

Safety

Notes

• Source document explicitly references Marantz AV receiver model variants X1100, S700, S70, X4100, and the Auro-3D Upgrade. The mapping of these sub-commands to the PD4250D specifically is not confirmed by the source.
• Command interval: send COMMAND in 50ms or more intervals (source "Communication forms" section).
• Response timing: RESPONSE should be sent within 200ms of receiving the request COMMAND.
• Event timing: EVENT should be sent within 5s of a state change.
• ASCII range for command characters: 0x20-0x7F; CR (0x0D) is used as a terminator only.
• Maximum communication data length: 135 bytes.
• Volume notes: 0.5dB step uses 3 ASCII characters (e.g. MV805=+0.5dB); minimum master volume is "00".
• Power-on sequencing: wait 1 second after PWON before next COMMAND.
• DB-9 pinout: 1=GND, 2=TxD, 3=RxD, 5=Common(GND), 4/6/7/8/9=NC.
• Ethernet: 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX, half duplex, TCP port 23 (telnet).
• Source protocol version: "Control Protocol Ver.06".

Known Gaps

- "source document explicitly references X1100, S700, S70, X4100 model variants throughout the command list. It is unclear whether the full command set applies to the PD4250D specifically; command compatibility by sub-feature is noted in the source where applicable."
- "firmware version compatibility not stated in source."
- "specific PD4250D applicability of the AV-receiver command set not stated in source."
