The Denon AV receivers can be controlled via a serial port or via Ethernet.

Install xPL serial port

Install the serial port driver.

Download the serial port xPL device script. Move it to xPL scripts directory: 

su
SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR=/home/control/Documents/Controls
mv xpl-serial_port.pl $SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR
chown control:users $SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR/*.pl
chmod 775 $SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR/*.pl

Test the serial port device: 

su control
SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR=/home/control/Documents/Controls
ll /dev/tty*
$SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR/xpl-serial_port.pl -v -n loungeAmp -e '\x0D' /dev/ttyUSB1 baudrate 9600 databits 8 parity none stopbits 1 handshake none

Open a 2nd terminal window and view the xPL messages: 

su control
SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR=/home/control/Documents/Controls
$SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR/SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR/xpl-monitor.pl -vf

Open a 3rd terminal window and test the xPL RS-232 control: 

su control
SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR=/home/control/Documents/Controls
$SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR/xpl-send.pl -v -d dspc-serPort.loungeAmp -c serPort.basic command='PWON'
$SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR/xpl-send.pl -v -d dspc-serPort.loungeAmp -c serPort.basic command='PW?'
$SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR/xpl-send.pl -v -d dspc-serPort.loungeAmp -c serPort.basic command='PWSTANDBY'
$SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR/xpl-send.pl -v -d dspc-serPort.loungeAmp -c serPort.basic command='PW?'

Install xPL audio-video controller

Download the AVR controller script. Move it to xPL scripts directory: 

su
SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR=/home/control/Documents/Controls
mv xpl-avController-DenonAVR-serial.pl $SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR
chown control:users $SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR/*.pl
chmod 775 $SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR/*.pl

Test the AVR controller: 

su control
SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR=/home/control/Documents/Controls
$SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR/xpl-avController-DenonAVR-serial.pl -v -n loungeAmp -s loungeAmp

Open a 3rd terminal window and test the commands: 

su control
SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR=/home/control/Documents/Controls
$SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR/xpl-send.pl -d dspc-ampDenon.loungeAmp -c media.basic mute=on
$SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR/xpl-send.pl -d dspc-ampDenon.loungeAmp -c media.basic mute=off

Launch the scripts at startup

Ubuntu

Edit /etc/init/xpl-loungeAvControllerSerialPort.conf: 

# xPL serial port for Denon AV receiver

  sudo initctl emit xpl-loungeAvControllerSerialPort_started
end script

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Start the serial port and test it: 

su root
service xpl-loungeAvControllerSerialPort start
service xpl-loungeAvControllerSerialPort status
initctl list | grep xpl

Edit /etc/init/xpl-loungeAvController.conf:

Start the screen controller and test it: 

su root
service xpl-loungeAvController start
service xpl-loungeAvController status
initctl list | grep xpl

Mac OS

Check the serial port device name: 

ll /dev/tty.*
