    Colors in the image are 
    swapped; for example, 
    reds appear blue or vice 
    versa. • The Red/Pr, Green/Y or 
    Blue/Pb outputs from 
    the source are 
    connected to the 
    wrong inputs on the 
    PD7170.• Ensure that the source 
    outputs are connected 
    to the correct PD7170 
    input. 
    LED is flashing alternating 
    green and red. • The lamp cover is open.
    • The lamp has failed or 
    exceeded its usage life.• Close the lamp cover.
    • Replace the lamp with 
    a new one. 
    LED is flashing red. • PD7170 internal 
    temperature is too high.• Power off the PD7170 
    and allow it to cool 
    down. Ensure that the 
    intake and exhaust 
    vents are not blocked. 
    Turn the projector back 
    on. If the problem 
    persists, please contact 
    Planar Technical 
    Support for assistance.

    6.1 
    RS-232 Connection and 
    Port Configuration
    To interface the PD7170 with a home theater automation/control system or a 
    PC running terminal emulation software:
    1. Connect it to your control system or PC as shown in Figure 3-11. 
    2. Start a terminal session on your PC using a terminal-emulation program, such 
    as HyperTerminal. 
    3. Configure the RS-232 controller or PC serial port as follows: 38400 bps, no 
    parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no flow control. 
    4. Type ky or op followed by a command from among those listed in Table 
    6-1 or Table 6-2 and press . For example, to change the aspect 
    ratio to Letterbox, type op aspect = 1. 
    6.2 
    Serial Command Syntax
    Serial commands to the PD7170 take the following form:
    • Commands are in ASCII format.
    • Spaces and tabs can be used to improve readability and are ignored by the 
    projector.  
    • All commands must end with a carriage return (ASCII hex 0D) to signify that 
    the projector can now read and execute the command.
    • Commands are not case-sensitive.
    The PD7170 supports two types of commands: key commands and operation 
    commands.  Key commands mimic pressing a button on the remote control. 
    Operation commands tell the projector exactly what to do.
    All commands start with 2 letters:
    ky for key commands.
    op for operations commands.
    Key CommandsThe syntax for key commands is simple: 
    ky [CR]
    Some key command examples:
    ky menu[CR]Bring up or cancel menu display.
    ky mem.sw[CR]Switch to next user memory.
    ky asp.16.9[CR]Apply 16:9 aspect ratio.
    The response from the projector for key commands will be the same command 
    in UPPERCASE.
    Input: ky mem.sw[CR]
    Response: KY MEM.SW [CR]

    Operations CommandsOperations commands allow more flexible and direct control of the projector.  
    The syntax for operations commands is as follows:
    op  [CR]
    (Precede  and  with a space.)
    The command type can be one of 5 functions:  
    asp.narr(none)0xA10xE1Apply 4:3 Narrow aspect ratio to the 
    active source.
    pip.sw0xA30xE3Switch to next “PIP Select” state.
    pip.1(none)0xA40xE4Change “PIP Select” to source 1.
    pip.2(none)0xA50xE5Change “PIP Select” to source 2.
    pip.3(none)0xA60xE6Change “PIP Select” to source 3.
    pip.4(none)0xA70xE7Change “PIP Select” to source 4.
    pip.5(none)0xA80xE8Change “PIP Select” to source 5.
    pip.off(none)0xA90xE9Change “PIP Select” to off.
    pip.swap0xAA0xEASwap the PIP image with the active 
    source image.
    pow.tog(none)0xAC0xECToggles between power on and 
    power off.
    lit.tog0xAD0xEDActivates remote backlighting only 
    when pressed momentarily.  When 
    held for five seconds or more, the IR 
    code for toggling the projector I/O 
    panel light is transmitted.

    Table 6-2 lists the valid operations commands. For all but Execute functions, the 
    response from the projector is the command and “= ” where  is 
    the current value or “NA” if the value is not available.  For Execute functions the 
    response is the same command.  All responses are in UPPERCASE.  
    Some operations command examples:
    Input: op bright ? [CR]
    Response: OP BRIGHT = 100 [CR]
    Input: op bright + [CR]
    Response: OP BRIGHT = 101 [CR]
    Input: op bright = 127 [CR]
    Response: OP BRIGHT = 127 [CR]
    Input: op bright - [CR]
    Response: OP BRIGHT = 126 [CR]
    Input: op resync [CR]
    Response: OP RESYNC [CR]
    Input: op sharp.mode = 1 [CR]
    Response: OP SHARP.MODE = 1 [CR]
    Input: op sharp.simple = 50 [CR]
    Response: OP SHARP.SIMPLE = NA [CR]
    Input: op sharp.simple ? [CR]
    Response: OP SHARP.SIMPLE = NA [CR]
    The last three commands show what happens when a control is grayed out.  In 
    this case, the sharpness mode was set to advanced (value = 1) and then the 
    simple sharpness slider was attempted to be adjusted and queried.  The 
    response was “NA” or not available.
