For some strange reason it is still not working. I have the Baud at 9600, parity at none, data bits at 8, stop bits at 1, and i have the ID code in the theater touch software set to code 0, I have the IRF6 set to code 0, i plugged the CM232 module into output 1, set the output in the theater touch program to output 1, I connect the Pin 2 on the RS232 port to the tip of the stereo plug for the denon serial port, Pin 3 on RS232 to the ring for the serial port, and pin 5 on the RS232 to the sleeve on the serial port. Then I clicked on the edit button properties in the software and typed in the RS232 string "PWON\r" in the string box. I am at a loss here at what to do, Thanks for the previous help but i still need more guidance.
