Usually if there is a RS232 port it is for External control from a 3rd party control system such as Crestron, AMX. It will allow 2 way communications to the control system and give you a true Feedback in most cases allowing you to have visual status of the receiver. Lets say you used a Crestron 2 way touchscreen and everything was connected and programmed correctly, you would get Volume, radio frequency, surround mode, selected input all displayed back on your touch screen.
The 232 allows better control of devices and in most cases more discrete functions of the device..like a preset volume on power up

Personally, I'm quite happy to stick with the Merlot . . . and Pinot Noir . . . and Zinfandel . . . and Shiraz . . . and Riesling . . . and Chardonnay . . . and Gewürztraminer . . . to name but a few.

I am more of a beer man for the weak stuff and tequila, Vodka and my Grandpa's home made stuff for the hard stuff, though a good port is not bad every so often

Ya see, if he had just asked his question with enough information, we might be talking about his problem!
