of alienating people as a new member. As to the manual you never said "I read it" or "I read it and don't understand it" in any of your posts I saw. Also like E-Stat said most people read the original post then if they reply the read responses to their reply.
So in case you're still unsure it is only controlling aspects like from the remote,just more on the db25 and db9 connectors. Totally not needed to fully operate it and would not give you anything commensurate with the effort required to pull it off.

"Hard to picture that I would provide the link and not look there myself."
"I would not have posted the link to the manual site in the original post-- without looking at it.
If you were really in doubt about that, a polite question would have settled it nicely."
These are a few of the statements indicating my familiarity with the material at the link. I don't think any of those are obtuse.
Awe-d-o-file (M): "..most people read the original post then if they reply they read responses to their reply.
So you folks get lots of repetitive, self-evident, previously-cited messages ? Doesn't seem too sensible.
So in case you're still unsure...
No, in actual fact I'm just kind of watching how many may feel the need to post the same generic answers that are in the manual, at the link I posted, yesterday, in the orig post. And to see how many feel the need to advise that someone who has already read the manual should read the manual. And then repeat posts posted by others on the thread because they haven't themselves read the thread. It's like one of those classic slo-mo trainwrecks at this point, or maybe an M.C. Escher illustration.
I referenced the manual believing you had not looked at it because I could not see how you could have read it and still asked the questions you did. Control lines are not used for directly loading files, streaming or accessing DACs with SPDIF digital signals.
Maybe you didn't understand what you read but how would anyone know that. Oh that's right, I am suppose to already know that you read the manual and then politely ask you if you understood it.
Wondering if these can be strictly for hard-wired remote control (ie for a networked sound situation), or do they, might they, offer more functions, other connections ..?
what kind of answer do you seek for data connections designed in the late 60s for use with character terminals and printers ?
Streaming music using a 45 year old protocol? How many devices made today do you think support such?
There are pro audio devices designed in the 21st century that use RS232 for control purposes. This is because the high speed data links (e.g. AES or SPDIF) do not provide for a separate control channel. With newer packet based interconnects such as USB or Ethernet is possible to provide a control channel on the same wires as data, so this connector has been phased out.
No one is streaming music over these links any more than they do so over in IR remote control. For one good reason: the data rates are too low for even CD quality audio.

You and I both remember using 9600 and 19,200 baud character devices - simply horrible data rates for music!
