The CIS-201 Control Interface is designed to allow both hardwired and infrared control of
Sony audio/video products from an RS232C serial communications device. It provides
four discrete control channels, each with parallel outputs of Control-S and Infrared.
Therefore any command sent via channel 1 will be output by both Control-S and Infrared
outputs 1. If different category products are connected in this way, i.e. a TV to Control-S
1 and a DVD to Infrared 1, that channel can be shared, as each product will only respond to
commands with its own product code.
The CIS-201 can be used either alone or in any combination of CIS-200 series devices, up
to a maximum of 16. Since RS232 is a single-ended data transmission method (between
only one transmitter and one receiver) only one CIS-200 can be used (since it is full two
way), but by utilizing a buffered ‘loop out’ from each unit, up to 15 additional one way
devices (CIS-201 and/or CIS-202) can reside on the the same bus. Each one way device
has its own ID number (1-15), selected by its front panel dip-switch. ID number 0 is
reserved for the CIS-200.

ID Number
CIS-201 ID Number = Selectable 1 through 15
(ID number 0 is reserved for the CIS-200).
Channel Number
Control-S / Infrared Channel Assignments:
Channel 1 = 01H
Channel 2 = 02H
Channel 3 = 04H
Channel 4 = 08H
Note: Multiple channels may be sent by ‘OR-ing’ channel numbers,.i.e,
00H = N/A04H = Ch 308H = Ch 40CH = Ch’s 3,4
Control-S channel(s) 1 through 4 (see ‘Channel Number’ on page 3 for format)
