I haven't got far enough to run into that problem yet. The cords are supposed to be pl2303 chipset cords, but I can't get them to show up as tty devices. /dev/ttyUSB0 <br><br>So I can't even talk to the computer end of the cord yet.

><br><br>Your bad cable issue.... Did you verify that the control port in the<br>back of your receiver is set to the correct mode? Mine was set to some<br>funky device control mode and I had to change the setting in one of the
<br>menus in the receiver. This was a few years ago and I am sure it was a<br>different model than you have now but you may need to change something<br>in the menus to enable the port in the back.<br><br>Good luck,<br>Bill
