## Scope Notes
|
|
|
|
- The public trail is strongest for manuals and related CCU documentation.
|
|
- Exact forum repair discussions for RM-M7G and RCP-TX7 appear sparse.
|
|
- The control connector is repeatedly described as a 10-pin remote interface
|
|
using an RS-232C-style/proprietary Sony protocol. The electrical pinout and
|
|
higher-level command protocol should be verified from service manuals before
|
|
connecting custom hardware.
