There is +an optional "zone" parameter, which accepts a value of +either "1" (default) or "2", that indicates which of the +amplifiers zones should be controlled. + +NB: You must ensure that any user accounts that are to use +this plugin have both read and write access rights for the +configured serial port. + +This plugin was developed and tested using an Arcam AVR 300 +amplifier. I believe most Arcam amplifiers use a sufficiently +similar control system to be compatible with this plugin but +your mileage may vary. -- cgit
