Why HN links it

HN readers link this blog's post on Pioneer's SR link control as an example of how amplifier makers implement remote control. The one comment points to it as the Pioneer counterpart to a Marantz RC-5 remote control project.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

  3. An 1/8 inch mono jack for remote control is somewhat common, but there's no broadly accepted standards for the protocol. So what's described here (RC-5) probably only works for Marantz and a few other brands. Other brands may have their own way of doing it. Here's a blog post on Pioneer's way of doing it, which they call "SR": https://blog.eikeland.se/2012/09/09/pioneer-sr-link-control/
