Serial problem

I have a controller wired up the the HD600 serial. When the controller and HD600 are powered up at the same time, the HD600 responds to the serial commands. But when the HD600 is running and the power on the controller is cycled, the HD600 does not respond to the serial commands. RS232 levels are fine in both cases. Any Thoughts?

  What controller are you using? And, can you forward the script you are using with the player.

  The controller is a RCM2300 from Rabbit with an RS232 driver.
  
  
  
  The code:
  
  
  
  
  
  ser_msg_new = 0
  
  event = 0
  
  status = 0
  
  video = 0
  
  
  
  
  
  REM set up video
  
  v_mode = CreateObject("roVideoMode")
  
  v_mode.SetMode("640x480x60p")
  
  
  
  v_play = CreateObject("roVideoPlayer")
  
  v_play.SetLoopMode(0)
  
  
  
  v_msg = CreateObject("roMessagePort")
  
  v_mode.SetPort(v_msg)
  
  v_play.SetPort(v_msg)
  
  
  
  REM set up audio
  
  v_play.SetAudioMode(1)
  
  v_play.SetAudioOutput(4)
  
  v_play.MapStereoOutput(2)
  
  v_play.SetVolume(100)
  
  
  
  REM set up serial
  
  ser = CreateObject("roSerialPort", 0, 9600)
  
  ser.SetBaudRate(9600)
  
  s_msg = CreateObject("roMessagePort")
  
  ser.SetByteEventPort(s_msg)
  
  
  
  
  
  Begin:
  
  
  
  ser_msg_new = wait(100,s_msg)
  
  if type(ser_msg_new) = "roStreamByteEvent" then gosub play_video
  
  
  
  video_msg = wait(100,v_msg)
  
  if type(video_msg) = "roVideoEvent" event = video_msg.GetInt()
  
  if event <> 3 then video = 0:status = 0
  
  
  
  print "video:";video;" status:";status;" event:";event
  
  
  
  goto Begin
  
  
  
  
  
  play_video:
  
  
  
  f$ = "/" + str(ser_msg_new) + ".mpg"
  
  ok = v_play.PlayFile(f$)
  
  if ok = true then status = 1:video = ser_msg_new
  
  if ok = false then status = 0
  
  
  
  return

  I'm checking with one of our developers.
