I have had very good luck controlling my Onkyo AV reciever with PH via RS 232 control. I now am trying to control my TV via RS-232.
See the link that describes Pioneer's RS232 protocal: PioneerLink
It is the first one: PRO-1540HD_RS232
In the "start-up" macro I open my com port (#3):
ph_comopen(3,3,9600,"O", 8, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, "?","TV COM PORT")
I use com 2 with similar settings (other than the parity) with great results for the Onkyo:
ph_comopen(2,2,9600,"N", 8, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, "?","AV COM PORT")
I have tried:
ph_comsendstring(3,"02h**PON03h")
ph_comsendstring(3,"02,**,PON,03")
What am I missing?

Ah ha! You need No parity, but it looks like you are selecting Odd. Try this...
ph_comopen(3,3,9600,"N", 8, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, "?","TV COM PORT")

Tony,
Your sharp as ever, but the Pioneer doc shows parity set to "O" (bottom of page #2). I thought that seemed odd as well, so I also tried your sugestion......  but still no luck.

OK, dang it. Now it's personal! LOL
The bottom of page two says, "Parity: 0 (no parity)". That's a zero, not a letter O.
Double-check that the TV is set to 9600.
What about the cable... Is it all straight through (2-2, 3-3, 5-5)?
Have you tried lower case?

From the manual (bottome of page 3):
Code:
| Input 1 Command when using a Crestron brand controller: \x02**inps01\x03. |
|
|
So like Tony said this - ph_comsendstring(3,"\x02**PON\x03") - should work when the parity is set right.

Update:
TonyNo: You were right about the formatting of the com command. Turns out that I did not have the TV set to accept 232 commands. After I did that, all commands work smoothly. Wahoo!!!!!!!
From the Pioneer manual....below is what I should have done first!!!
1.0 Communication mode
The default communication mode for many of our newer displays is SR+ mode. In this mode the display will not receive RS232C commands.
Before using RS232C control you must set the communication mode.
The remote control can be used to change the communication mode.
(Note) RS232C control and SR+ function cannot be used simultaneously.
1.1 Communication mode - From SR+ to RS-232C
Communication mode and baud rate selected by Integrator menu
With the plasma display in “Standby”, press and release the Home Menu key then press and release the Power key within 3 seconds. The Integrator Menu will appear.
A. Default is SR+ ON. B. Left (<) key turns SR+ OFF. C. Down (\/) key then Left or Right
keys to set the desired Baud Rate.
In this menu the user can change the communication mode and baud rate using the Left and Right keys.
UART SELECT: 1200bps/2400bps4800bps/9600bps (232C default)/19200bps/38400bps
