The feedback string is a representation of the display of the unit. The Char1 - Char42 
data bytes contain ASCII data representing the text that appears across the 2 lines of the 
front display. It can contain source input, volume, and surround mode data and should 
be parsed to obtain this information. 
The Flag1 - Flag5 data bytes contain data on which of the various icons on the front 
display are currently illuminated. The display status uses 2 bits in Flag3 to confirm if the 
front display is On or Off.
