DRM-7000Operating Instructions

1.4Security Features

To prevent erroneous or unauthorized use, operators must be able to enter the system administration mode from the Control Panel. In order to enter this mode, unlock the mechanism using the provided keys. This feature also guards against interference, conflicts and clashes occurring between operations performed from the Control Panel and commands issued by the HOST computer.

An alternative method is to issue a command from the HOST to disable the Control Panel. It is possible to restrict the types of operations that may be performed away from the HOST computer. If the HOST sends a particular series of commands, a person with the Changer’s keys is still prevented from opening access panels, exchanging discs, or otherwise altering any internal settings on the Changer.

The software (which controls the Changer and manages the upper-level database) carefully monitors access privileges and disc locations within the Changer. As a further precaution, if the software on the HOST computer (or a server in a network environment) is not controlling the Changer when a disc’s status is changed, access to the Changer and the installed drives is lost. Allowing discs to be removed or swapped freely also poses a security risk because of the potential for lost or damaged media. Although discs may still be added, exchanged or removed via the access panels or through the disc mail slots, Pioneer recommends that a System Administrator handle these security-sensitive activities.

1.5Large LCD Message Display

The Control Panel is fitted with a large 2-line, 16-character LCD that displays operation instructions. It is possible to perform a wide variety of operations on the DRM-7000 using just five keys.

1.6Expandability and Improvement

Pioneer will be releasing a disc turning or flipping unit for double-sided DVD discs, a network interface connection, a video decoder, a DVD-R drive and other optional components to be announced later. The DRM-7000 is designed so that these new components are easily installed and automatically recognized by the system.

1.7Disc Changing Mechanism

The Pioneer DRM-7000 Changer uses the same disc changing mechanism as the DRM-1004 series. This mechanism has an excellent record of high access speeds and proven reliability.
