Operation, User Mode, System Administrator Mode

OPERATION

The Pioneer DRM-7000/DRM-3000 has two operation modes. One is user mode performing the computer-based operations and the other is system administrator mode mainly performing manual operations from the control panel. By dividing the admitted operations into these two modes, it becomes possible to prevent interference, conflicts, or clashes occurring between operations performed from the control panel and commands issued by the host computer.

USER MODE

Once a changer has been finished its power on initialization or closing doors after installation, it will enter user mode and it will become able to be controlled by the changer control software and database management software running on the host computer. When a changer is running normally in user mode, the LCD message window will display a series of the following status messages in one-second intervals.

When the changer enters system administrator mode, a message like that shown below will be displayed on the LCD message window:

System administrator mode is further divided into 8 different submodes.

Information submodes

These submodes enable the system administrator to read a changer’s current settings or read data stored within a changer. Note that these submodes do not affect the operations performed by the host computer and the system administrator can obtain a variety of information without interfering with the control of the changer from the host computer.

¶Inquiry submode (see p. 26)

¶Config submode (see p. 26)

¶Option submode (see p. 28)

¶Info submode (see p. 32)

Maintenance submodes

These submodes are used to maintain discs and their status within the changer. Sometimes these submodes may use the disc transport mechanism. Therefore whenever the changer enter any one of these submodes, some commands issued by the host computer may be ignored.
