THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF DISC MAGAZINES EQUIPPED WITH INTERNAL MEMORY

Pioneer provides three different types of disc magazines designed for convenience and ease of use in different applications.

20-disc hyper magazine:

The main feature of the hyper magazine is its mobility. It can be inserted and removed without opening the access door. Another feature is a smart memory system that records all user operations toward its lock/unlock mechanism. One hyper magazine is provided as a standard equipment with each Pioneer DRM-7000/DRM-3000.

50-disc magazine (locked-type):

This model is perfect for managing offline media where the security and unchangeableness may be required. Built- in locking mechanism makes it impossible to remove discs from magazine whenever it is outside the changer.

50-disc magazine (normal-type):

This model is convenient for importing or exporting large volumes of discs into or from the changer. You can insert discs into or remove them from a magazine releasing the locking mechanism by a knob fitted with this magazine when it is outside the changer.

EASE OF INSTALLATION

In order to connect the changer to an existing data management system or to build a new data management system, it is necessary for the host computer to be able to properly identify the changer and all the drives contained therein and it is necessary to attach all the cables and specify the settings needed for the host computer to control the changer and drives.

The Pioneer DRM-7000/DRM-3000 is designed not only to make it easy to install and add new drives, but also with a wide range of features designed to make it easier to specify host computer settings.

SECURITY FEATURES DESIGNED TO PREVENT ERRONEOUS OR UNAUTHORIZED OPERATIONS

In order to prevent interference, conflicts, or clashes occurring between manual operations and computer-based operations, entering procedure to the system administrator mode is introduced. Anyone who wants to perform operations from the control panel is required to enter system administrator mode first, using the provided lock release key. And it is possible to prevent the switchover to some sub-modes by issuing a command from the host computer.

It is also possible to assign security privileges on the system administrator who has the lock release key. Then operations directly manipulating discs, like opening mailslot and ejecting hyper magazine, are permitted to only the system administrator.

CONTROL PANEL FITTED WITH AN LCD MESSAGE WINDOW FOR EASE OF USE

The control panel is fitted with a 2-line, 16-column LCD message window which is used to display instructions on the proper operations to perform. And this makes it possible to perform any of the wide variety of different operations provided by the DRM-7000/DRM-3000 with only 5 keys.
