5.[REMOTE] connector

This connector accepts parallel remote signals for controlling the PD-6 externally. Connector: MINI DIN 8-pin

You can control the following nine operations remotely.

1	PLAY	6	CUE point registration
2	STOP	7	PAUSE
3	RECORD	8	SKIP/CURSOR
4	REWIND	9	SKIP/CURSOR

5F.FORWARD

<Operation>

When a terminal is grounded, the function is active.

Note that you can always control the PD-6 via this connector regardless of the setting of the [PANEL LOCK] key on the panel.

(*) V BATT (12 - 24 V). Max 500 mA.

This pin always supplies the voltage regardless of whether the [POWER] switch is set to “ON” or “OFF”. (delivers a voltage regardless of the [POWER] switch setting.)

<Caution>

Pin 7 (DC 12V) supplies the PD-6 operation voltage. If it is short-circuited to GND, or use it with a heavy load, the PD-6 internal battery life may be exhausted faster or the PD-6 may generate heat abnormally.

Be careful not to use it with a heavy load or short-circuit it to GND.

6.[IEEE1394] connector

Exclusively used to connect to a PC, allowing you to transfer audio files between the PD-6 and the PC.
