Chapter Two • CLD-V2600 / 2400 Level I & III

2.3 Interfaces

This section describes the player interfaces that receive control signals:

•The remote sensor receives infrared signals from the CU-V113 or RU-V103 remote control units or a Pioneer barcode reader. (See Section 2.3.1, below for details.)

•The Barcode Terminal receives signals from a wired connection to either the remote control unit or the barcode reader. (See Section 2.3.1, page 2-9, for details.)

•The RS-232C port receives signals from an external computer via the appropriate RS-232C cable. (See Section 2.3.2, page 2-10.)

Please see the Front and Rear View diagrams of the players to locate each interface:

•CLD-V2600— Figures 2-Dand Figure 2-Eon page 2-5 & 2-6.

•CLD-V2400— Figures 2-F and Figure 2-G on page 2-7.2.3.1 Remote Sensor and the Barcode Terminal

The remote sensor receives input via infrared signal and the Barcode terminal receives input via a wired connection. Both the remote sensor and the Barcode Terminal can receive signals from either a Pioneer Barcode Reader or from the remote control unit. Both Barcode and remote control commands are transmitted in serial data streams. Note: The infrared sensor and the Barcode Terminal cannot be used simultaneously.

Figure 2-H

The remote sensor receives the RCU signals on a 48-KHz carrier, removes the carrier, shapes the waveform, and outputs the shaped waveform. See Figure 2-H. A stereo or mono mini-plug cable (Figure 2-I,next page) can be used to input a signal to the Barcode terminal, when a wired connection from the remote control unit or the Barcode Reader is made.
