Pioneer CLD-V5000 4) Connection to a Computer

Chapter Two • CLD-V5000 Level II

4) Connection to a Computer

The player can be connected to a computer via the RS-232C port as shown below. It is connected with three lines: One line transmits commands from the computer to the player to control operations. Another line transmits status responses from the player to the computer. The third line is Ground.

The player does not use hardware handshaking. Therefore, control or “handshaking” lines other than TxD and RxD are not required, even if the computer provides them.

Some computers, however, may require hardware handshaking. The player makes a line available to be used, as needed, by the computer. The DTR signal is always pulled high internally, within the CLD-V5000.

The player is connected to the RS-232C port of the computer as follows:

		TxD		Command		RxD
		TxD		Status		RxD
		RxD				TxD
	Computer
							CLD-V5000
				Ground			CLD-V5000

		GND				GND
		GND				GND
		CTS				DTR
		CTS				DTR

See Appendix B for specific interface cable pin configurations to use to connect various computers to the CLD-V5000.
