Control functions

(a)Serial control TxD, RxD and DTR

Serial control interface conforming to RS-232C standards.

(b) Extend terminals

SW1, SW2, SW3, SW4, SW5, SW6, SW7 and SW8

This unit can be controlled by connecting switches to the exterior of these pins.

(c) External power supply control

This unit’s power can be turned on and off using the interface connector’s power pin.

Power on/off control is not possible if operation of the buttons on the main unit’s front panel and remote control is locked.

When power is off (in the standby mode): Power turns on when L signal detected after H signal of 100 msec or greater

When power is on: Power turns off (to the standby mode) when L signal detected after H signal of 100 msec or greater

Pin input voltage: ±12 V or less; H signal level: 4.5 V or

higher, L signal level: 0.5 V or lower

(d) Playback status output

This unit’s operating status (playing/stopped) can be detected with the interface connector’s STOP_ST pin.

“H” is output when this unit is in the stop mode, “L” when in the play mode. The output is an open collector, so pull up to a maximum of 12 V (50 mA) to use it.
