SETTING THE RS-232C OR RS-485 DATA TRANSFER SPEED

The VCR can be controlled by a computer connected to the RS-232C connector. It can also be controlled through a special controller connected to the RS-485 connector.

You must specify which connector (RS-232C or RS-485) is used. (Refer to “Data Transfer Speed Setup.”)

DIP Switches Setup

The DIP switches need to be set when a computer, special controller, etc. connected to the RS-232C or RS-485 connectors is used to control the VCR. Make sure to turn the VCR power off before setting the DIP switches.
