CDR1000—Owner’s Manual
Using the Parallel Port
The PARALLEL port is a general purpose interface that provides remote control access
to various CDR1000 functions, including Play, Pause, Stop, Record Standby, and Track
Increment. By using custom built switches and cables, it can be used for simultaneous
control of several CDR1000s in a multiple disc recording, or disc duplication system.
In addition to receiving trigger signals, the CDR1000 also outputs trigger signals when
the following functions are operated: Play, Pause, and Stop.
The following diagram shows a switching arrangement for the input triggers.
