En
The Pioneer DRM-7000/DRM-3000 has two operation modes.
One is user mode performing the computer-based operations
and the other is system administrator mode mainly performing
manual operations from the control panel. By dividing the
admitted operations into these two modes, it becomes
possible to prevent interference, conflicts, or clashes
occurring between operations performed from the control
panel and commands issued by the host computer.
USER MODE
Once a changer has been finished its power on initialization
or closing doors after installation, it will enter user mode and
it will become able to be controlled by the changer control
software and database management software running on the
host computer. When a changer is running normally in user
mode, the LCD message window will display a series of the
following status messages in one-second intervals.

When operating in user mode, the changer will operate in
accordance with commands issued by the host computer.
SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR MODE
The privilege to perform operations from the control panel is
given to the system administrator who keeps lock release
keys. Note that the following steps must be performed in
order to switch to system administrator mode.
1. Insert lock release key into the key switch located on the
control panel and rotate 90 degrees to shift the switch to
UNLOCK position.
OPERATION
2. Press the FUNCTION key.
When the changer enters system administrator mode, a
message like that shown below will be displayed on the LCD
message window:
System administrator mode is further divided into 8 different
submodes.
Information submodes
These submodes enable the system administrator to read a
changer’s current settings or read data stored within a
changer. Note that these submodes do not affect the
operations performed by the host computer and the system
administrator can obtain a variety of information without
interfering with the control of the changer from the host
computer.
¶ Inquiry submode (see p. 26)
¶ Config submode (see p. 26)
¶ Option submode (see p. 28)
¶ Info submode (see p. 32)
Maintenance submodes
These submodes are used to maintain discs and their status
within the changer. Sometimes these submodes may use
the disc transport mechanism. Therefore whenever the
changer enter any one of these submodes, some commands
issued by the host computer may be ignored.
¶ Mailslot submode (see p. 34)
¶ Hyper submode (see p. 35)
¶ Probe submode (see p. 36)
¶ Door submode (see p. 37)
