Additional Information
Remote Control Function Using
a Parallel Remote Connector
You can operate the deck with a parallel remote control
that uses a switch box connected to the REMOTE 1
connector on the rear panel.
Using the REMOTE 1 connector
When operating the deck with a parallel remote
control, set the REMOTE switch on the front panel to
WIRED.
The pin numbers and pin assignments for the
REMOTE 1 connector on the rear panel are as follows:
DIN connector (8 pin)
Case
Pin No M0DE1
(playback)
M0DE2
(recording)
Inputs 1 H-level constant L-level constant
2 ■ H-BTOP/L-PLAY L-STOP
3 L-STOP L-START ID
WRITE
4 L-PLAY L-PLAY
5 L-REW L-PAUSE
6 L-FF L-REC
Status 7 H-STOP H-REC-PAUSE
output
8 H-PLAY H-REC
Case GND GND
Command inputs H: OPEN (off impedance: 30 kilohms or
more)
L: GND short (on impedance: 100 ohms
or less)
Status output H: approx 2V (I=15mA)
L: OPEN (High impedance)

Notes
• When using MODE 2, use pin number 1 for GND.
• By keeping the input to pin number 1 constant at either H-
level or L-level determines whether pin numbers 2 to 8 are
in MODE 1 (playback) or MODE 2 (recording).
• In MODE 1, pin number 2 may be used for fader-start
function.
• For pin numbers 2 to 6 pin, input to smaller numbers take
priority.
• Anti-chattering measures should be taken for the
command input switches.
• Status output (pin numbers 7 and 8) is specially provided
for driving a single LED. If more current is needed, use an
additional drive circuit or electric power supply.
• Do not switch input to pin number 1 (MODE 1 and MODE
2) while the deck is playing or recording. This may result
in mis-operation of the deck.
