Connection
Connection to other devices
The CDP-D12 can be connected to other devices, as shown below.
Notes
• Be sure the connections are firm to prevent hum and noise.
• Before making connections, be sure each component is turned off.
Connecting the PARALLEL
connector
Remote control can be conducted by connecting
simple circuits to the PARALLEL connector.
Connecting an input circuit to an input terminal and
the ground terminal allows the function assigned to
that terminal to operate.
The output terminals provide open collector output.
By connecting an output circuit to the output
terminals, the LEDs on the connected device can light
up to show the status of the CDP-D12. The following
figures show examples of input and output circuits.

9 Output NO DISC P.Output3
Terminals 1 to 5 are fixed to input and 7 to 9 are fixed
to output. The function of terminals 1 to 5 (input
terminals, P.Input1 to P.Input5 ) and 6 to 9 (output
terminals, P.Output1 to P.Output3) can be changed
through menu settings.
The assignable functions are described in the table
below:
