Parallel Port
The Parallel Port submenu permits the user to reprogram
the pin assignment of the rear panel parallel control port, with
the constraint that the port always provides five inputs and
three outputs (tallies). The CDR-882 has a factory default pin
assignment, full details of which can be found at page 49. This
default assignment can be reinstated at any time with the first
submenu option, Preset.
There are a total of nine menu options within the Parallel Port
submenu, one to select the default (or not), and one for each of
the eight control inputs/tallies.
Preset
This menu option has two settings, Default and User, which
may be considered as two memories. Default always contains
the factory assigned pinout (see page 49), selecting Default
assigns this to the Parallel Port connector. If User is selected,
the pinout applied is that which has been set up in the remaining
submenu options listed below. The factory default contents of
the User memory is the same as that of the Default memory.
User must be selected to reassign any (or all) of the inputs and/
or outputs.
Inputs 1 to 5
The next five submenu options allow the functions of the five
Parallel Port inputs (pins 1-5) to be reassigned. The five options
are identical in operation.
There is a “menu” of nine transport commands (including OFF
– i.e. no assignment), from which any five may be programmed
onto the five input pins of the Parallel Port connector. These are
as follows:
Function Default Assignment
PLAY/PAUSE Input 1
RECORD Input 2
STOP Input 3
AMS + Input 4
AMS - Input 5
FFWD Not assigned
FREW Not assigned
EJECT Not assigned
OFF Not assigned
To assign a different transport commands to one of the inputs,
rotate the AMS control to display the input (Input 1 to Input 5),
press ENTER to select it. The transport function may then be
selected from the list now viewable on the bottom row of the
display by rotating the AMS control. Press the ENTER button
again to make the assignment.
The Preset submenu option above must be set to User before
any of the Input menu options can be selected.
Outputs 1 to 3
The remaining three submenu options allow the functions of the
three Parallel Port outputs (pins 7-9) to be reassigned. The
three options are identical in operation.
There is a “menu” of six transport tallies (including OFF – i.e. no
assignment), from which any three may be programmed onto
the three output pins of the Parallel Port connector. These are
as follows:
Function Default Assignment
PLAY Output 1
PAUSE Output 2
RECORD Output 3
NO DISC Not assigned
CHANGE OVER* Not assigned
OFF Not assigned
* In DiscSpan mode, CHANGE OVER indicates a new disc may
be inserted.
To assign a different tally to one of the outputs, rotate the
AMS control to display the output (Output 1 to Output 3), press
ENTER to select it. The transport function may then be selected
from the list now viewable on the bottom row of the display by
rotating the AMS control. Press the ENTER button again to
make the assignment.
The Preset submenu option (above) must be set to User before
any of the Output menu options can be selected.
