RS-232C interface
1. Introduction
1) The VTR can be operated by commands when the RS-232C interface is used.
(See command table on pages E-10
E-12.)
2) Conditions for acknowledging commands from RS-232C interface
The front panel REMOTE/LOCAL switch must be at REMOTE.
The set-up menu item No.204 “RS232C SEL” must be ON.
If the above conditions are not met, [ACK] + [STX]ER001[ETX] is returned to the external unit.
Whether the [ACK] code is returned depends on the setting which has been selected for set-up menu
item No.209 “RETURN ACK.”
