Hardware required:
•
Service PC
• one free COM port on the Service PC
• special cable to connect DVD recorder to Service PC
The service PC must have a terminal emulation program (e.g.
OS2 WarpTerminal or Procomm) installed and must have a
free COM port (e.g. COM1). Activate the terminal emulation
program and check that the port settings for the free COM port
are: 19200 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and no flow
control. The free COM port must be connected via a special
cable to the RS232 port of the DVD recorder. This special cable
will also connect the test pin, which is available on the
connector, to ground (i.e. activate test pin).
Code number of PC interface cable: 3122 785 90017
