3 Remote control section
Notes
• When controlling the unit using a device connected to
the RS-232C connector 1 or the RS-422A connector
2, set the REMOTE/LOCAL switch on the front
panel to REMOTE. (Regardless of the setting of the
REMOTE/LOCAL switch, you can use a device
connected to the LANC jack 3 to control the unit.)
• Even when the DSR-45 plays back a PAL formatted
tape (or the DSR-45P plays back an NTSC formatted
tape), you can control the basic tape transport
functions using a device connected to the RS-232C
connector 1 or the RS-422A connector 2.
However, editing operations attempted in this case
are not guaranteed.
• For editing, if you intend to use this unit as a recorder
and to use the FXE-120/120P or the FXE-100/100P
upgraded by installing the FXE-KIT1 as an editing
controller, you also need to use the IF-FXE2 LANC
Interface Box.
1 RS-232C connector (9-pin)
Use when controlling the unit using an editing
controller or a computer that has an RS-232C
interface.
Note
For editing, if you intend to use this unit as a player
and the FXE-120/120P or FXE-100/100P as an editing
controller, set the baud rate of both devices to 19200
bps.
2 RS-422A connector (9-pin)
Use when controlling the unit using an editing
controller that has an RS-422A interface.
3 LANC jack
Use when controlling the tape transport operation of
the unit using a device that has a LANC
1)
jack.
Notes
• Regardless of the setting of the REMOTE/LOCAL
switch, you can use a device connected to the LANC
jack to control the unit.
• The LANC jack on the unit has only LANC-S
functions. The unit has no LANC-M functions. A
device that is set to LANC-S mode cannot be
connected to this unit. Either this, the unit or the other
device may not operate properly.
• If the device that you connect to this unit has a
SHUTTLE A/B switching function and a LANC-M
function, set the device to the SHUTTLE B mode.
• The LANC connection transmits signals such as
control signals, time code, time counter data, and
status data.
• Jacks labeled CONTROL L have the same function
as LANC jacks.
• When using this unit as a player, set the LANC mode
on the recorder to M. A device that does not have an
M / S switching function cannot be used to control
this unit.
