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.

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.
