RS-232C interface
1. Introduction
(1) The VTR can be operated by commands when the RS-232C interface is used.
(See command table on page 93 – 95.)
(2) Conditions for acknowledging commands from RS-232C interface
The front panel REMOTE/LOCAL switch must be at REMOTE.
The setup menu item No. 204 “RS232C SEL” must be ON.
If the above conditions are not met, [ACK] + [STX]ER001[EXT] is returned to the external unit.
