ABOUT

LD-Control program can control Pioneer LD Players, which have RS-232C port. This application has been tested with Pioneer LD-4300D, it should also work with other models of  Pioneer.

HOW TO START:

If you have a Pioneer LD, connect it with "mac cable" of Pioneer to serial port B. Set baud rate of LD to 4800 baud and Set TxD terminator to <CR> (look Pioneer Manual). Power LD up. Launch the LD-Control.

If you have NeXTdimension board, you can connect the video output of LD to NeXTdimension video port one.

THANK YOU:
Many thanks to Bill Bumgarner and Steve Morrisson.

BAD FEATURES:
- "hard wired" to serial port B.
- "hard wired" terminator to "\r".
- Application confuses if power up and down the LD.
- Control only Pioneer LD.
