Does anyone know the funcition/pinouts of the "REMOTE" connector on a Sony Diskman (looks exactly like the headphone jack, but is on the left side of the unit)? Can I use my computer to select tracks on the CD? Hmmmmm. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Albrecht Jander anbo@wuee1.wustl.edu --------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know for sure, but that's probably a ^S port. Lots of Sony stuff has a mini jack for a wired version of the singals which are sent by Sony IR remote commanders. >Can I use my computer to select tracks on the CD? If it's a ^S port, you most certainly can. For more info on the ^S port, anonymous ftp to mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu in the /video directory. There is a description of the ^S protocol as well as some control software (I think...) At any rate, the software should be pretty straightforward, once you have the specs.
