[comp.ivideodisc] Help identifying equipment

vnend@phoenix.Princeton.EDU (D. W. James) (03/13/91)

	I just trade some software for the following equipment:

		Laserdata TRI0 controller
                Laserdata LMH200 distribution(RS232?) controller
                Pioneer LD-V1000

The LMH200 has 6 DB-37 (Male) connectors and one DB-37 female connector
on the back, a few rear LED's, a power inlet and an on/off switch.  Its
tag says that it was manufactured 10/86, and an inspection sticker says
that it was passed by QC 10-6-87.  I don't recall ever having seen a 
DB-37 before, though I'm not that experienced with video equipment.

The TRIO 110 has a power switch, inlet, coax labeled "Player Video",
a coax labeled "Video Monitor", two LEDs, a microswitch, a DB-9 "Serial
Port", a "Player Control" port that looks like a 24 pin 'parallel' 
connector (cable was included) and a DB-37 (Female) "Computer Port",
and, last, two pairs of RCA jacks labeled "Audio", one pair for the
player, one for the amp, and labeled for left and right.

Both of these are in (HEAVY!) dark-grey steel enclosures.  I've glanced
in through the air vents of the LMH200 and could see something with a 
TDK sticker on it.

The LD-V1000 looks to be a million years old, but is really only back to
84.  It has the usual video and audio out, plus a 24 pin "external control"
that matches the pin on the TRIO 110.  No sign of any external controls, 
though there are a couple of panels on the front that could be hiding
IR pickups for a remote.

At this point I'm looking for: Manuals (I'll be calling Pioneer as soon
as a friend looks up the number for me), addresses (Laserdata???), pin
outs, software, ideas...

If anyone has some information for me, thanks!
