[comp.ivideodisc] Need info on Sony model 1000A

usenet@cps3xx.UUCP (Usenet file owner) (05/11/89)

I need some information on a Sony model 1000A videodisc player.  I am
planning on writing/purchasing some interactive video software, and I
need to know if this Sony model can be controlled by a computer.

Does anyone know anything about this model?

Thanks,

Yes, the Sony LDP-1000A has an RS-232 interface and can
be controlled by an external computer.  You'll want the
"Interface Guide", a 20-page extra document from them if
you're writing your own interface code.  The details are
NOT in the standard owners manual.
