[comp.sys.amiga.multimedia] AV ---> Pioneer LD-V4200 help needed

<3423YKN@CMUVM.BITNET> (04/29/91)

I've gained temporary custody of the above mentioned machine. The problem is
I didn't get a manual. The first order was to hack a cable from it to my 1000.
LDV4200(db15male)   A1000(db25male)
pin# 1                7
     2                4
     3                3
     4                6

Did I miss anything?
I have perferences set to 4800 baud
I have the "player.device" installed and selected the proper driver.
When I try the controller from AV it returns a "Video Error: Cannot open
Devs:Player Device. Please install proper driver software."

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You didn't miss, but you were off by a couple of pins.  The cable should be:

  LDV4200            A1000
pin# 1                 7
     2                 3
     3                 2
     4                 5

This all looks good.
