Subject: [slinkelist] Mitsubishi IR Codes
Does anybody happen to have a device table for Mitsubishi TVs? I just got
one of their wide screen, digital TVs. The one sample distributed with CDJ
doesn't work.
David/Colby: E-Z Learn won't work, either. It seems to record the remote's
functions, but when I play them back (using Try), nothing happens.
Suggestions?

For S-link-less minidisc recorders (such as my Sharp 722 portable), may
the user still manually put the recorder into automatic sync-recording mode
but use CDJ to play songs from various CDs on the same changer for
pseudo-automatic minidisc recording?

This is an open Thank You to Will Hollingworth for his FANTASTIC MiniDisc
Manager program.
I have just "discovered" this program and what a find! My family is having a
tremendous amount of fun making discs of their favorite Christmas music.
This program is a true gem.
And his new support for CDJ playlists make this process so easy and
foolproof even my Wife is able to use it. The ULTIMATE compliment!
Thank you Will for this incredibly great piece of software.
Happy Holidays and thanks for the Christmas present!

Does anyone know if cover art can be uploaded to a CXP-90ES changer? - This
unit has a GUI interface with the TV and promotes that it will show Cover
Art for those CD's that offer it but not sure if the Slink-E would know to
send it.
Any thoughts?

Subject: [slinkelist] changing discs library info
Hi Peter-
Discs don't actually get deleted until you quit the program. There may be a
bug somewhere where parts of CDJ still "see" the deleted disc. Try
restarting CDJ after deleting the disc (or save and reload the library) and
see if the problem is still there.

Subject: [slinkelist] DXS stuff
Hey folks,
A few DXS related announcements:
First of all the v1.02 patch seems to have done the trick. We haven't had
any bug reports since the upgrade went out so it seems we have a stable
product. Everyone has been happy with the basic functionality so far but
if you have any suggestions let us know.
We posted some SlinkeServ device files on the web page for the DXS. These
are at http://www.nirvis.com/dxsdevicefiles.htm If you want to control your
DXS via RS-232 then ask about how to use the info in these files on our new
'dxs-user' mailing list.
Which brings us to topic number 3: the new DXS related mailing lists.
This will be the last annoying unsolicited bulk e-mail to DXS customers.
Subscribe to the 'dxs-announce' mailing list if you want to receive
notification of product improvements and new DXS software/firmware. This
list will not accept postings from users and we promise to use it sparingly
so you won't get much e-mail traffic from here.

Yes, I have had the MouseRemote for over a year. I also just recently =
purchased the X10 DVD Anywhere product (meaning I now have 2 =
MouseRemotes).
I am only marginally happy with both of these products. X10 equipment =
is always, in my opinion, a little on the rough side, not too attractive =
designs and the functionality usually performs as advertised, but not =
spectacularly so.
In the case of the MouseRemote, it overrides your existing mouse. You =
plug your mouse into it, and then you plug the MR into your computer. =
To make this work correctly, you must install X10's mouse driver. This =
I believe is the inherent weakness of the system (the whole mouse =
doohicky).
On my old P133 (where the MR was installed for the year, I just upgraded =
to a new system) I installed everything and it worked ok, except for =
occasional mouse "glitches". These would exhibit themselves as the =
mouse moving around, clicking at random intervals and other strangeness =
(very hard to use the computer while the product is in use for typing a =
paper for instance)
They say it's due to "PS/2" losing sync signals, but I think it's just =
their crappy product. I will say that my old system did not support =
PS/2 style connectors, and thus I was taking my PS/2 mouse, plugging it =
into the MR, and then the MR into a converter and into the Serial Port. =
Recently I removed the MR component (while leaving the driver intact) =
and all of the problems went away (of course I couldn't use the MR =
anymore).
This behavior was/is very problematic for controlling programs, because =
essentially the program just emulates keyboard and mouse behaviors, with =
a few extras thrown in. The major problem comes when you launch an =
application (say an MP3 player) and the cursor is pointing somewhere =
over the desktop. After some interval of time your are (I was at least) =
guaranteed to get a random click, taking the focus away from the MP3 =
player, and thus losing all control over it. The solution is that =
before any attempt to control the computer, I would always push the =
appropriate control button.
I might add that a friend of mine purchased the MR immediately after I =
did, and experienced similar problems. Though not exactly the same, his =
experience matches mine in that the overall satisfaction with the =
product has diminished with time as it's flaws become more and more =
aggravating.
As for the DVD/MP3 Anywhere, I am not terribly impressed by it's =
quality. The unit itself seems to cause a low amount of signal noise to =
be generated in the output, regardless of the input signal. I am only =
transmitting the signal about 100 ft, so I expected pretty good =
operation. My assessment is that it is suitable for a party where you =
might want music going in two or more different rooms, but don't listen =
to classical over it. It is also susceptible to fuzz/noise when walking =
around (something I had hoped would not be a problem because it's "2.4 =
GHz"). In addition it is VERY unhappy when I turn on my 2.4 GHz phone, =
as you can imagine. I tried changing channels on both devices, to no =

The video quality was reasonable, about what you'd expect for an =
over-the-air broadcast kind of signal with good reception. Not as good =
as cable, but acceptable. Certainly not something you'd watch DVD =
movies on, in my opinion (s-video is not transmitted, only composite)
I have not tried the transmission of IR codes. I assume it works, but =
probably as with all X10 equipment, fails every once in a while just =
enough to annoy you, but not enough to really say that the product is =

To be honest with you, I am on this list precisely because I am fed up =
with controlling my computer through the MouseRemote. I have been =
considering the SLink device because in theory I should be able to =
control my computer any existing remote, and I should also be able to =

disappointed to read the other day that FireCracker support does not =
exist yet, I have both the CM11A and FireCracker, I figured the FC would =
be the more convenient way to go).
My only concern is that there is not a program that is analogous to the =

I am an extremely cheap fellow, but I want to use
multiple changers with optical output, but cannot
justify your new mixer (cool as it may be). I was on
a long drive yesterday, and I had a thought (probably
not a good one, but here goes:
Could you create 1-emitter/n-detector(s) for the
slinke to plug into the TX RX ports that were not IR,
but the frequency for digital/toslink, not to use as a
mixer, but just a digital switcher. I know nothing
about the details (perhaps the data rate is too high
for slinke) If not, I assume this would be a cool
(relatively cheap) addition to the nirvis bag of
tricks.
If this is babble, don't mind me, I'm a software guy,
so I always assume data streams are data streams.
Thanks for a great product.
BTW has anyone built Colby's budget analog mixer? How
bad are the audio results?

Logitech also makes a great wireless keyboard/mouse combo (RF based) that's
good for up to about 10 feet (with the receiver hidden). I picked one up at
CompUSA for $99. They had an IR based "store brand" keyboard for $40, but I

Yep. Not too impressed. I had to set the monitor to 480x600 just to
get adequate resolution. Others may have had better luck, or my TV is
simply too old. The range they claim is also suspect. If you don't
have that far to go (on the order of 30-40') it might be OK. The remote
mouse has even less range capabilities. Check out an earlier blurb
about the X10 remote mouse.

A proprietary serial data transfer protocol initially developed for power

I tried a couple of different scan converters for my TV (including DVD
Anywhere) and wasn't happy with any of them. I'm just gritting my teeth and
biding my time until I can get an HDTV and do it right. One of my big
criteria for DTV is that it has a direct VGA (computer) input. So far, only
some of the front projection devices offer this.
I'm hoping that when I get a DTV into my system I'll be able to easily surf

Does anyone know a handy way to short albums alphabetically by artist

The obvious solution is in the database use another field to input the
artist name in desired format for shorting.
But the problem still is how to get CDJ to use that field / (index).
Any suggestion ?
(If I remember correctly, in "customize header" there was no way to

Is there any hidden gems of CDJ that I'm unaware of that allow to use

The reason why you didn't see any replies is because this is an old long
time standing issue. Many discussions have already taken place on this
topic. One way to do this is to write an Access query that'll do the job
for you rather than manual edit. You can even set it up so that you have a
Windows shortcut that'll launch Access, open the database, and run a script
that'll run the query. But you do need to click on the shortcut to run it
manually.
Hope this helps.

Has anyone else experimented with this or a similar product? Anyone

I purchased an Entrega USB hub with 4 serial ports, plus another hub
which just has 4 USB ports.
A 6' cable goes from the windoze box to the 4-port USB hub, and then a
much longer cable (4 or 5 meters) goes to the 4-port-serial USB hub, which
is sufficient to get me to the next room and into the equipment closet.
This is really cool, as I needed 4 serial ports to be situated in that
closet: one for slink-e, one for DXS, one for HomeVision, and one for
the Linn Intersekt.
You just plug these suckers into a windoze box and messages come up
indicating that new serial ports have gestated, and whalah, Viola, things
just work.
Only problem with the Entrega is that the serial ports are physically
close together, you have to trim the fat off the connectors.

I successfully used the Infowave through a wall at about 20 feet. It
was a struggle. It took a few hours of experimentation to figure out
the correct order to run everything to get it to connect.
Unfortunately, that was over a year ago (I dumped the setup because the
Infowave interfered with a 900MHz remote I was using) and I really can't
give you anything useful, except that it can be done. There might be
more info in a little review I wrote for the Nirvis BBS--a search should
bring it up quickly. Good luck.

Subject: [slinkelist] Remote operation of slinke?
Since everybody seems to be on the topic of remote operation...
My problem is that I can't locate my PC running CDJ physically near
the slinke. I need a remote serial link. To this end, I have
purchased an Innowave 900MHz wireless serial link to connect the serial
port of the PC to the slinke 20 ft. away, but have been unable to get
the PC to see the slinke. It sees and talks to a modem just fine.
Has anyone else experimented with this or a similar product? Anyone
devised another clever way to connect their PC to the slinke?
Any help greatly appreciated as I can't use CDJ at the moment and it's
KILLING me!
Thanks in advance,
-John

Is it possible for you to run CAT-5 cable?
We have used this with the Slink-e located about 50 feet from the
computer. Making the cable is extremely easy with the modular to DB-9
adapters. More information is located at:

I just posted a similar complaint/solution on the BBS after searching
didn't come up with anything really useful. My need is to have CDJ
display the artists in the order I specify, so the query doesn't help
there.
The solution (two "artist" fields in the album table--one to use for
sorting and the other to use for display) seems simple to retrofit into
CDJ without much work or worry--hopefully we'll see it implemented soon.

The reason why you didn't see any replies is because this is an old long
time standing issue. Many discussions have already taken place on this
topic. One way to do this is to write an Access query that'll do the
job
for you rather than manual edit. You can even set it up so that you
have a
Windows shortcut that'll launch Access, open the database, and run a
script
that'll run the query. But you do need to click on the shortcut to run
it
manually.
Hope this helps.
George Tang
P.S. Check the Nirvis BBS for other ideas on this topic.

Well I didn't see any replies. It'd be nice if CDJ did this for you but
not
many programs have this feature for sorting lists.
I've taken to solving it the brute force way ... manual editing. I've
gone
through my titles and changed all the album names like "The XXXXXX" to
"XXXXXX, The". In some cases I just dropped "the" or "a", but most of
the
time I use the ",".
For whatever it's worth,
Scott

Does anyone know a handy way to short albums alphabetically by artist
name ignoring the "The" and "a" and "an" article or the first name of
artist without altering the name itself ?
The obvious solution is in the database use another field to input the
artist name in desired format for shorting.
But the problem still is how to get CDJ to use that field / (index).
Any suggestion ?
(If I remember correctly, in "customize header" there was no way to
include any additional text fields)
Is there any hidden gems of CDJ that I'm unaware of that allow to use
alternative index on database ?

Colby and David,
This might be helpful on this topic. I have a database that I use for my
Karaoke. As any of you who goes to Karaoke knows that sorting is a big
issue. This is how I implemented the database.
There are two fields, one labeled Last Name/Group Name and the other one
labeled First Name/Literary Words. This way, you only need to enter the
artist information once. Then I have codes that will sort by the first
field and then second field (Last Name - First Name or Group Name - Literary
Words). The Last/first Name is obvious. The Literary words would be all
the "The", "A", and "An". When I need to display the artist, I simply
display the second field first and then the first field (First Name - Last
Name or Literary Words - Group Name). For those group names that do not
start with a literary word, simply leave the second field blank. And the
display must be intellegent enough to not put a space in between the two
fields if the Literary field is blank. For those one name artists, like
Cher or Blondie, I put them in the first field as Last Names.
The only bitch about this method is that CDDB does not support this method.
So for those who want to take advantage of this, would have to manually
enter the artists. This method has worked flawlessly in my Karaoke
database.

I just posted a similar complaint/solution on the BBS after searching didn't
come up with anything really useful. My need is to have CDJ display the
artists in the order I specify, so the query doesn't help there.
The solution (two "artist" fields in the album table--one to use for sorting
and the other to use for display) seems simple to retrofit into CDJ without
much work or worry--hopefully we'll see it implemented soon.

The reason why you didn't see any replies is because this is an old long
time standing issue. Many discussions have already taken place on this
topic. One way to do this is to write an Access query that'll do the job
for you rather than manual edit. You can even set it up so that you have a
Windows shortcut that'll launch Access, open the database, and run a script
that'll run the query. But you do need to click on the shortcut to run it
manually.
Hope this helps.

Well I didn't see any replies. It'd be nice if CDJ did this for you but not
many programs have this feature for sorting lists.
I've taken to solving it the brute force way ... manual editing. I've gone
through my titles and changed all the album names like "The XXXXXX" to
"XXXXXX, The". In some cases I just dropped "the" or "a", but most of the
time I use the ",".
For whatever it's worth,

Does anyone know a handy way to short albums alphabetically by artist
name ignoring the "The" and "a" and "an" article or the first name of
artist without altering the name itself ?
The obvious solution is in the database use another field to input the
artist name in desired format for shorting.
But the problem still is how to get CDJ to use that field / (index).
Any suggestion ?
(If I remember correctly, in "customize header" there was no way to
include any additional text fields)
Is there any hidden gems of CDJ that I'm unaware of that allow to use
alternative index on database ?

George, this approach wouldn't solve my problem and seems more complex
than necessary. Any solution that doesn't allow me to sort based on a
non-displayed field just won't be flexible enough. The "sort
field/display field" solution is intuitive to use, simple to implement,
and powerful enough to allow complete control over sort order (for
example, subsorting albums by an artist chronologically).

Subject: [slinkelist] Remote operation of slinke?
For 20 feet, it isn't worth bothering with a wireless link unless
you just cannot get a cable between the 2 locations. I'm running
a 50 foot cable between my PC and slinke (two 25' serial cables
connected together) without a problem. I had to cut a hole in the
kitchen floor to get through to the basement, but it was much
easier than the alternatives.

No, I never got a response from Nirvis, although I sent a repeat to
slinkelist about 4-6 weeks ago. There was one early reply from
someone who made a copy of the cd but added a few seconds to one of
the songs, making the copy cd a different length so CDJ would see it
as a different disk. He had to manually type in the titles, though.
Nirvis, any help here?

Jeff, David suggested just burning a straight copy of one of the discs.
This worked great for my situation. I didn't have to futz with altering
track times or anything--just did my usual automagic digital source
record and the timings are just different enough to resolve the conflict
with CDDB. I also didn't need to do anything manual--the disc simply
came up as an "inexact match" but as the correct album. I picked one of
the offerings and from there it worked just like every other CD in my
collection.
I'm guessing that "adding a few seconds" to one of the tracks is not
necessary and is in fact why your friend didn't get a hit on CDDB.

Subject: [slinkelist] Sorting albums
Reading recent messages on the list, it looks like I'm not the only one that
needs a way to define the sort order. Besides the issues I have (see
below), other people seem to be having a problem with albums/artists
starting with "A" or "The" as well as the "I want to see 'Dean Martin' but
sort by 'Martin, Dean'" issue.
A user defined sort field would solve all of these issues. It would require
some manual entry, but I end up doing a lot of manual cleanup on the CDDB
entries anyway. A more general solution would be, for example, "User1"
through "User4" fields that could be displayed as sortable columns in the
"Library" and "Search" window lists.
(Messages rearranged in chronological order)
>>In CDJ, could you please add "sort" and/or "genere" fields to the
>>details for a CD? I have just under 400 CDs (with two more changers on
>>order) under CDJ management and generally just use the "Library" window.

>>I'd like the CD list to break into logical groups, so Dead Can Dance and

Subject: [slinkelist] Sorting
The Titletrack Jukebox Player for the Mac/slinke combo handles sorting by
having both an Artist field and also an 'offset' field that allows the user
to specify which word in the Artist field (i.e. the 'offset') the user
wishes to sort by.
For example:
Artist: Merle Haggard
Offset: 2 (Haggard)
Artist: The Statler Brothers
Offset: 2 (Statler)
Artist: Tom T. Hall
Offset: 3 (Hall)
You get the idea by now, I'm sure.
BTW, the program interface doen't require specifying the offset _number_,
but rather the offset _word_, which is selectable from a menu.

Subject: [slinkelist] database programming for hire?
I have a database (Foxpro dbf's) of my songs which lists how much I like each song. I would like this transferred over to the CDJ's database. I'm guessing it's a fairly small amount of work with Access, but I don't feel like messing around with this. Anybody interested in bidding on this? I can provide more details if needed.

Subject: [slinkelist] Using DB-9 adapters and straight RJ-45
While I have read the instructions regarding using the above to connect the
Slink-E to my computer (I need to run about twenty-five feet and would like
to do it through wall plates), there's not enough information for me to be
sure exactly how to do it.
What is the specific wiring requirements? One DB-9/RJ-45 male adapter, one
DB-9/RJ45 female adapter and 25 feet of networking cable? Or something else?
Also where can I order these things? Any recommendations would be greatly
appreciated.

------ =_NextPart_000_01BF4B02.94800960
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
I know the following discussion is somewhat of a rehash of past posts =
about duplicate IDs, but I think it was always stated that it was just =
the nature of the beast and there wasn't anything that could be done =
about it. And I also remember some posts saying this has been improved =
and should rarely occur, if ever. But I have the same scenario as Jeff =
Schaffer, where CDDB has no problem ID'ing two disks individually with =
exact matches, but CDJ keeps getting the two of them confused. I don't =
understand why this is. If it were the other way around (CDDB having =
the problem instead of CDJ), I could believe it, but since CDJ obtains =
all the information that gets sent to CDDB, why is CDJ having a problem, =
and not CDDB?
My two disks exhibiting this problem are "Siouxsie And The Banshees - =
Hyaena" and "The Pointer Sisters - Serious Slammin'". For clarity in =
the following discussion, I will call them Disk A and Disk B =
respectively. They both have 10 songs and are both identical time in =
total length. Individual songs are different in length between the two =
disks, however. If I delete both disks from CDJ and then just put Disk =
A back in, it IDs it correctly using CDDB and works fine. If I then put =
in Disk B in another slot and attempt to ID it, CDJ assumes I have moved =
Disk A and reassigns its track data to this new slot where I have =
inserted Disk B. It does this without doing a CDDB inquiry. The old =
slot (which still has Disk A in it), is marked empty. If I now attempt =
to ID Disk A slot again, CDJ moves the track data back to the Disk A =
slot and the Disk B slot is marked empty (even though it still has Disk =
B in it). Thankfully, CDJ doesn't go back and see what is now in this =
newly empty slot, or it would get stuck in an endless loop. Disk A =
track data just keeps getting swapped back and forth everytime I try to =
ID the empty slot. After the initial exact match of Disk A on CDDB, it =
never goes back to CDDB for the Disk B data.
Now if I take both disks out and delete them from CDJ, then start the =
whole process over again beginning this time with Disk B, then I get an =
exact match of Disk B track data from CDDB. You guessed it. Now the =
Disk B track data gets swapped back and forth between the two slots, =
without ever going back to CDDB.
I know the solution is real simple: Decide which disk I like best, and =
deep six the other. Not a big deal, but it is driving me crazy. How =
come CDDB can identify them, but CDJ can't? How does CDJ assign CDJID? =
I looked at the slink-e data log during an ID process, and the only =
thing in common is the number of tracks and total length. So I looked =
for another set of two disks with the same number of tracks and same =
total length. In my collection of CD's I had one other set of two that =
matched these conditions. I tried this same experiment and neither CDDB =
or CDJ had a problem with this new set. Incidentally, I don't see any =
kind of disk ID number in the slink-e log, when attempting to ID a disk =
from CDDB. Is there really a disk ID number that is sent to CDDB and if =
so, why isn't it shown in the slink-e log?
Colby, I'm sure you have a good explanation, or solution. If not, I =
could throw both of the offending CD's your way, for experimentation. =
In my book, this is a low priority problem, but it does drive me crazy.
Slink-e, CDJ, DXS, and the new MiniDisk Manager are all great products! =
I use them all extensively with hardly a hitch. Not many =
hardware/software/mechanical interaction products that work together so =
seemlessly. Just ask the Mars exploration team. (Was that disgruntled =
DXS customer a member of that team and had just finished a really =
freakin bad week?)
Thanks for a great product,

Subject: RE: [slinkelist] RE: Duplicate disk ID problem
Jeff, David suggested just burning a straight copy of one of the discs. =
This worked great for my situation. I didn't have to futz with altering =
track times or anything--just did my usual automagic digital source =
record and the timings are just different enough to resolve the conflict =
with CDDB. I also didn't need to do anything manual--the disc simply =
came up as an "inexact match" but as the correct album. I picked one of =
the offerings and from there it worked just like every other CD in my =
collection.
I'm guessing that "adding a few seconds" to one of the tracks is not =
necessary and is in fact why your friend didn't get a hit on CDDB.

Subject: [slinkelist] Xantech - slinke connecting ? and X10 beginner help
Folks,
I've had my slink-e for about 6 months now and love it. I have my audio gear
tucked away in my basement. I have a Xantech multiple channel pre-amp and
amps, I have Xantech IR receivers in each room (and emitters in the basement
to route IR signals to the Xantech and other audio devices). Up to now I
have been using the slink-e just to control my Sony 300 CD juke box with the
very nice CDJ software. I use a Pronto remote to control the rest of my
system including the Sony CD jukebox (when I'm not using the CDJ to play a
play-list). I've noticed that since I don't have a feed from the IR bus to
slink-e that when I am controlling the Sony jukebox with CDJ, my IR commands
to the Sony with a remote don't always "take".
My question(s):
1) I think I should be able to feed the IR signal (collected and routed by
my Xantech system) to the slink-e (and thus have some control over the CDJ
software). How do I bridge the IR signal from my Xantech IR bus to my
slink-e? I considered simply taping IR emitter to IR receiver, but there
must be a better way.
2) I recently purchased some X-10 "stuff" including the CM11a... How do I
set up control of X-10 devices thru the slink-e? I've browsed the help (so
please no RTFM flames) and it looks like there is support in the slink-e
device and slink-e server to route signals to the X-10 devices but how does
one originate a signal to send to an X-10 device? I've added the CM11a
device file, and slink-e server can "see" the CM11a. But is there a macro
capability in either the CDJ or slink-e server software? What I've read up
to now in the help indicates to me that there is an ActiveX open interface
implemented, but I've yet found an application which uses this interface...
am I way out in left field here ?
thanks for any help,
Vann

The fundamental problem is that the Sony changers don't provide enough
information for CDJ to calculate the full CDDB id. Instead it has to
use a partial match to get an entry.
This is the same reason that CDJ doesn't have the option for submitting
entries into CDDB.

Subject: [slinkelist] Sony MD 920
I just bought my Sony 920 Minidisc recorder off of E-bay. I got it home
last night, and tried hooking it into my S-link setup, and am having
bigtime problems. When I hook it into the Slink-e, the activity light goes
almost solid amber, but it doesn't register in the device list. I've tried
both S-link ports on the MD deck and different ports on the Slink-e. I
tried hooking it up directly to the CD changer I have (300 disc changer),
which is working perfectly with the Slink-E.
The MD deck says it will control the changer via slink, but I also get a
"No connect" from them. I'm using a mono 1/8" male to male that I bought
at Radio Shack.
Anyone out there with a 920 that wants to offer some advice?
Oh, I did go into CDJ and turn on the traffic window. Despite the amber
traffic light, there is nothing registering in CDJ in the traffic window.

Subject: [slinkelist] RE: Duplicate disk ID problem
OK. Here's why:
1. CDDB ID uses a hash number based on the playing times of all the tracks
on the CD.
2. Using the info the player provides, the two CDs you own have the same
CDDB ID.
3. When CDJ does CDDB lookups, it also provides all of the individual track
timing info to CDDB, which allows it to do better inexact matching. This is
why CDDB can distinguish the two discs.
4. When CDJ is looking to see if two discs are the same, it only uses the
CDDB ID number, which causes it to mistake the the two discs for each
other. This is a fixable problem, we just haven't addressed it yet.

Subject: [slinkelist] Xantech - slinke connecting ? and X10 beginner help
Hi Vann-
1) I have designed just such a circuit. You can find the schematics for it
at
http://www.nirvis.com/xantech.htm
depending on the number of people interested, I may build such a device to
adapt to Xantech. Electronics are required because the Xantech system
contains the IR carrier whereas the slink-e IR inputs do not.
2) The X10 device commands are described in the help under
The SlinkX ActiveX control -> CM11a X10 Interface
For example, if you loaded the cm11a.cde device in CDJ and called it "x10",
you could issue the following command to turn on a light at address A1:
x10:on[a1]
likewise, you could create a macro in your map file where sending command to
A2 from an X10 keypad starts / stops your playlist:
x10:on[a2] {cdj:playlist_play}
x10:off[a2] {cdj:playlist_stop}

help
Folks,
I've had my slink-e for about 6 months now and love it. I have my audio gear
tucked away in my basement. I have a Xantech multiple channel pre-amp and
amps, I have Xantech IR receivers in each room (and emitters in the basement
to route IR signals to the Xantech and other audio devices). Up to now I
have been using the slink-e just to control my Sony 300 CD juke box with the
very nice CDJ software. I use a Pronto remote to control the rest of my
system including the Sony CD jukebox (when I'm not using the CDJ to play a
play-list). I've noticed that since I don't have a feed from the IR bus to
slink-e that when I am controlling the Sony jukebox with CDJ, my IR commands
to the Sony with a remote don't always "take".
My question(s):
1) I think I should be able to feed the IR signal (collected and routed by
my Xantech system) to the slink-e (and thus have some control over the CDJ
software). How do I bridge the IR signal from my Xantech IR bus to my
slink-e? I considered simply taping IR emitter to IR receiver, but there
must be a better way.
2) I recently purchased some X-10 "stuff" including the CM11a... How do I
set up control of X-10 devices thru the slink-e? I've browsed the help (so
please no RTFM flames) and it looks like there is support in the slink-e
device and slink-e server to route signals to the X-10 devices but how does
one originate a signal to send to an X-10 device? I've added the CM11a
device file, and slink-e server can "see" the CM11a. But is there a macro
capability in either the CDJ or slink-e server software? What I've read up
to now in the help indicates to me that there is an ActiveX open interface
implemented, but I've yet found an application which uses this interface...
am I way out in left field here ?
thanks for any help,
Vann

Altex has the DB-9 to RJ45 adapters for $1.99 each. Part number ma9f-8ts
and ma9m-8ts. You have to insert the individual pins into the D-sub shell,
so you can do whatever pinout you want.
I'm assuming (correct this post if I'm wrong) that the slink-e doesn't use
the ring indicator, so ignore pin 9 on both ends.
I've attached the cheat sheet I use when building these things. The color
code/pinout is just one I made up. If the line drawing characters show up
weird, save the file to DOS and "MORE< RS232.TXT" from a prompt.

While I have read the instructions regarding using the above to connect the
Slink-E to my computer (I need to run about twenty-five feet and would like
to do it through wall plates), there's not enough information for me to be
sure exactly how to do it.
What is the specific wiring requirements? One DB-9/RJ-45 male adapter, one
DB-9/RJ45 female adapter and 25 feet of networking cable? Or something else?
Also where can I order these things? Any recommendations would be greatly
appreciated.

S-link is a very slow interface (2400 baud). I doubt that Sony would have
included such a feature as it would be painfully slow.

If you add a device file for the receiver in CDJ then you can watch the
S-link traffic while it's happening and see how it's done.

will be 8 wires in each connector. Place one wire in each of the pin
holes 1-8 in the DB-9

end. Make sure to use
the same colors wires for the same numbered pins on each end!!

Hi Marc,
The Slink-e software cones with device files for Sony receivers. Depending

ampsls.cde has codes for selecting inputs.

It really depends on what you are trying to do. CDJ has a mapping file
capability that will allow you to have x-10 signals triggered by other
Slink-e events. If you just want to be able to press buttons and have x-10
events happen then a modified version of our TV Remote program would work.

For what it's worth, here is what I have done.
I have entered album names into the library in the way I needed to get =
the library to sort the way I want. So albums by The Cars are entered =
as "Cars, The" in the library, and so on. To keep compilations together =
I prefaced all compilation album names with "Compilation", e.g., =
"Compilation-The Big 80's". I do the same with Christmas music (all =
album names start with "Christmas") and with Childrens (album names =
start with "Childrens").
In the track information, you will note that there is a column for =
"artist" (add it if you don't have it by customizing the track view). =
This column defaults to the album name in the library but CAN BE CHANGED =
on a track-by-track basis. So for example for a compilation you can put =
the individual artist names into the track information window for each =
track. I believe Colby made the artists customizable on a track basis =
in order to allow proper entry of compilations.
Now the trick.
After I set up my library with album names that will sort correctly, I =
then went back to the Artist column in the track information and typed =
in the album name the way I want it to appear. So an album by The Cars =
which has "Cars, The" under the album name in the library, has "The =
Cars" listed as the artist for every track in the track window. THis =
way, CDJ's title bar will list songs as by "The Cars" rather than "Cars, =
The". CDJ will also report "The Cars" rather than "Cars, The" in slinkx =
events so that the SlinkySaver will also display "The Cars" rather than =
"Cars, The" when it plays a song off the album. So, you get the library =
sorted the way you want and you get artist names listed the way you want =
in CDJ's title bar and SlinkySaver.
It was a pain in the butt to revise all of the library entries to follow =
this approach, but I think it was worth it.
Hope this helps anyone that reads it.

Serial ports use the negative supply rail (About the only thing in a PC
that does), if the power supply did anything stupid when it blew up it
may have blown the serial port driver up.
Try a mouse or something on the port, but thats not a conclustive
indication since mice dont need a negative rail to operate. Otherwise
try a modem or something on the same port and check that it works ok..

One other possibility is the cable. At one time I bought a cable from
some
store, and it wreaked havoc with my s-link system. Upon further
investigation
it turned out to have a 10 ohm resistor (shunt) in one of the
connectors.
I don't what it was intended for, but I just threw it away....

Thanks to all who responded!
As it turned out, I had bought an attenuating cable instead of a patch
cable. I still haven't quite figured out what you use an attenuating cable
for, but it sure isn't for S-Link. :)
So for anyone who goes to Radio Shack to buy cables, pay closer attention
than I did and don't get the attenuating cable. The bag is labelled, but
it doesn't stand out. The cable itself is not labelled at all. The only
difference is that the ends where the 1/8th inch plug is held are slightly
thicker than the patch cable, but you couldn't tell without a proper one to
compare.

Hi Judd,
I think you want to determine if it is the serial port or the Slink-e. Try
getting another serial device to work on the same port and try using the
slink-e on another computer. This should give you some significant data to
narrow down the problem.

Subject: [slinkelist] Slinke, custom app and Sony CDP-CX300
It's been a while, so I thought I might make this query again... I still
have not
been able to figure this out.
I have written a custom database application that uses the Slinke and
the
Slinke custom control.
I have a Sony CDP-CX205 player and a Sony CDP-CX300 player connected.
I am using the device file for the Sony 200 disk changer, the only one I
know
of.
I am NOT using CDJ.
Problem: I can only get the software to recognize the first 200 disks in
the 300
disk changer using this device file. The device file allows only 8 bits
for the
disk number, and using the BCD numbering scheme the highest number
allowed
is FE which is disk 200. I have been told that I do not need a separate
device
file for the 300 disk changer, but I don't understand how that would
work.
Switching the player to Control A1 II doesn't help, in fact most
commands
don't work in that mode through this device file.
There must be a trick to this, because CDJ figures it out and allows all
300
disks, but I am not using CDJ.
Anybody know how CDJ does this trick? How to get the Slinke custom
control with the 200 disk .CDE file to recognize the 300 disk player?
I'm almost done with my project, and now have 100 inaccessible slots in
the
player.
HELP!

Yes I would like to know what is the code for selecting discs 201 to 300
on a 300 sony disc changer.
As you say the highest 8 bit decimal number is 200.
So would someone kindly tell us what is the format.
Many Thanks

Hi Folks !
If I start CDJ and start a CD with it in my CDP-350,
is it possible to send a command that the player
show the text line in the display and not the time.
It would be very nice if this works automatic.

Hi Gerd,
There is a time/text button on the player that will do that.

Subject: [slinkelist] Xantech - slinke connecting ? and X10 beginner help
Would the circuit you are considering building to address the first issue
resolve the problem I am having getting CDJ to control slave players when the
masters are set to mode 2? I haven't found anyone to build the circuit you
had posted on your Web site, so if the circuit you are considering would make
my set-up work, it would help me. (To recap, I had a 90ES controlling a slave
and a 270 controlling a slave. I have just bought another 270, which will
sit alone until it fills up, an event I hope rests in the distant future. I
won't have trouble adding the new 270 to my Slink-e, will I?)

Hi Vann-
1) I have designed just such a circuit. You can find the schematics for it
at
http://www.nirvis.com/xantech.htm
depending on the number of people interested, I may build such a device to
adapt to Xantech. Electronics are required because the Xantech system
contains the IR carrier whereas the slink-e IR inputs do not.
2) The X10 device commands are described in the help under
The SlinkX ActiveX control -> CM11a X10 Interface
For example, if you loaded the cm11a.cde device in CDJ and called it "x10",
you could issue the following command to turn on a light at address A1:
x10:on[a1]
likewise, you could create a macro in your map file where sending command to
A2 from an X10 keypad starts / stops your playlist:
x10:on[a2] {cdj:playlist_play}
x10:off[a2] {cdj:playlist_stop}

help
Folks,
I've had my slink-e for about 6 months now and love it. I have my audio gear
tucked away in my basement. I have a Xantech multiple channel pre-amp and
amps, I have Xantech IR receivers in each room (and emitters in the basement
to route IR signals to the Xantech and other audio devices). Up to now I
have been using the slink-e just to control my Sony 300 CD juke box with the
very nice CDJ software. I use a Pronto remote to control the rest of my
system including the Sony CD jukebox (when I'm not using the CDJ to play a
play-list). I've noticed that since I don't have a feed from the IR bus to
slink-e that when I am controlling the Sony jukebox with CDJ, my IR commands
to the Sony with a remote don't always "take".
My question(s):
1) I think I should be able to feed the IR signal (collected and routed by
my Xantech system) to the slink-e (and thus have some control over the CDJ
software). How do I bridge the IR signal from my Xantech IR bus to my
slink-e? I considered simply taping IR emitter to IR receiver, but there
must be a better way.
2) I recently purchased some X-10 "stuff" including the CM11a... How do I
set up control of X-10 devices thru the slink-e? I've browsed the help (so
please no RTFM flames) and it looks like there is support in the slink-e
device and slink-e server to route signals to the X-10 devices but how does
one originate a signal to send to an X-10 device? I've added the CM11a
device file, and slink-e server can "see" the CM11a. But is there a macro
capability in either the CDJ or slink-e server software? What I've read up
to now in the help indicates to me that there is an ActiveX open interface
implemented, but I've yet found an application which uses this interface...
am I way out in left field here ?
thanks for any help,
Vann

I have been using VNC on my SpacrStations and PCs with Solaris x86
running on them.
To tell you the truth, the only reason I have a PC with Microsoft OS on
it in te house
is to run 1) Quicken , 2 ) CDJ.
I wish that whole CDJ s/w was ported to Java so that we can leave this
horrible
Microsoft s/w behind. But meanwhile, VNC is the second best thing until
Colby
switches over to Java.

John,
I agree that SlinkServ and DCOM is a great way to go, but DCOM implies
a few things that may or may not be a problem for you. For instance; I
have only Win98 machines. DCOM requires that you run your Win98 machines
with User-Level Security. But to do that, you must have an
Authentication
server on your net {Win98 machines can NOT be Authentication
servers/Primary Domain Controllers ... only WinNT} so ! VNC made perfect
sense
for me .. no muss no fuss ... it just works ! I think it would make
sense
for Win95 only users too.
But if you have at least one WinNT machine and no Win95 machines, I
think you'd
be nuts not to use DCOM with SlinkServ since it's so much faster than
VNC.
Just my 2 cents

Ah, right. I remember reading that you needed to have NT on the network. At
the time I was running Windows 2000 RC2, but just didn't have the time to
get past seeing if it worked right off the bat.
I've also been using VNC for some time between work and home and to the
other PC around the house (on a LAN). VNC is great!

Subject: [slinkelist] Receiver Status from Slink
Does anyone have a small piece of vb code that show how to display the
status sent back on slink? i.e. current vol, mode, source name.
I tried calling the commands listed in the sony slink file but all I get
is -1. Might be a programming goof up on my part so fill free to
enlighten me.
Thanks,
Neil

Has anyone looked into the possiblity of having the slinke modified to
fit in a 5 1/4 drive bay? I would like to modify a front piece for the
IR rec. and make rear plates for IR/Slink/Control-s/Expanstion. The
main concearn is power. Could the slinke run off of the cpu voltage?

I have 3 Sony Changers, and have noticed that the outer edge of most of the
cd's are becoming rough. Some are worse than others -- as some cd's get
played more than others. All the changers are showing some signs of "wear"
on the cd's. Anyone else notice this problem? The changers are 220 and 240's.

Cross fading is not supported for MP3's.

I just purchased a Sony CDP-CX300 and slink-e. I love it. However, there
is a long pause when it switches from disc to disc. If I get a second
CDP-CX300 will I be able to do cross-fading or do I have to purchase
something else? I know I will have to alternate players between songs, but,
other than that do I have to buy additional equipment?
Thanks for the info.

You will also need an analog mixer. These can be purchased pretty cheaply
or built from the plans on our web site or you can use the one built into
the player if you're willing to open it and clip a resistor.

Yes. There are a few ways, all with plusses and minuses. First of all you have
to decide which of the followings are important to you.
1) No delay play. That is when one song ends , another immediately starts
2) Cross fading. That is next song starts before the current one ends and
they are cross faded.
3) Analog connection to the receiver.
4) SPDIF connection to the receiver.
1 & 3 is possible with just 2 players and an analog mixer.
Analog mixer could just be a resistor network. Colby has a schematic for this.
2& 3 is also possible with the above setup.
1 & 4 requires you to purchase a DXS unit.
2 & 4 is NOT possible at this time(cheaply). Until/if/when Colby's DSP module is
designed/manufactured/sold , the only way you'll be able to do it is thru a
fancy
SPDIF Mixer card. It will not be true cross fading, but mixing. However since
both CD players are running on different (asynchronous SPDIF clocks),
mixing becomes pretty hard. Professional equips run on master clocks
circumventing this stuff.

If you're using the analog outputs, you can connect your slave player's
audio output into the master player's aux input. No special mixers are
required then. I have my Sony CDP-CX260 connected to my CDP-CX350 and it
works fine.

Is it possible to take control over the amplifyer using S-Link? It seems =
