It is unregulated to the transmitters so they will run brighter. The receivers have their own regulators so no problem there. The only possible concern is that the regulators will run hotter so the things around them will be hotter too which could possible cause thermal problems but most likely all will be fine.

I wanted to address the first one 2 and the other 3 on the slink bus. They have a feature to control the other unit when set to these numbers, which is ok with me. When CDJ finds the units, one Primary, the other Remote, it has problems downloading the CD Title, Artist, and Track information to the Primary unit for the secondary unit. The reason I wanted this configuration is because I have a third CD 5 disc changer (CDP-CA9ES) that does not have the ability to set an adress, it is 1. I don't necessarily want to attach this unit to the Slinke but I want my remote to be able to control only one unit at a time, thus I need unique addresses 1, 2 and 3. I don't really care if the CDP-CX90ES unit controls the other because both units have the ability to store track information, however it seems to switch to this mode when they are addressed 2 and 3.

I'm not exactly clear on what you are trying to do, but if your goal is to hook both changers up to the STR-DB930, you should be able to do this. You can then set up CDJ to automatically switch between the inputs depending on which player is playing. I'm not sure it works with the 930, but on some receivers you can also get the inputs to switch if you connect the s-link port of the player and the receiver together. This is limited to switching between only two inputs typically.

Could someone on the list give me a hand with using X10 commands and the CM11a with CDJ. I want to start a playlist, Sleep & Awaken CDJ using X10 commands. I know it should be simple, but I don't see where CDJ translates A1 AON to playlistXXX. Thanks Parker From parkdog@ix.netcom.com Tue, 07 Mar 2000 19:39:19 -0600 Date: Tue, 07 Mar 2000 19:39:19 -0600 From: Marc Parker parkdog@ix.netcom.com Subject: [slinkelist] X10 Commands? I think I figured most of it out. By ADDing the device file CM11a (in your device file under MISC) You get the X10 functionality. What ever you name it in the ADD DEVICE dialog is what you will use to address the CM11a. IE: X10:on[a1] {rec:power_on} Will turn the device "rec" ON when Slinke-serv receives an x10 signal from device "X10". Be careful to use exactly the device name and capitalization. I was having problems when I found I referred to X10:on[A1] instead of X10:[a1]. It made a difference. I then placed the following lines in the event MAP (Go to Map under View/Options/MAPs and use EDIT. Don't forget to rename it so you don't overwrite it during CDJ updates) X10:on[a1] {cdj:awaken} X10:off[a1] {cjd:sleep} X10:on[a2] {cdj:playlist_play} X10:off[a2] {cdj:playlist_stop} These commands and LOTS more are all found under the CDJ help index. This is SUPER basic, but once you start to understand it the realm of capabilities becomes evident, and it is exciting. Check out the last example in your MAPS file regarding starting and playing random music. This can easily be changed to work from an X10 prompt. Finally I am about to impress my wife with HA. She always hated going to my computer, launching CDJ and starting a random playlist. NOW, I will set up ONE X10 Button so she can press it from ANYWHERE in the house and it will Awaken CDJ and start playing a random list. THIS will excite her (relatively speaking :-) To most on this list this little exercise is probably supremely basic, but for me, I am happy to have "figured it out". It now adds tons more functionality to an already great piece of equipment/software.

Oh, BTW, the proper syntax is amp_sls:input[15]. I don't know if the square brackets are required since I'm at work so I can't try it without the square bracket.

Darren, The variable for the input is a hex code, not a "tv". The hex code varies from receiver to receiver. You'll have to experiment a bit, but you can use the ones in the ampsls.cde file as a starting point. For example: amp_sls:input 15 is the TV on some receivers. I have the vol issue as well. I have 4 vol+/- in my map file. I wish there's a way to do either a vol level command like vol 40 or something like that. Good luck.

I have 3 goals: 1. power on tuner, then select TV/DBS as the source 2. volume up 3. volume down All of them are failing. I have a DA30ES. I also have a sony TV. So I have loaded the amp_sls.cde and tv.cde files from the sony directory of the device files directory. Sonytv:?? (haven't figured out what to map to this yet, but I'm subbing temp commands such as vol+) { receiver:power_on receiver:input tv } Receiver powers up fine... but no matter what "variable" I shove next to input, it defaults to the radio tuner. Also: the DishPlayer remote really only has 3 non-dish controls: vol+, vol-, and PIP. So PIP was going to have to be my receiver power_on command. But TV.CDE doesn't have a mapping for PIP. I suppose I could sample it, but I have had bad luck with this. sonytv:vol+ { receiver:vol+ } Should be simple... but it just doesn't work right. The volume control barely moves. If I add multiple receiver:vol+ commands, it moves slightly more, slowly. Add yet more and I crash CDJ (server busy error).

It's fairly sensitive to being bumped or rocked about. One good bump would knock the disks out of the mechanism. I suspect that 5 disk changers would be fine.

That would mean removing the cover and putting all the CDs back into the carousel. The tricky bit would be making sure they all went back into the _right_ slots - the sony changers remember the track/title information by physical slot number, not by checking the actual CD that's in the slot. They also have to be inserted with the correct orientation - label side to the right. I'm not sure this is something an aircraft mechanic will have come across before. I agree with Jay - you'd be better off with a solution using a jukebox based on a hard disk. I'd suggest that you first take a look at the various MP3 jukeboxes designed for automobile use, since they're likely to be more shock-resistant. There's a list at: http://hardware.mp3.com/hardware/all/car/ The neatest one I've seen is the 'empeg car'. One consideration with MP3 systems - make sure the system supports some of the higher bitrates (at least 128 kbps, preferably more than that). Compressing the audio does degrade the quality a little, but most people can't hear significant differences between 128 kbps MP3 and CD audio. But if you have musically-inclined customers, they may - so you'd want to look at higher bit rates, (e.g. 160 kbps, 192 kbps, or more) to be sure they'll be satisfied. Though there's a fair amount of background noise in a plane in flight, my guess is that they'll first hear the system in the hanger, and first impressions count :-) I think the solution that would probably meet your needs best would be one of the professional hard-disk jukeboxes from Arrakis Systems (http://www.arrakis-systems.com). Their products were originally designed for professional markets, like radio stations. They do come with PC-based control software, but I've not used it. What makes them particularly suitable for your application is that they support multiple independent zones, so you could have different music playing for different passengers (unit comes with three zones, and can be expanded to 96). The 'pro' model supports balanced audio outputs - I don't know how long your wiring runs will be, but I'd imagine that the environment is electrically 'noisy'. While you could get balanced line drivers/receivers separately, it's better if the device actually outputs balanced audio in the first place. XLR connectors (the type used for balanced audio) are a lot more robust - and actually lock together. I'd be wary of temperature cycling and vibration working normal RCA connectors loose. If you do need to use RCA connectors, I would recommend looking at the line of 'locking' RCA connectors from WBT (http://www.wbtusa.com/). Their stuff is very expensive by consumer standards, but perhaps not by aircraft standards. It would be worth the extra money if it avoided connectors working loose. If those do prove to be too expensive, at least use the 'turbine' cut RCA plugs that MonsterCable (http://www.monstercable.com/) uses on its better cables - they hold pretty tight. Hope that gives you something to go on. Paul >On Thu, 9 Mar 2000 21:49:31 -0800, "Terri Shea" said: > >I am interested in a Slink-e on two levels.

Here is a picture of an almost-thin client: http://www.linux-hacker.net/iopener/ You would need to buy a little USB device to provide the serial and ethernet ports, but you wouldn't need a disk drive as large as the one in his example. The interesting deal is that is relatively small and not all that ugly to look at. It may actually pass the Spousal Living Room Standards Committee. ;) Although the base price is only $99, it may no longer be price-competitive after you get all the doo-dads necessary to make it work.

Edit / View - mode : to put somewhere in options a "View only" checkbox that disables all edits to the cdj (and saving library): So no one could accidentally drag&drop anything in cdj, or alter album/track names or delete entries. In View-mode double-click of >enter< would be equal to "Play now" or "Add to playlist" (the mouse pop-up menu is wayyy to intimating for some people) People not familiar with use of mouse (believe it or not but there are those) tend to drag&drop when they try to click, and specially when they try to double click, and that has disastrous effects in cdj. And this is not only for those "computer handicapped", but for those of us who use various wireless mouse/keyB combinations that sometimes don't do what they are told. I for one would like to see "just point what you want to hear and click 2 times, you can't do anything wrong"-cdj. So anybody on the party could use the cdj, and I wouldn't need to worry about my cdj-library. 2. The "Maps" have all kinds of events and actions, I'd love to be able to program actions to key presses. What I like to have is keyboard-events and cdj window actions. Actions that would bring to front/hide, adjust size & position of specified cdj window (albums, details, playlist). This would also solve the "save cdj windows positions", you could write a script that places&sizes the windows to your preferences on cdj startup (event) I think these 2 would be greatly appreciated by cdj community, or ... ? Cast your vote ! 3. And personally I like the cdj windows frames/borders to be narrower so that they would be able to display more data, specially the image/details window. (every additional letter to be displayed is victory ;)) I have emailed these suggestion to Colby, but I never gotten answer (maybe my address was wrong) so now I try get more attention to this matter. I know Colby is very busy, and maybe he thinks that these small details too insignificant to justify the amount of work. (maybe he's right) So I thought I'd ask the other user what they think about these suggestions. --"Would you fly on airplane controlled by MS Windows ?"-- From michael@laserle.fi Tue, 14 Mar 2000 09:37:09 +0200 Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2000 09:37:09 +0200 From: Michael Holopainen michael@laserle.fi Subject: [slinkelist] web GUI I think Colby has said something about it.

Have a look at insflug.org/slink, on the linux software section there's a linux transparent slink-e server by Sami-Pekka Haavisto. Dunno if you're referring to it when talking about slinke-server. We on the jukebox-control project are planning to write a PHP interface for it, on PHP, using MySQL as RBDMs, and interfacing with the S-Link controlling host via sockets to a daemon also. We'd like to support all hardware devices available (see hardware section of the OpenSlink site), so we will be glad if you join to support the slink-e.

As I was replacing/upgrading my stereo-television equipment in our den with newer equipment several years ago, I paid the extra to make sure that all of the individual components had the S-Link feature. Guess what ... when I finally finished purchasing all my components and tried to hook them up together so they would work conveniently, I couldn't get them to work. Dozens of hours and multiple telephone calls to Sony didn't work and I gave up! Some of you have been purchasing Sony A/V components with S-Link and won't know that it apparently doesn't work as advertised until you pay a premium to acquire other Sony components. What I didn't know was that apparently there are "known incompatibilities" (per Sony technical rep) among Sony components with the S-Link feature ... that many of us were finding that purchasing components with S-Link didn't assure "seamlessly" integrating our expensive Sony products .. and, that a complaint had even been made to the Federal Trade Commission about this apparently fraudulent advertising and lack of functionality. The final straw came when I purchased a new television and DVD for our bedroom here in Austin - both TV and DVD from Sony, supposedly S-Link compatible - and discovered that they weren't. Incredibly, despite the fact that the Home Theatre Planner, the Sony site, and the Fax-on-Demand service said the KV-27V66 had S-Link ... there was no female S-Link connector on the set. Isn't the Internet wonderful . . . after hours with Circuit City and Sony trying to fix my problem and to make sure that no-one else was a victim of this misrepresentation ... I went on the Net and discovered that many of you had the same problems as me. And that quite a few had complained to Sony individually and gotten virtually nowhere. Finally, a couple of us came to the realization that Sony had no intention of responding to us individually despite the inherent problems and apparent misrepresentation with S-Link connections ... that although they knew that they had design flaws which precluded functionality, they were stonewalling and not being helpful. We (thirteen of us now) are getting a law firm to represent those of us who have purchased a Sony product (supposedly with the S-Link feature) ... and trying to prove that ... "united we stand, divided we fall"! If you would like to participate by joining our group (at Zero cost to you), please reply with the following: Name Address Telephone Number/Fax (if you have one) E-mail address Model Numbers of your Sony products with S-Link Approximate date of purchase and store purchased from We'll keep you posted . . .

It works great with my Sony changers. One thing I'd like to do, is add a touch screen monitor to control my entire home theater system. I'm working on an app to control everything else, but CDJ is exactly what I want for CD's, so I don't want to have to write something else to control the changers. Here are a couple suggestions that would allow CDJ to be more touch screen friendly: 1. Give the ability to customize the toolbars. a. Allow the user to add/remove buttons. b. Give us a larger button size choice. 2. Put a right-mouse-click toggle button on the toolbar. This would allow the user to simulate right-mouse-clicks on the touch-screen when the toggle is on, or a left-mouse-click when the toggle is off. This button should probably be on it's own toolbar, so you can float it anywhere you like.

MP3 is MPEG1 Layer 3 (That's the audio layer). An MP3 is an MPEG1 file without the picture info. MPEG2 is the current standard used on DVD's and on DBS systems (The DBS systems tweak MPEG2 for their own purposes, but they only send to their decoders,so...) The next iteration of MPEG is MPEG4 which is meant for multimedia purposes. MPEG4 is based in large part on QuickTime. MPEG3 was skipped over due to the name confusion possibilities. There was MPEG3 development in progress, but it was abandoned when MPEG2 was chosen for DVD (and HDTV and DTV, more importantly) and development shifted to multimedia. There are currently competing MPEG2 audio "standards" from Sony and Phillips....(here we go again....). -Marty ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Holopainen To: Sent: Tuesday, March 14, 2000 11:10 PM Subject: [slinkelist] mpeg2 ???????? > Edron wrote : > " > Any plans for mpeg 2 support?

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding. CDJ isn't able to connect to Slinke-server (http://www.insflug.org/slink/software/unix/slinkeserver.php3) is it? I'm very excited about using Linux to control my slinke and changers, but I don't see being able to give up CDJ any time soon, but to be fair, I must say that haven't yet checked out the Linux juke-box programs yet. I've just gotten stuff programmed so that a small remote (I've got 10 of them) can be used in any of several rooms and "do the right thing." That is, control the volume on the correct amp, control the playlist in some rooms, vcr in others, etc. I'd be happy to dump Windoze, but not CDJ. -- Jay Pfaffman pfaffman@relax.com +1-615-343-1720 (office) +1-615-460-9299 (home) http://relax.ltc.vanderbilt.edu/~pfaffman/ Want $10 for free? https://secure.paypal.com/refer/pal=pfaffman%40relax.com From GeorgeT@concur.com Wed, 15 Mar 2000 12:32:42 -0800 Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2000 12:32:42 -0800 From: George Tang GeorgeT@concur.com Subject: [slinkelist] mpeg2 ????????

So it sounds like either the Linux slinke server has to be modified to talk DCOM or CDJ (and every other app that talks to Slink-serv) has to be modified to talk TCP.

Don't those apps work with CDJ? As long as they don't control the slink-e device directly, and pass commands to CDJ, I don't see the problem... Maybe there's a simpler approach, though. There are some third party drivers to emulate a COM port under windows, that really connect through TCP/IP to a server (there are a couple of them free for Linux, I guess it was called modemd or something). That way, and depending on the depth of hardware level that CDJ uses, you can hook the slink-e to a linux box, using CDJ et al with a minimum of fuss by installing that driver, and still be able to script the slink-e under linux with perl, PHP or whatever, or even have multiple (you'll had to coordinate them though) CDJ boxes access a central slink-e device. greets, *****---(*)---**********************************************----------> Francisco J.

My old Pentium 90 (which is used to run CDJ and control my Slink-e) can play MP3s as long as nothing else demands much of its resources. If I try to get online using a Winmodem, or anything else that imposes much processor load, it loses it on the MP3s. The machine which I would like to do this with (in the same room with the Slink-e) is out of reach of my living room, which means improvement awaits some means of controlling CDJ remotely. I keep reading the various postings describing how to do this, but none of them seem very hassle-free to me as of yet. Maybe someday....

I'm taking the low-fi approach by using an analog mixer to mix MP3s (from computer sound card) with the output of a Sony 200 disk changer into a single input on my receiver.

I have the device for my receiver loaded in the devices tab in the CDJ options menu. In my system, the PC sound card goes into the Tape inputs of the receiver. In my event mapping file I have the following entries: cdjr:using_player[cd1] {ampir:cd} cdjr:using_player[mp3] {ampir:tape} This will take care of the auto switching for different players. As far as additional system configuration, I have done the following with my device mapping file. I set up an additional house code on an extra X-10 RF base so I could interface the CM11a into CDJ. I wanted to be able to control my equipment from the garage and back patio area, but I didn't want to run an IR receiver and transmitter. Now, from a PalmPad I can do several things: - select different genres of music (country, soundtrack, rock, etc.) - build and play a random playlist using both CD's and MP3's (and the mapping example above switches the inputs) - Control functions of CD player and CDJ (next, previous, stop, pause, etc.) - Control functions of the amplifier (volume, inputs, etc.) It is by no means as fast as IR, but for me it is acceptable. Probably between 1 1/2 and 2 seconds for CDJ to respond to the X10 request. One of these days I will set it up so I can switch between different radio stations and different music stations available with the DSS system. I needed something to do with all of the extra stuff one gets from ordering from X-10. I haven't received any reverb in my system, but I did have a grounding problem between the PC and my receiver that caused a constant hum in my system. I solved this by putting a Ground Loop Isolator from Radio Shack between the PC and the receiver.

I have the device for my receiver loaded in the devices tab in the CDJ options menu. In my system, the PC sound card goes into the Tape inputs of the receiver. In my event mapping file I have the following entries: cdjr:using_player[cd1] {ampir:cd} cdjr:using_player[mp3] {ampir:tape} This will take care of the auto switching for different players. As far as additional system configuration, I have done the following with my device mapping file. I set up an additional house code on an extra X-10 RF base so I could interface the CM11a into CDJ. I wanted to be able to control my equipment from the garage and back patio area, but I didn't want to run an IR receiver and transmitter. Now, from a PalmPad I can do several things: - select different genres of music (country, soundtrack, rock, etc.) - build and play a random playlist using both CD's and MP3's (and the mapping example above switches the inputs) - Control functions of CD player and CDJ (next, previous, stop, pause, etc.) - Control functions of the amplifier (volume, inputs, etc.) It is by no means as fast as IR, but for me it is acceptable. Probably between 1 1/2 and 2 seconds for CDJ to respond to the X10 request. One of these days I will set it up so I can switch between different radio stations and different music stations available with the DSS system. I needed something to do with all of the extra stuff one gets from ordering from X-10. I haven't received any reverb in my system, but I did have a grounding problem between the PC and my receiver that caused a constant hum in my system. I solved this by putting a Ground Loop Isolator from Radio Shack between the PC and the receiver.

The mixer I'm using is the MX-28 by Rolls, which I bought online from synthony.com for about $80. It has 3 unbalanced stereo inputs, with up to 20 dB of gain (or cut) for each one.

I'm also using a Rolls RA62 headphone amplifier as a line driver to drive amplifiers in various parts of my house. (Didn't want to run high impedance outputs too far--this has 600 ohm outputs.) It has 5 input channels, some of which can be separated from the main mix and used as separate channels. (Although I'd have to say that feature doesn't work as well as I hoped, because there is quite a bit of crosstalk between channels.

And I had no problem using two W95 (and later two W98) machines to do remote access of server based slinke. No NT domain controller was within 10 miles (estimate). I did, however, have WinProxy running on the server machine making it function like a router (those things really suck as routers). I believe the routing function was the essential piece. When I removed WinProxy, it ceased working. That was all on a wireless LAN that I've temporarily abandoned. An older PC now running Linux will be my new proxy/router/firewall/network-interface and I fully expect to ressurect the DCOM / server arrangement without needing NT (which I also have dual bootable alongside W98 on another older machine).

[does CDDB limit lookups to 200 per day] Here's the answer from my soon-to-be-posted unofficial Slinkelist FAQ. Q8: CDDB lookups return "CDDB Server Error. Request limit exceeded on all available servers." What gives? Jay Pfaffman : CDDB limits how many lookups you can do in a 24 hour period to keep people from harvesting their database. They pretty much have the market cornered and they don't want to give that up. Try again tomorrow. If your ISP has a proxy server you might reconfigure CDJ to use it to get another 200 today. Historical note: When CDDB was bought by Escient and started putting restrictions (must put CDDB icon up when doing lookups?) on its use, there was an outcry by some claiming that it was unfair for CDDB to put these restrictions on stuff which they didn't create in the first place. http://www.freedb.org/ is a free CDDB clone. You can point CDJ to freedb.freedb.org to use it. It currently has about 143,000 entries; CDDB has > 500,000 entries. -- Jay Pfaffman pfaffman@relax.com +1-615-343-1720 (office) +1-615-460-9299 (home) http://relax.ltc.vanderbilt.edu/~pfaffman/ Want $5 for free? https://secure.paypal.com/refer/pal=pfaffman%40relax.com From pfaffman@relax.com Sun, 19 Mar 2000 09:56:36 -0600 Date: Sun, 19 Mar 2000 09:56:36 -0600 From: Jay Pfaffman pfaffman@relax.com Subject: [slinkelist] How to hook same audio source to multiple receivers If you're willing to give up independent source selection (running CD in one room, radio in another, video in another) you can just chain the Tape outputs from one receiver to another.

One way that might work is to use one of the newer AV receivers that has separate audio source outputs/ The receivers can send output from one source to the main and secondary speakers and also send output (line I think) to another preamp or receiver. These way they can be daisy chained. With some cleaver automation programing you could have any source in any room. Take a look at the Sony STR-DE935 or STDB930. BTW, I a, thinking of getting a Sony STR-DB930 but have heard some reports of a hiss problem. Any reccomendations from the group for a mid price range AV reciever that can interface with HA well????

You may, however, be able to "split" the audio output to multiple receivers without such a device, and without noticeable degradation. The feasability of this connection method would depend on the number of receivers (there is a limit), the type of receivers (some models "shunt" their inputs when not in use, and therefore aren't compatible), and the type of CD or other audio source (some will not "drive" numerous inputs properly).

Date: Mon, 20 Mar 2000 16:40:23 -0800 Ron, I'd be very suspicious of Quicken. There is a device driver included which has been known to cause problems under earlier builds of W2K. (Yea, I know, 'Quicken includes a device driver?'). It's part of the background downloading stuff, I think it was written by Marimba (it might have been BackWeb). I'd try disabling that driver and see if things improve (and if your like me, drop Intuit a quick note telling them you don't like applications installing system level drivers for such a stupid reason). Good luck, Bill -----Original Message----- From: slinkelist-admin@nirvis.com [mailto:slinkelist-admin@nirvis.com]On Behalf Of Ron Tugender Sent: Monday, March 20, 2000 3:08 PM To: Slinke-List Subject: [slinkelist] Any known CDJ problems with Windows2000 Pro? I've installed the 1/19/00 version of CDJ onto the golden release of Win2000 Professional (2195). I have been tracking down a nasty little glitch that intermittently hangs Win2K in the midst of its shutdown cycle, forcing a system reset. I've gone back to a fresh install of Win2K, introducing 1 application at a time to see when the problem reasserts itself. For a while all I had was Win2000 and Office2000 and no hangs occurred. Then I added CDJ and Quicken 99, and have been running that mix for a while. I just got my first shutdown hang, which followed a "chord" sound from Windows, the common sound generated by a variety of conditions. I'd had CDJ open, quiet (no CD players going) and minimized when I did the shutdown. A few more experiments with CDJ have shown that it appears to be behind the "chord" sound, as I get the sound each time I shut down Win2000 with CDJ still open and not otherwise. However, I have not yet been able to reproduce the shutdown hang, so either it is not CDJ or there is some interaction with other software or environment that together leads to the hang. Although the hang itself seems to be more inconvenient than harmful (system seems to reboot OK afterwards), I can't help but be concerned that something under the covers may be awry. Colby or David, are you aware of any problems running CDJ under Win2000, are you familiar with this pattern, and can you offer any thoughts on whether CDJ might be implicated in this?

CDJ takes such a long time reading each MP3 because it is trying to accurately determine the total playing time of the file. This cannot be done simply by looking at the bitrate and filesize, because some MP3s utilize variable bitrate coding. So CDJ is effectively "playing through" the MP3 at high speed to get the total playing time.

For example, how much setup time exists between DOSTB rising and data being valid on the DIO pins (if the direction is output). Or should I use the negative edge of DOSTB to latch the data on the DIO lines into external devices? Maybe I can use the DIO lines as bidirectional lines instead of dedicating some to inputs and some as outputs. I'm thinking of using DOSTB to control when the external logic is driving the DIO lines. DOSTB high, tri-state external drivers, DOSTB low, OK to drive the DIO pins and pulse DISTB to initiate a message back to the PC. In this case, DOSTB needs to go high BEFORE the SLINK drives the DIO lines. Can I count on this? Or do I need to use another DIO line as an output for the sole purpose of controlling the direction (tri-state vs. driving) of the external logic. In this case I'd first toggle the "ENA" DIO line to turn off the external drivers (to prevent bus contention) then change the direction of the remaining DIO lines to outputs. After writing the data from the SLINK to the external logic, the SLINK could turn the DIO back around to be inputs (and allow the external logic to drive the DIO lines by asserting the "ENA" DIO line) or perhaps the external logic could ask the SLINK to get off the DIO bus by asserting the DISTB (which would initiate a message back to the PC code) . The PC code then turns the direction of the DIO lines to inputs. What's the best way to do this? Has anyone already done this? (Expand SLINK parallel port with external logic).

I use eGroups with a separate Hotmail account that I use for no other purpose. So far, I have not received ANY unwanted or unsolicited mail in the account. I will let you know if I do, because if I do it is definitely from them. Also, eGroups publishes your email address with an _ in place of one of the letters so that the addresses can not be easily harvested. The do put adds at the bottom of each email, but I find it easy to ignore them. Now that I think about it, when I signed up for eGroups there was a check box somewhere that had funny wording about if you wanted "extra" mail. I think the way it was set up you got the mail if you didn't change the setting, and it was not worded in the most straight forward manner. I don't know if you can change this after the fact, because some organizations may already have your email address. I you want to try out this service, please do it with a email account that you create for this purpose. That way if you don't like it, just get ride of the email account.

Keep in mind that you can use the "IR" outputs as a form of low speed serial jsut by setting the carrier to 0Hz and making the timings in the .CDE file. I dont know if it would be possible for the inputs to decode RS232 - but you can use your own timings if you are making a microcontroler.

I'm using a Altera 7064 PLD, not a microcontroller, but I might have enough logic available to capture a serial stream and use it to address regisers for input and output. I don't want to use RS232, since I'd need another interface on the card. I'm planning to just have a 25 pin D-shell that has the signals from the SLINK-E and terminal strips for terminating wiring to Xantech receivers and IR emitters. I could use one of the IRTX signals for the serial data if the one of the DIO lines is asserted. Another DIO line could indicate Tx/Rcv. Hmm, may be the way to go.

Are there any equivalent systems for Linux or other Unixes? The wonderful thing about Unix is that I can run the jukebox software on a sessile PC sitting in an ignored corner, and interface to it from anywhere on the Net over X. This includes anywhere in my condo, since my ThinkPad has a wireless ethernet PC card. Can't do that with Windows. A 100% Java version would also be just the right thing. I just got my CDP-CX300; I'm reading the docs on the Nirvis site & trying to figure out the next steps. While I'm posting, does anyone have any FM tuner card or sound card recommendations to make? The hardware has to be runnable from Linux. A high-quality soundcard that handled super-CD sample sizes & sample rates would be really nice. Thanks for any tips. -Olin From cboles@socrates.berkeley.edu Mon, 27 Mar 2000 16:10:15 -0800 Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2000 16:10:15 -0800 From: Colby Boles cboles@socrates.berkeley.edu Subject: [slinkelist] New CDJ Version I put a new version (3/27) of CDJ on the site. These newer versions of CDJ are like the previous beta version in that they use a newer disc identification system based on a better number called a CDJID instead of the old CDDB ID. This should avoid problems of two discs with slightly differing times being considered the same disc by CDJ. (It does nothing to to improve their identification in CDDB). One side effect of this is that the first time CDJ writes your new library, it will take a considerable amount of time as it needs to modify each record. This version does automatic database compaction to help keep your MDB file small after a large number of writes (100).

The cdp-cx220 was highly recomended on this list before 300 models, because it's basicly the same player as other 200 series (with exception of 270, higher sound quality) but without display & other gimmicks that can be replaced with slinke, and it was cheap. It's you basic slinke "closet" cd-player. On this list there has been some warnings of POSSIBLE problems with 270 and 350 when they are in the same s-linke daisychain (1-2-3) with other players: they are trying to act as masters of s-link, but as I understand they can be solved (I have 350, no problems). sound = same as 250, 240 | baybe same as (255,260) | poorer than 270. components (mechanics)= same as 250, 240, 270 | components (software)= poorer reliability = same as other 200 series. slinke comp. = VERY /components/ reliability/, I suppose all the 200 series are identical (at least models made same time) sound quality = the 270 and maybe the newer 260 has higher sound quality, otherwise they are the same. (prodused from same components in the same factory) basic rule more expensive = more additional features. I am familiar with the two first series of 200 players (200, 250, 270) (260 & something) the newer ones tha have been made after 300 series came out, are stranger to me. IHMO I see no other reason for not buying 220 than the fact that you get 300 with same money, but I you get good deal buy two 220. -michael Tom Luikens wrote: > > > Has anyone on the list had any experience with Sony model CDO-CX220? > > > I presently am using a SONY CDP-CX255 with CDJ and slinke, and could add > the model CX220.

Igal saleh@yahoo.com Subject: [slinkelist] Sony CDP-CX220 I use a bank of 220s and 230s. The D/A conversion is so-so - I normally use an outboard DAC, and there's a pretty clear difference between the internal 220 DAC and the outboard DAC. Other than that, they seem fine. I bought three 230s after the 300s were released. I like the pre-queue ability in CDJ to avoid gaps between songs, and spreading discs across more changers helps to ensure the queuing does its job. If you're going with 200 disc changers, you make want to look at the 230 rather than the 220. I bought my 230s for $199 each, and they're almost identical to the 220s. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Luikens" To: Sent: Tuesday, March 28, 2000 11:42 am Subject: [slinkelist] Sony CDP-CX220 > > Has anyone on the list had any experience with Sony model CDO-CX220? > > > I presently am using a SONY CDP-CX255 with CDJ and slinke, and could add > the model CX220.

I only buy from Magnolia Hi-Fi in Seattle. That way if I have any problems, I get an instant replacement. Bought a Panasonic Palm DVD once, ($1300), it quit on me 3 months later at 7:50 PM. drove over there, got in at 7:59 and 1/2 , walked out with a new unit at 8:05 ( after they had closed.... at 8:00 PM) couldn't be happier.

It cost about $160 and it's the best add on to my home automation system I've ever bought. It's crystal clear and works perfectly. [Getting the irq's worked out for the new serial port was another story.] The only thing that I'm not happy about is that because of the design of the monitor the touchscreen is about 1/2" away from screen so sometimes it's tough to hit a small button. But with a flat screen I don't think you'd have this problem. -Shawn On Thu, 30 March 2000, keith alexander wrote: > > At the request of several I jazzed up the PartyGUI > (David pls change the link if you get a chance) A > much smoother version is available at > www.geocities.com/nurse_alexander.

Com Subject: [slinkelist] New CDJ Version I put a new version (3/27) of CDJ on the site. These newer versions of CDJ are like the previous beta version in that they use a newer disc identification system based on a better number called a CDJID instead of the old CDDB ID. This should avoid problems of two discs with slightly differing times being considered the same disc by CDJ. (It does nothing to to improve their identification in CDDB). One side effect of this is that the first time CDJ writes your new library, it will take a considerable amount of time as it needs to modify each record. This version does automatic database compaction to help keep your MDB file small after a large number of writes (100).

I was working on that when you wrote. I figured it would be helpful. However, I did it over again with the debug on after reading your email. Here is the setup: Sony amp on one bus and cx300 on another. The computer is hooked up to the amp via an a/v input named computer. In the map file, I have it so when the cx300 is used, switch the amp to cd input; when the mp3 is used, switch the amp to computer input. In the same map file I also have it when the cd input is selected, set the sound field to small hall; when the computer input is selected, set the sound field to game. I have 5 tracks in the playlist: Player 1 Disk 8 Track 1 Player 1 Disk 19 Track 5 MP3 file 1 Player 1 Disk 12 Track 3 MP3 File 2 Here is an attachment of the log.txt: This is what it looks like it's doing via CDJ: Play Player 1 Disk 8 Track 1 Going to and loading disk 8 Before it starts playing, play Player 1 Disk 19 Track 5 Going to and loading disk 19 before it starts playing, play MP3 file 1 both MP3 and Disk 19 Track 5 are playing When MP3 finished, play Player 1 Disk 12 Track 3 Going to and loading disk 12 Before it starts playing, play MP3 file 2 both MP3 and Disk 12 are playing Hope this helps.

Where did you buy it? ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Thursday, March 30, 2000 6:09 PM Subject: Re: [slinkelist] Escient > I bought a 15" touchscreen that straps on to a monitor from touchscreens.com. It cost about $160 and it's the best add on to my home automation system I've ever bought. It's crystal clear and works perfectly. [Getting the irq's worked out for the new serial port was another story.] The only thing that I'm not happy about is that because of the design of the monitor the touchscreen is about 1/2" away from screen so sometimes it's tough to hit a small button. But with a flat screen I don't think you'd have this problem. > > -Shawn > > > On Thu, 30 March 2000, keith alexander wrote: > > > > > At the request of several I jazzed up the PartyGUI > > (David pls change the link if you get a chance) A > > much smoother version is available at > > www.geocities.com/nurse_alexander.

If you open / close CDJ, it will want to search all of the changers once when it gets a chance because it can't be certain of anything. If you leave CDJ on all of the time, it will only end up searching after you have opened one of the changers. I'm going to add a "search at this hour" option so that it will only search once every day late at night if you want. It also needs consider door open/closes as "activity" and not try to search right after someone closes the door...
