Changes

* The two Remote Control pins are connected to a relais relay inside of the CPC, the relais relay becomes closed when the /Motor On bit in PIO Port C is set to zero, ie. the cassette recorder may use the relais relay to switch its power suppy supply on and off when Play and/or Record is pressed - this is of course supposed for low-voltages only. You have to connect both pins to the remote connector of the cassette recorder.

* Caution: The connector looks same as on CPC, but the Pin-Outs are entirely different, and, Motor On is a TTL output (instead of a RelaisRelay) == Aleste Tape/Sound Connector (female) ==[[Aleste 520EX]] uses a 5pin female DIN connector 1 Tape In __ __ 2 GND / - \ 3 Sound Mono-Left | | 4 Tape Out |3 1| 5 Sould Mono-Right \5_2_4/ Shield GND* The Left/Right pins are actually shortcut with each other on the Aleste mainboard, so sound is mono. * There is no Tape Motor Control (the corresponding PIO bit is mis-used as Printer Strobe in the Aleste).* According to the Russian User Manual the two Tape pins are NC. They do exist in the schematics though. == External Cassette Ports == * [[Draysoft Doubler]] (external tape input, for tape-to-tape transfers) == Connector on Cassette recorder ==  1 (Left) Input __ __ 2 Ground / - \ 3 (Left) Output | | 4 (Right) Input |3 1| 5 (Right) Output \5_2_4/ On mono cassette recorders, pin 4 and 5 can be missing.  == Adapter cable ==  Computer Recorder +---- 1 Input (l) Output 5 ---------------------+---- 4 (Input r) Ground 2 -------------------------- 2 Ground Input 4 ---------------------+---- 5 (Output r) Remote 1 --------------- +---- 3 Output (l) Remote 3 -------------- \ \ \ \ \--------- 1 Remote-jack \---------- 2 Remote-jack  [[Category:Peripherals]][[Category:CPC Internal Components]][[Category:DATA Storage]] == See Also == * [[Read error codes]]
