#Pioneer V2200 LD
I bought a used Pioneer LaserDisc player from a dealer a few weeks ago. It
is a model LD-V2200 that they'd had at the store for several years. They
used to run Commodore's AmigaVision point of sale video off the player
connected to an Amiga 2500. Also the Struggles for Justice series.
The problem is, they lost the manual! So, I'm having a devil of a time
trying to get it set up properly to run with my system. The player seems
to be in good working order. It really works great with my V-Lab
framegrabber.
But I can't seem to get either Scala MM200 or AmigaVision 1.53G to
communicate with the player. Scala has a Pioneer driver, though this
particular model number isn't listed, I'm still hoping it might be coaxed
into working. AmigaVision definitely has the driver for this model LD
player. I followed the instructions in my AmigaVision and Scala manuals
installing the software drivers. Everything seemed to install okay.
But there are two dip swiches on the back of the LD player and I don't
know what the settings should be. I've tried experimenting with my serial
port settings under preferences, with no luck. My modem works fine, so I
doubt there is any problem with the serial port on my Amiga. The serial
cable that came with the LD player looks okay too. I really think I just
need to find out the correct settings.
Does anyone know how to set the dip switches to get this beast to work?
Better yet, anyone know how I can get my hands on a manual?
My system is an Amiga 2000, CBM 2620 accelerator with 4megs, GVP Hardcard
with 4 megs 16 bit ram and Quantum 240 meg HD, running WorkBench 2.1. I
have a two monitor set up.
Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!
