hi all, i'm new to this (one week with slinke, S350+300, CDJ on pentium
laptop). i got everything up and running with few difficulties.
but, last night, for reasons i can't fathom, i shut the system down and
found upon booting this a.m. that the master library 'lost' all disc slot
numbers! i needed to do a complete search on 'empty' slots in order to
recreate it.
has this happened before ( i have not searched the FAQ etc. because nirvis
server has been down since yesterday)? and, in any event, any ideas re what
might cause this strange behavior?
ps- there is now one disc which has artist/title/track info but no slot
number - as though is was 'removed'- don't know where it is but it hasn't
been removed. oh, also, last night i noticed that i couldn't get my
playlist entries to 'explode' (they do this a.m.) within the playlist. so
i did do a fair amount of playing around in order to dynamically change, in
real time, the track playing order.
this is a great facility. i hope this behavior was an anomoly, thanks, tom..

Let's see if I can recount my understanding of the situation. If I
get something twisted, I'm sure someone will jump in to set things
straight.
There are two control protocols that Sony has referred to under the
'S-link' banner.
One is called Control-A1, which is a bidirectional protocol that
allows the device to be queried about its state, confirmations to be
issued when a command is executed, state changes in the device to be
sent as they occur, etc. All good stuff, and the sort of control that
makes CDJ possible.
The second is called Control-S, and is an older, unidirectional
protocol (you may also hear the older term 'SIRCS', which is very
similar). This is very similar to the protocol that a Sony remote
control uses to control a device. It only allows commands to be sent,
there's no means to check the state of the device, or even get
confirmation that the command was received and executed correctly.
This is known as an 'open-loop' control protocol, since there's no
feedback to ensure the right thing happened.
To make things a little more complex, Control-A1 can transport
Control-S commands, i.e. it is a superset, in a sense. But there's
still no feedback from Control-S commands, even when sent via
Control-A1. Confused yet?
As to Sony TVs, my experience has been that they only provide a
Control-S output. That means it will only send out commands that it
receives from Sony remotes out on the Control-S connection. It's
possible that my information is dated, since I haven't had chance to
look at the latest model range, but to my knowledge, their sets do
not support being controlled via Control-A1 (a real shame). A
spot-check on their web site wasn't very conclusive; their 65" HD set
had a Control-S input and output, but the other products just said
'Control-S Interface: yes', which doesn't say if it's an input,
output or both.
My advice is to check the back of the set(s) you're considering, and
look for either a Control-S input, or Control-A1 connection (though I
think the latter is very unlikely - let me know if you do find one!).
If the set has either, Slink-E can control it directly via a wired
connection. Otherwise, you'd have to use a stick-on IR emitter from
Xantech with the Slink-E.
Another issue to be wary of in selecting your TV is whether there are
separate IR codes for turning the set on, off, and select an input
directly.
All sets have a a power 'toggle' command - send it once to turn the
set on, again to turn it off. If the set has discrete 'on' and 'off'
codes, you can use them in macros to ensure that the set is on,
without the danger of switching it off. Similarly, if you want to
create a macro to select input 2 on your set (to play a DVD, for
example) it's much easier if the set has a code to select that input
directly. Not all manufacturers have IR codes to select an input
directly - some have just an input button, that cycles through the
inputs.
Just to make life interesting, just because there are no buttons on
the remote to select a given input, it doesn't mean the set isn't
able to do it. Almost all manufacturers implement the same set of IR
codes for all the sets (of a given model year at least, barring
features the set doesn't have, like dual-tuner PIP). So all the Sony
sets will respond to the direct input selection codes, even though
they may have saved a few cents on the remote by omitting the actual
buttons to send them. It's worth asking the sales person in the store
to let you try a remote from the top-of-the-line model on the set
you're looking at.
For more collective wisdom, and advice on which manufacturers sets
are easiest to control, I'd suggest looking at the
http://www.remotecentral.com/ (Pronto forum) and
http://www.prontoedit.com/ sites. Ask for advice in the Pronto forums
there. Pronto owners are a friendly crowd, and will be able to offer
good advice.

Hi,
When using DCOM, would I likely get reasonable results when networking a
low-end pc running nt connected to the slinke over the serial port and a
fast pc running win95/win98/winnt to run CDJ?
My current setup is a pc running cdj and it's directly connect to the
slinke. I haven't used DCOM before and I'm trying to determine if it will
do what I expect based on my limited understanding.
Thanks,
Tom

Tom,
I guess they are familiar, I have sent and seen several messages sent
regarding this and other problems. Sometimes Colby answers them and
sometimes not. I have tried sending directly to nirvis and Colby responded
through the list. I am not sure if you should send to them direct or via
this list. I haven't seen him respond directly to this problem.
Were you able to verify that the empty slot thing was in the player?

yes, john, it was in the player. ps- not being familiar with the protocol
of the list vs the bbs, i asked david. his answer was that they accomplish
the same thing but some prefer one vs the other. and that colby reads both.
and that we should feel free to posting list material of interest to others.
so i went back to the bbs to see where this issue was left and it was left
unresolved.
i need more experience with my setup before i push this further but i can
well imagine how frustrating this will be if it is a not too infrequent
occurance. and i personally would place the priority of a 'fix' way ahead
of things such as CDJ talking, a better GUI, etc.

Colby,
I have only seen the entire data base go gray when slink-e was up but the
player wasn't on, an understandable condition. But the losing one at a time
inexplicably happens frequently. Do you have any suggestions, is it a
known problem. Is there any possibility of sending a command from slink-e
to the player to cause it to reload the occupied slots in its memory?
Also I get unexplained times when the player quits and it seem like it is in
the pause mode.
Also times when it seem to get out of sink and slinke goes from slot to slot
on the play list and nothing plays.

I haven't had any problems with the library being "wiped out" but I always
keep a backup of map .mdb, .map, and device files. That way it case something
happens, I can go to the most recent backup and start from there.

Tom,
I feel two things could be improved here. I think that they should drop the
messaging on the BBS. If the list is used every one sees the message. You
don't have to go to the BBS and see if someone has written something of
interest to you. I check my e-mail a couple of times a day and this way I
wouldn't miss anything.
Second the reply to: should go to the list not the sender. Who knows how
many people have benefited by our discussions of gray outs. If we just
talked to each other no information gets passed back and forth.

fyi, you can "sign up" to the BBS and receive notifications about new
messages just like the list server. you just need to check a box at the
bottom of the page when you submit a post. the BBS is good because it has a
nice archive format. the list is nice because it can be done just using
e-mail. we have talked about merging the two, but decided there are more
important things we should be working on.

I agree with John regarding the Reply To address. The questions are
interesting, but seeing people's responses would be even more so. :>
I also look at email all throughout the day, so I'd like to see all messages

it).
On a different subject, has anyone built or found a device list for Sony's

Hi Colby,
It would be nice if in CDJ there was an additional field 13 Characters long
that could be used to send data to the player. Initially load this field
with the title of the song then let the user edit the 13 characters to be
sent to the player. Sometimes it is difficult to get the gist of a song
title as they have to many extraneous words. With appropriate abbreviations

The field already exists. It's in the Details tab named Disc Memo.
However, it doesn't seem to be used by CDJ when uploading text to the
player. The title is used when uploading text to the player.

Use the shift key and the mouse. Highlight a CD from the library. Highlight

My question is about how to download the covers from CDNow, using the tool that

It seems that you need to have your files name with the extension ".lib"
I made my database using the extension ".mdb"
Is there a way that I still can use that program for downloading those covers,
or did anyone else has find another elegant way of adding (500) covers to the
database?

I finally had a chance to update to the latest version of CDJ, and it's a
spectacular improvement over earlier versions, but there are a couple of
things I was unable to find.
The main feature I can't find (if it exists) is to have the library listed
by track instead of by disk. (Essentially having all disks "exploded" in
the library with the same ability to sort/etc that the current setup has)
Secondly, once I have this list, I'd like to print it to an ASCII file.
Lastly, I'm seeing my CD player constantly switching between "Play 1 Disk" and
"Play all disks" when CDJ is controlling it. It's the Sony 200 disc model.

Subject: [slinkelist] Control A1 II on 200-disc DVD DVP-CX850D
I've got one of these new 200-disc DVDs on order from www.camerworld.com
for $599, and I'm hoping to add support for it in CDJ. Crutchfield says the
unit has Control-S, but that it also functions as a master controller for
another 200/300 disc CD changer, which says to me that is has a Control-A1
II port. Unfortunately, I'm getting the impression from others who have the
similar 5-disc DVP-C650D that the Control-A1 II port controls a changer as
advertised, but doesn't support any control over the DVD changer. That is,
the DVD changer can send a receive commands to a slave changer, but can't
be commanded itself. This would indeed be dissapointing. Does anyone have
further information one way or another?

Colby,
I bet it's just like my DVP-C600D DVD changer which has the megacontrol for
Sony's CD changers, but doesn't respond to any Control-A1 signals. All the
documentation I've seen for the DVD changer says Control-S. The new
CDP-CX350 300-Disc MegaStorage CD Changer does have Control-A1 II. I don't
know why Sony would take a step backwards with the newer DVD player, except
it seems all their DVD players only have Control-S.

I think that Sony don't realize that there is a need for other components to
control a video source. Since most people do a lot of taping on cassettes
or MD's, and now CD-R's, they put in the system to control an audio source.
Hopefully they'll wise up and include Control-A1 II in video sources soon.
George
P.S. Colby, thanks for bring up the new DVD player. I'm also planning on
getting the unit which will hit stores mid October. And I was going to ask
if you were planning on building something similar to CDJ to handle DVD's.
I see that I don't need to ask you that now. You also mentioned a source
that is $200 less than most other sources. Thanks for that. You might want
to ask for compensation from them for advertising it here. 8)

Subject: [slinkelist] Track title upload?
Hi Colby.
I recently purchased a Slink-e to go with the Sony
CDP-CX300 player. Setup was simple and with all the
CD's loaded into CDJ, I uploaded the information into
the unit. All the CD titles loaded fine, but the
tracks on all the discs remain numbered only. I tried
this twice with no success. Is there a way to upload
all the track titles?
What threw me off was that one of the CDs was a "CD
TEXT" disc, which has the information already on the
disc. Too bad all of them aren't like this because I
really do like the scrolling titles/tracks. This
doesn't limit everything to 13 characters, but I would
really be happy with that if I can upload tracks into
the unit.
Thanks for any help.
Paul

Don't get me wrong, CDJ is great, but I need to build something more track

To get this done, per a previous e-mail, I could really use an in-process

Are we likely to see it?

I spent about two hrs modifying the CD-Saver
application to not be a screen saver, and to support
popup menus from my remote to select and start a new
play list. I'd be happy to share. But really, this
is an easy task (CDJ is running minimized, but not a
bad solution). I have also implemented a voice
control interface to Slinke that works quite nicely
(see writeup on the BBS) It would be an easy matter to
extend the interface to allow selection of individual
tracks, but half the fun of this box is customizing it
to your environment and liking..

Is your database file missing, or is it somehow corrupted? As long as you
didn't name you database sample.mdb (the name of the demo database), it
shouldn't be overwritten.

You are of course absolutely right Michael, I had the same thing happen
to me some time ago, and after changing the name to something other than
sample.mdb everything worked perfectly.

I
installed the latest release 091099 and the database is gone. I have a
backup but a lot of work will be lost if I have to use it. Any ideas ?
