FEATURES

FLEXIBLE UNIT DESIGN

EASE OF INSTALLATION

The Pioneer DRM-7000/DRM-3000-disc changer is designed

so that a variety of different components may be purchased

and installed together to meet a variety of different needs.

The Pioneer DRM-7000/DRM-3000 comes with bays (i.e.,

spaces for the installation of drives or 50-disc magazines)

located at the front and rear of the unit, and the bays are

fitted with access doors that are designed to open widely

and enable you to install or remove individual components

with ease.

In order to connect the changer to an existing data

management system or to build a new data management

system, it is necessary for the host computer to be able to

properly identify the changer and all the drives contained

therein and it is necessary to attach all the cables and specify

the settings needed for the host computer to control the

changer and drives.

The Pioneer DRM-7000/DRM-3000 is designed not only to

make it easy to install and add new drives, but also with a

wide range of features designed to make it easier to specify

host computer settings.

The front bay is for exclusive use with 50-disc magazines;

the rear bay has been designed as a multi-purpose installation

area:

SECURITY FEATURES DESIGNED TO

PREVENT ERRONEOUS OR

UNAUTHORIZED OPERATIONS

In order to prevent interference, conflicts, or clashes occurring

between manual operations and computer-based operations,

entering procedure to the system administrator mode is

introduced. Anyone who wants to perform operations from

the control panel is required to enter system administrator

mode first, using the provided lock release key. And it is

possible to prevent the switchover to some sub-modes by

issuing a command from the host computer.

It is also possible to assign security privileges on the system

administrator who has the lock release key. Then operations

directly manipulating discs, like opening mailslot and ejecting

hyper magazine, are permitted to only the system

administrator.

CONTROL PANEL FITTED WITH AN LCD

MESSAGE WINDOW FOR EASE OF USE

If desired, you can start with empty bay spaces and add

devices to them as your requirements increase.

The control panel is fitted with a 2-line, 16-column LCD

message window which is used to display instructions on

the proper operations to perform. And this makes it possible

to perform any of the wide variety of different operations

provided by the DRM-7000/DRM-3000 with only 5 keys.

THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF DISC

MAGAZINES EQUIPPED WITH INTERNAL

MEMORY

Pioneer provides three different types of disc magazines

designed for convenience and ease of use in different

applications.

20-disc hyper magazine:

The main feature of the hyper magazine is its mobility. It

can be inserted and removed without opening the access

door. Another feature is a smart memory system that

records all user operations toward its lock/unlock

mechanism. One hyper magazine is provided as a standard

equipment with each Pioneer DRM-7000/DRM-3000.

50-disc magazine (locked-type):

This model is perfect for managing offline media where

the security and unchangeableness may be required. Built-

in locking mechanism makes it impossible to remove discs

from magazine whenever it is outside the changer.

50-disc magazine (normal-type):

This model is convenient for importing or exporting large

volumes of discs into or from the changer. You can insert

discs into or remove them from a magazine releasing the

locking mechanism by a knob fitted with this magazine

when it is outside the changer.

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

INSTALLATION

FOR SAFETY

Select an installation site with a flat, solid surface.

Do not install the system where it will suffer any of the

following:

÷ Do not install the unit on any unsteady platform or desk,

etc., as the unit is tall and heavy.

÷ Do not stack the units or do not place a heavy object on

the unit. It is extremely dangerous to do this, because the

objects may fall off or the unit may topple over. (Any

damage or injury suffered as a result of such installation is

the sole responsibility of the user. )

1 Exposure to direct sunlight or a heater

2 High humidity or dust

3 Proximity to bathroom or kitchen

4 Exposure to spotlight

5 Proximity to any large electric apparatus such as a

refrigerator, air conditioner, dimmer, etc.

6 Uneven or unsteady installation surface.

(If the surface is not flat, first put down a hard plate or

similar support so that the system is installed level.)

7 Difficulty of service and maintenance.

÷ Attach the placement fixtures first after unpacking the

changer. If it is moved before they are attached, there

is a danger of it toppling over or of the cables on the

rear being damaged.

÷ Always be sure not to insert your hand into the 20-

disc hyper magazine bay or not to touch any parts

inside of the bay when the power has been turned on,

otherwise it may result in bodily injury.

If the changer is to be installed next to a wall, a minimum of

at least 50 cm of space must be provided between the back

of the changer and the wall.

÷ The Changer can accommodate only the discs with a

diameter of 12cm (5in). As the Changer detects the

presence of disc with optical detection of the position at

about 5mm (3/16in) inside the external periphery of the

12cm (5in) disc, the use of a disc which is transparent at

the corresponding position or a 8cm (3in) disc may lead to

disc detection error and to the disc damage in the worst

case. Also, the use of a 8cm disc adapter is strictly

prohibited.

÷ For safety reasons, the DRM-7000/DRM-3000 is designed

so that the access doors cannot be opened while the

changer mechanism or internal drives are in operation.

÷ The high speed rotation of discs or the operation of the

high speed disc transport mechanism in the DRM-7000/

DRM-3000 causes slight vibrations and noise, but this does

not indicate a problem. And it does not effect the

performance of the changer.

Avoid placing objects directly on the changer.

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

÷ Be careful not to stain, scratch or leave fingerprint, etc.,

on the signal surface, or recording surface of the discs.

The specified playback performance or recording

performance may not be obtained with such discs.

÷ Do not insert more than one disc in a mailslot, otherwise

malfunction will result.

÷ The Changer does not manage the disc contents. The data

should be managed by involving the host.

÷ Use only recording discs recommended by Pioneer. The

specified recording performance or playback performance

may not be obtained if a non-recommended disc is used.

Please note that the data recorded on discs is not covered

by our warranty.

CONDENSATION

÷ Pioneer may not be held liable for the loss of any data or

any other direct or indirect damage suffered as the result

of the use or breakdown of this product. It is strongly

recommended that regular backups be taken of all critical

data.

÷ Please be careful not to lose the lock release keys provided

with your DRM-7000/DRM-3000, otherwise you could not

manage your changer any more. The lock release key

certifies you as a system administrator and gives you a

privilege to open access doors, to eject a hyper magazine

and to use a mailslot.

If the temperature difference between the changer and

environment is too large, water will condense in the changer

and the system may not provide proper performance. For

example, if you bring the changer into a warm room from

outside in cold weather, or if you increase room temperature

abruptly, condensation may result. If condensation occurs,

leave the changer for one hour in the room, or increase room

temperature gradually before using it.

CLEANING THE CHANGER

To clean the panel and the cover, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe

off dust and dirt. If the cabinet is heavily soiled, wipe off the

dirt using a soft cloth soaked with neutral detergent diluted 5

to 6 times. Then wipe the water off with a dry cloth. Do not

use benzine, thinner, insecticide or similar volatile chemicals,

as they may dissolve or discolor the cabinet surface. If you

use a chemical polishing cloth, carefully read the instructions

supplied with it.

POWER-CORD CAUTION

Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug

by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord when

your hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or an

electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture,

etc., on the power cord, or pinch the cord. Never make a

knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords

should be routed such that they are not likely to be stepped

on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an

electrical shock. Check the power cord once in a while. When

you find it damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized

service center or your dealer for a replacement.

READ BEFORE USE

All of the discs within an inserted magazine become

available immediately no matter which magazine bay it is

inserted into as long as the discs installed in the magazine

have been registered in the database as corresponding to

the magazine ID in question, and the same holds true when

a magazine is inserted into a different changer as long as

the changer in which it is inserted is under the control of

the same database.

SECURITY FEATURES

Information on the location of discs within the changer and

information to access data on discs are strictly monitored

and controlled from the changer control software and the

upper-level database management software.

Because of this, if any changes in the status of the discs

within the changer occur at a time when the changer is not

under the control of the host computer (or in a network

environment, under the control of a server), it becomes

impossible to control the changer and drives and to read

necessary files from discs.

Allowing discs stored within the changer to be removed

without any restrictions poses a security risk, not only in that

it would become impossible to access discs which have been

removed but also in that it might lead to the damage or loss

of discs.

¶ Disc magazines designed for easy tracking and control

Removing, inserting or replacing discs in magazines after

they have been removed from a changer may destroy the

correspondence between discs and magazine IDs.

To solve this problem, Pioneer provides 50-disc magazine

which has a locking mechanism to prevent all attempt to

change the status of the magazine outside the changer

and hyper magazine which has a smart memory system

that records all user operations toward its lock/unlock

mechanism so as to make it easier to track and control

the use of offline media.

Although the DRM-7000/DRM-3000 has been designed so

as to open the front and rear access doors from the control

panel (located at the top of the front of the unit) to remove

magazines or to insert or remove discs through the mailslots,

anyone who considers the security issues noted above will

be able to understood that it is necessary to place restrictions

on such operations.

¶ Registration of changer ID

When a disc magazine has been inserted into a changer

not under the control of the database management

software or into a changer belonging to another system,

the discs within that magazine may be rewritten or may

be replaced with other discs within that changer. Even if

the magazine in question is a locked-type, these

discrepancies between the discs actually contained within

the magazine and the information on those discs stored in

the database may be arise.

In order to prevent such problems from occurring, disc

magazines are designed to record the ID of the changer in

which they are used, and as long as the database has a

list of the IDs of changers controlled under the given

database, it is possible for the database management

software to determine whether or not a inserted disc

magazine has to be reinstalled by checking the changer

ID that may be read with the magazine ID.

This is why the control panel of the DRM-7000/DRM-3000

has been fitted with a key switch which may be locked to

disable operations of control keys. This switch cannot be

unlocked without the key provided with the DRM-7000/DRM-

3000, and if the system administrator will always keep this

key, it is impossible that ordinary users without key perform

unauthorized operations from the control panel.

It is also possible to restrict the range of operations which

are performed from the control panel. It means that a part of

system administrator’s privileges is controlled by the

command issued from the host computer and even if a

system administrator has the key, the host computer makes

it impossible to open the access doors, exchange discs, or

perform other unfavorable operations for itself.

However although the DRM-7000/DRM-3000 changer and

disc magazines do provide the features needed for the

management of offline media, it should be noted that the

actual procedures and methods available for the management

of offline media may differ depending on the database

management software and changer control software being

used.

OFFLINE MEDIA MANAGEMENT

The DRM-7000/DRM-3000 provides the following features

which makes it perfect for the management of offline media.

It should further be noted that it is necessary to establish

how to employ controls for the handling of offline media. In

fact if management controls are strict enough, it is even

possible to use normal-type disc magazines which would

ordinarily be unsuited for use in the management of offline

media, in the same way as one would use locked-type disc

magazines.

¶ Removable disc magazines

Disc magazines may be removed from the changer with

the discs left in the magazines. The use efficiency of the

space within the changer may much improve if the

infrequently used discs are collected in one magazine and

it is taken out from the changer into the offline storage.

¶ Unique disc magazine IDs

All disc magazines used in the DRM-7000/DRM-3000 are

assigned unique ID codes which makes it possible to

identify individual magazines simply by inserting them into

the magazine bays.

Read before use

By adding an optional expansion power unit to the DRM-

7000, power can be supplied to rear bays #9 – 16.

The maximum power consumption of these upper bays

and the maximum amount of power which may be supplied

over a single connector is the same as that of the lower

bays (i.e., Bay #1 – Bay #8).

DECIDING ON SYSTEM

CONFIGURATION

Before installing or using the changer, the first thing which

has to be done is to decide what components you should

install to where of the changer.

NOTE:

The connector panel and SCSI cables which come with the

DRM-7000/DRM-3000 are prepared on the assumption of the

following system configuration:

¶ Be sure never to use any add-on products other than

Pioneer products.

¶ When turning off the power and turning it back on,

always be sure to allow an interval of 10 seconds or

more to elapse after turning off the power before turning

it back on. Note that this must be done because there

are times when the power is not switched off

immediately even after the power switched has been

flipped off when few drives have been installed in the

changer.

7 Two drives

7 Both drives will be connected internally with multi drive

connector panel and the provided changer/drive SCSI cable

is used to connect the drive SCSI ports to the changer

SCSI ports

(Note that it is also necessary to purchase another SCSI cable

to connect the changer to the host computer when the DRM-

7000/DRM-3000 is to be used in the above configuration.)

If you wish to install three or more drives or to use more than

one SCSI bus to increase data transfer speeds, it will be

necessary to purchase additional connector panels and SCSI

cables.

To determine what additional equipment must be purchased

in order to create a desired configuration, it is recommended

that you first decide where drives are to be installed and

consult the configuration sheet on p. 225 (DRM-7000) or p.

226 (DRM-3000) before actually trying to configure your

system.

ADD-ON PRODUCTS

The following components may be purchased separately for

use with the Pioneer DRM-7000/DRM-3000 in order to adapt

it for use in configuring a system to your own specifications.

The maximum number of optional components that can be

installed differs depending on the component involved; for

details, consult the operating instructions for your option

components.

Before actually beginning to configure your changer system,

it is absolutely necessary that the following items be

determined:

¶ The types and numbers of drives to be installed and where

they are to be installed. (An additional power unit is

necessary when installing 9 or more drives on the DRM-

7000).

¶ The positions where connector panels are to be attached.

(Note that the DRM-7000/DRM-3000 comes equipped with

a multi drive connector panel and if you need single drive

connector panels you must purchase them.)

50-disc magazine

Used to store discs within the changer, these magazines

come in both normal and locked types which can be installed

in whatever combination best fits your needs.

¶ 50-disc magazine (locked-type)

[DRM-AL751]

¶ The SCSI IDs to be assigned to each of the drives to be

installed. (Note that it is impossible to assign the same

SCSI ID to two or more drives on the same SCSI bus.)

¶ The connecting plan of the cables running between

individual drives and connector panels.

¶ Which drives are to be terminated (i.e., the drive’s

termination switch of the terminal drive in each SCSI chain

is to be turned on).

An example of how SCSI cables should be connected is

shown on p. 19.

The power unit provided as standard equipment is capable

of supplying power to rear bays #1 – 8. The total power

consumed by these eight drives should not exceed the

following:

DC +5 V 12 A or less

DC +12 V 8 A or less

The maximum current capacity of a single connector is as

follows:

These disc magazines are designed so that the lock is not

released even when a magazine is removed from a

changer. Therefore the mailslot is necessary to insert discs

into these magazines or remove discs from them. These

magazines are extremely effective for use in situations

where they are used in combination with a host computer

which supports offline media management. (See p. 7 for

further details.)

TO AVOID PROBLEMS

The following is a list of operation items that may potentially lead to problems in component functioning.

Issue

Potential Malfunction/Error

1. Installation

Do not place foreign objects inside the changer, since malfunction

may result.

[E83], [E99], [E88]

Do not use the changer in locations subject to high concentrations

of dust, heat, or humidity.

Recording/playback mal-

function

* Do not install in locations directly exposed to outdoor dust or air.

* Do not install near air conditioner vents or air cleaners.

Do not subject the recorder to impact or vibration during use.

* Do not install in hallways or other areas near frequent pedestrian

traffic.

Recording/playback mal-

function

2. Connections

When connecting exterior SCSI cable, be sure that power is first

turned off to host computer and changer.

Changer malfunction

* When connecting internal SCSI cable, power may be left while

connecting.

When installing a drive, be sure to connect the changer interface

cable to the connector corresponding to the bay in which the drive

is installed. If the cable is mistakenly connected to a neighboring

connector, the discs may be damaged and the E99 error may occur.

[E83], [E99]

Be sure to set the terminator switch to ON on the final component

connected to the SCSI bus. If it is mistakenly set to OFF, the changer

operation may be unstable. If malfunctions occur with the switch

set to OFF, set the switch to ON and turn the power on again.

* When a component's terminator switch is set to ON, if the com-

ponent is subsequently removed from the SCSI bus, or if the

component's SCSI cable is disconnected, the condition immedi

ately reverts to the same state as when the terminator is OFF,

thus resulting in the same condition as above.

Display window (LCD)

doesn't appear correctly.

Operation keys malfunc-

tion.

Changer not recognized

on the SCSI.

When installing a drive, if the wiring monitor indicator does not flash,

recheck and install the power cable connection, followed by the

changer interface connection.

drive.

3. Power ON/OFF

Never disconnect power while the changer is transporting a disc, or

when the writer is recording data to a disc.

Changer malfunction.

Data recording malfunc-

tion

When turning the power off and then on again, wait at least ten

seconds after turning the power off before turning it on again.

4. Control

During data recording, do not send commands from the disc writer

to remove disc (Move Medium, Rezero Unit), since EC❋ error or

write malfunction may occur (back buffer underrun).

Recording malfunction

7. Discs

Blank discs, discs which have experienced failed recording opera-

tions, and discs whose recording sessions have not been closed,

cannot be used on the reader drive.

Reader drive malfunction

[Set Up NG] error

* Use the writer drive to determine whether a disc is blank.

Do not affix paper labels or seals to discs. Also, do not allow the

printed surface of discs to become scratched.

* If a paper label is removed incorrectly, it may leave behind pieces

of adhesive that cause player malfunction; as a result, when re

moving an adhesive label, be sure to remove it carefully and fully,

taking care not to leave an scratches on the surface of the disc.

Recording/playback mal-

function

[E83], [E99]

Scratches, fingerprints, or dirt adhering to the surface of a disc may

interfere with recording or playback. When handling discs, take care

not to touch the signal surface (the reflective recording surface).

Hold discs either by the outside edges, or by placing a finger in the

center hole.

Recording/playback mal-

function

If a disc is soiled, wipe gently with a soft cloth in a radial direction,

straight from the center outwards. Do not wipe in a circular pattern.

* Use only the Pioneer Cleaning Cloth (Service Parts GED-009) for

wiping discs.

Recording/playback mal-

function

To produce stable recording and playback, use only recommended

discs. For recommended discs, consult your dealer or Pioneer's

website.

Recording/playback mal-

function

This component does not support DVD-R for Authoring media.

Cannot record

8. Disc Magazines

When inserting discs in magazines, be sure they are inserted flat

into the same slot; discs may be damaged if inserted diagonally (with

left and right edges in differing slots).

[E83], [E99]

Do not allow the open end of magazines to point downward, since

discs may fall out.

[E83]

Insert magazines slowly into the changer, since discs may fly fall out

if the magazine is inserted with excessive force.

[E83]

* When inserting a magazine, if the electronic buzzer sounds or

error [E83 disc set NG] appears in the display, remove the maga-

zine, press any dislodged discs back into the magazine, and slowly

insert the magazine once again.

9. Disc Reversal Unit

When the Pioneer Disc Flip Module DRM-UF701 is used in conjunc-

tion with the changer DRM-7000, the changer must be equipped

with firmware Rev. 1.12 or later. Since malfunctions or disc damage

may occur when used with firmware revisions earlier than 1.12, be

sure to update your firmware before use to version 1.12 or later. For

details regarding updating of firmware, consult your Pioneer service

center, or retail dealer.

INSTALLATION

3. Lock the casters

STEP 1

Four casters at the bottom of DRM-7000/DRM-3000 allow it

to be moved lightly but they must be locked soon if you place

the changer on the chosen location. A caster is locked by

lowering its lever.

1. Attach the base stabilizers.

To prevent the unit from falling over, be sure to attach the

accessory base stabilizers. The DRM-7000 is provided with

four stabilizers (one at each corner), and the DRM3000 is

provided with two (rear corners only).

Lock

Base stabilizer

4. Connect power cord

Insert the power cord into the power inlet on the rear of the

changer and then insert the plug into a wall power outlet.

NOTES:

¶ Be sure to attach the base stabilizers before doing anything

else.

¶ Note that the base stabilizers also serve to protect the

ports and cables on the rear of the unit.

¶ Note that any damage incurred as a result of the unit falling

over or any damage caused to the rear ports or cables as

a result of a failure to install the base stabilizers will not be

covered under warranty.

¶ In the case of the DRM-3000, be sure to attach the

stabilizers only to the rear corners of the unit.

2. Deciding on the location where the changer is

to be installed

The changer is designed with a rear access door which can

be opened in inserting or removing drives or disc magazines,

and the location where the changer is to be installed should

be chosen so as to allow a minimum of 50cm of space

between the rear of the changer and the nearest wall so as

to leave enough room to open the rear access door and insert

or remove drives or disc magazines.

NOTE:

Always be sure to use only the power cord supplied with

your changer.

Also be sure to follow the instructions on the label on the

package and use only that cord designed for use in the

location in which the power cord is to be used.

Installation

3. Installing drive units

STEP 2

No tools are required for attaching drive units. Note that while

drives may be installed in any of the rear bays from #1 – #8,

the location of the connector panel that has been attached at

the time of shipment had been designed for drives to be

installed in bays #1 and #2.

Readying the changer for operation

In order to ready the changer for operation, perform the

following steps in the order indicated.

1. Turning on the power (see p. 17)

2. Loosening the shipping screws (see p. 17)

3. Installing drive units (see p. 17)

1. Attaching add-on connector panels, if necessary

4. Connecting SCSI cables (see p. 18)

5. Inserting disc magazines (see p. 20)

6. Closing access doors (see p. 23)

Screwdriver

1. Turning on the power

When the power is first turned on, both the front and rear

access doors will automatically open. This is not a faulty

operation but the function of the shipping screws tightened

at the time of shipping or re-transporting.

NOTES:

¶ Be sure not to close neither the front nor rear access door

until all drives and disc magazines have been installed.

¶ If the door does not open when the power is turned on,

wait until the initialization routine has completed and the

LCD shows the user mode display (p. 23), then refer to p.

37 ("System Administrator Mode: Door Sub-mode") for

instructions on opening the door.

2. Attaching drive units

Before installation, be sure to specify the following settings

at the rear of each drive to be installed. (See the operating

instructions provided with drive for details.)

¶ SCSI ID assignment

2. Loosening the shipping screws

When the front access door is opened, shipping screws may

be seen at near the bottom inside the changer. These screws

are attached to prevent damage to the built-in mechanism of

the changer during transporting.

Shipping screws are designed so that they can only be

loosened and cannot be removed so as to prevent their

NOTES:

¶ Be sure to tighten again the shipping screws before re-

transporting the changer.

¶ If you or someone close the front or the rear access door

with the shipping screws loosened, the closed door can

not open automatically like before. And when the both

doors are closed, the changer starts its mechanical

initialization. So if you have not finished the installation

yet, it is necessary to open the access doors again to

continue with installation. (See System administrator

mode: Door submodes on p. 37 for further information.)

Installation

2 Connect the power cable.

NOTES:

¶ When the power cable has been connected, the wiring

monitor indicator on the rear of the drive (orange) will

light up.

¶ When the termination switch of the drive is set to on,

the termination indicator (green) will light up.

¶ If installed drives are to be connected to different SCSI

buses, then the same SCSI ID assigned to each of the

drives may be all right.

¶ Even if none of the drives installed within a changer has

been assigned the same SCSI ID, it is necessary to check

that the same SCSI ID is not assigned to other devices

(e.g., hard disks) on the same SCSI bus.

Power cable

4. Connecting SCSI cables

After installing all drives and checking to make sure that they

have been properly connected, install the SCSI interface

cables.

Wiring monitor indicator

Termination indicator

NOTES:

¶ Maximum usable SCSI cables length is 6 meters (including

length of wiring inside changer). If the SCSI cable has extra

unused connectors, connect the final (end) connector to

the terminating drive; the extra intermediate connectors

may be left unconnected if not required. (See page 19,

"SCSI Cable Connection Example").

¶ When installing 7 or more drives or when creating multi

SCSI buses system for 6 drives or less, additional multi

drive connector panels or single drive connector panels

will be required.

3 Connect the changer interface cable.

¶ When the changer interface cable has been connected,

the wiring monitor indicators will flash at two-second

intervals.

Wiring monitor indicator

¶ When connecting the changer to a host computer, always

be sure to first turn off the power to both the changer and

the host computer. After the connections are finished, turn

on the power to the changer before turning the power to

the host computer back on.

¶ The changer SCSI termination switch is set to ON at the

time of shipment. Always make sure that the changer SCSI

termination switch is set to OFF when the changer is not

the last device in the SCSI chain.

Changer interface cable

¶ Note that the DRM-7000/DRM-3000 is unable to recognize

the existence of faulty SCSI cable connections or mistakes

in the assignment of SCSI IDs, and for this reason you

should always be sure to restart the host computer after

installation to make sure that all drive units and the changer

are properly recognized. This is the only way of confirming

that all SCSI devices are installed properly.

NOTE:

Connect the changer interface cable to the connector

corresponding to the bay in which the drives have been

installed. (Note that labels are affixed to connectors indicating

the corresponding bay number.) Note that it is extremely

important to do this, as connecting the changer interface cable

to a neighboring bay will result in damage to discs and the

disc transport mechanism.

3. Reading and self-checking the installed drive’s SCSI

ID by the changer

¶ If all drives have been assigned different SCSI IDs, a

buzzer will sound once.

¶ If the same SCSI ID has been assigned to two or more

drives, a buzzer will sound three times.

Installation

6. Closing access doors

First check to make sure that all components have been

installed into place and all cables have been connected.

If this has been done, close the front and the rear access

doors, then the initialization of the changer mechanism will

begin.

When initialization has been completed, a message like that

shown below will be displayed on the LCD message window.

The first line of this message is used to indicate the status of

the disc changer mechanism, and the second line is used to

indicate the installed drive number and to indicate whether

or not a disc has been loaded into the drive in question.

Drive numbers are assigned in sequence from the lowermost

to the uppermost drive.

NOTE:

If the maximum number of drives appears on the LCD

message window is shorter than the number of drives

installed, open the rear access door and check the power

cables and the changer interface cables to all drives installed.

(See System administrator mode: Door submodes on p. 37

for information on how to open the rear access door.)

OPERATION

The Pioneer DRM-7000/DRM-3000 has two operation modes.

One is user mode performing the computer-based operations

and the other is system administrator mode mainly performing

manual operations from the control panel. By dividing the

admitted operations into these two modes, it becomes

possible to prevent interference, conflicts, or clashes

occurring between operations performed from the control

panel and commands issued by the host computer.

SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR MODE

The privilege to perform operations from the control panel is

given to the system administrator who keeps lock release

keys. Note that the following steps must be performed in

order to switch to system administrator mode.

1. Insert lock release key into the key switch located on the

control panel and rotate 90 degrees to shift the switch to

UNLOCK position.

USER MODE

ESC

ENT

Once a changer has been finished its power on initialization

or closing doors after installation, it will enter user mode and

it will become able to be controlled by the changer control

software and database management software running on the

host computer. When a changer is running normally in user

mode, the LCD message window will display a series of the

following status messages in one-second intervals.

order to allow system administrators to make the most of

the features provided by changer control software and

database management software, optional functions may be

5. Alert buzzer (Set ON at the time of shipment)

6. Free message (Set OFF at the time of shipment)

≠

(Note that an “Auto probing is prohibited” message will

be displayed if auto probing is set to OFF.)

Note that even after switching auto probing function from

OFF to ON, auto probing will not actually be performed until

a reset is performed, a hyper magazine is inserted or the

mechanism initialization is finished after access doors are

closed.

When auto probing begins, the changer will begin to check

whether all slots of the disc magazines to be checked in

sequence to determine whether they are “empty” or “full”.

1. Auto probing

It is possible that discs have been inserted into normal-type

50-disc magazines and hyper magazines before these

magazines are inserted into the changer. But it does not mean

that these imported discs are ready to use because the

changer and the host computer have not recognized yet which

slot holds a disc or not. Therefore the first thing to do is

examining which slot a disc is in, that is called probing.

While this probing function is usually performed by the

changer control software running on the host computer, in

cases where users wish to perform this before connecting

the changer to the host computer or in cases where the

changer control software being used does not support such

probing function, probe submode (see p. 36) may be used

instead. Using probe submode, however, may be

inconvenient since it requires that all of the disc magazines

to be checked be specified one by one.

To turn auto probing temporarily off, turn the key switch to

UNLOCK position and press the ESC key.

NOTES:

¶ It takes approximately 2 minutes to check a 50-disc

magazine.

¶ Some commands from the host computer cannot be

executed while auto probing is being performed.

Auto probing may be used to have the changer automatically

check all disc magazines which need to be checked to

determine whether or not discs have been inserted.

Operation

2. Hot start

3. Auto eject

When discs have been transported to drives and the power

to the changer is turned off and then the power to the changer

is turned back on, then the discs will be automatically returned

to their original slots. (Note that this automatic disc return

operation is not performed after a SCSI bus reset.)

For discs which are accessed frequently, however, it is

possible to use the hot start feature to make those discs

accessible immediately after power is turned on by leaving

the discs in the drives which had used them.

In network environments there are often times when

changers are installed near servers far from the locations in

which user terminals are located.

In environments such as these, when a user uses the changer

control software to issue a command requesting a disc within

a changer be removed through a mailslot, it is necessary for

the user to go to the location where the changer in question

has been installed in order to remove the disc, but before the

user reaches the changer the mailslot in which the disc has

been transported may already have been opened.

This may be convenient for some cases, however, unless a

system administrator resides near the changer it is as if there

were no security at all, and the same holds true of the ejection

of a hyper magazine.

Hot start function is an optional function and it enables to

leave discs on the drives that had been using when the power

is turning on.

This is the reason why it has been made possible to turn OFF

auto eject function. Placing restrictions on the automatic

ejection of mailslot tray and on the automatic ejection of a

hyper magazine, makes it possible to maintain a certain level

of security.

NOTE:

software is designed so as to force discs to be returned to

their original slots.

(Note that a “Auto eject is activated” message will be

displayed if auto ejection function is set to ON.)

If auto eject function is set to OFF and a command is issued

from the host computer causing a disc to be carried to a

mailslot, the mailslot tray will not automatically open, and

instead a message like the following will be displayed on the

LCD message window.

Operation

Similarly, the hyper magazine will not be automatically ejected

even when an eject command is received from the host

computer, and instead like the following will be displayed on

the LCD message window.

Press the ENT key

≠

To press the ENT key to cause the tray of the mailslot or the

hyper magazine to be ejected, it is necessary for the key

switch to be in UNLOCK position. Since the tray of the mailslot

or the hyper magazine will not be ejected until a user with a

lock release key goes to the place where the changer in

question is installed and switches the key switch to UNLOCK

position, security is ensured during the interval between the

time a command is issued and the time the user actually

reaches the changer.

4. Hyper I/E

While a hyper magazine is designed to be used as a disc

magazine capable of accommodating 20-discs at a time, since

it is also allowed to be removed without opening access doors

a hyper magazine can also be used as a high-capacity mailslot.

(Note that a “Hyper I/E is activated” message will be

displayed if hyper I/E function is set to ON.)

The subsystems which make up SCSI changers may be

divided into the following four types of elements:

1. Media transport element (i.e., robotics)

2. Storage elements (i.e., slots)

NOTE:

Since hyper magazines retain their attributes as storage

elements even when hyper I/E function is set to ON, the

changer control software may not treat a hyper magazine as

an import/export element.

However, hyper I/E function should always be set to OFF

when the changer control software being used does not

recognize the use of multiple import/export elements or when

there is a danger of erroneous operations being performed.

3. Import/export element (i.e., mailslot)

4. Data transfer elements (i.e., drives)

Although slots (which are provided by disc magazines) and

mailslot are usually defined as different elements, by turning

ON hyper I/E function it becomes possible to control a hyper

magazine in the same way as mailslot.

Operation

5. Alert buzzer

6. Free message

Control panel of the DRM-7000/DRM-3000 is equipped with

a buzzer which is designed to sound at designated times.

When discs are to be inserted or removed in accordance with

instructions from the host computer, messages will be

displayed on the LCD message window indicating the next

operation which must be performed.

¶ When the rear access door is opened and a drive is being

inserted:

Since it is difficult to monitor progress from the LCD

message window while inserting a drive from the rear

access door, the buzzer sounds to provide an indication

that operation is proceeding without problem.

¶ When the keys on the control panel are disabled:

The buzzer will sound while the FUNCTION key is being

pressed.

For example, when a disc is to be inserted or removed from

a mailslot (i.e., when auto eject function has been turned

OFF), the following message will be displayed.

While the messages displayed on the LCD message window

up until this point are the same whether a disc is being

inserted or removed, since all operations after the mailslot

has been opened are performed in accordance with

instructions from the host computer, the changer LCD

message window cannot display messages adequately.

Note that the in these cases above the buzzer will sound

to provide a message to the operator in response to his/

her input, and for this reason these buzzer cannot be turned

off.

¶ When a problem occurs with the changer:

When a problem occurs with the changer, the buzzer will

continue to sound until the operator presses one of the

keys on the control panel.

By setting free message function ON, however, it becomes

possible to have the messages displayed on the LCD

message window overwritten by messages sent from the

host computer, and it becomes possible to display instructions

as the host computer wants to be done. It is also possible to

display other information such as the name of the application

controlling the changer, warning messages indicating that a

disc is being written, and other information which the host

computer possesses.

If in this case messages on the LCD message window or

warning messages on the screen of the host computer

are sufficient, this alert buzzer may be turned OFF.

Add

Hyper submode

Hyper submode is designed to eject a hyper magazine. Since

the DRM-7000/DRM-3000 is not equipped with an exclusive

key to eject a hyper magazine, you must enter this mode to

make the ENT key into the eject key.

¶ Use the » or « keys to specify the slot number to which

be careful not to add excessive force when inserting a

magazine.

Probe submode

It is possible that discs have been inserted into normal-type

50-disc magazines and hyper magazines before these

magazines are inserted into the changer. But it does not mean

that these imported discs are ready to use because the

changer and the host computer have not recognized yet which

slot holds a disc or not.

Probe submode is used to examine which slot a disc is in.

While this probing function is usually performed by the

changer control software running on the host computer, in

cases where users wish to perform this before connecting

the changer to the host computer or in cases where the

changer control software being used does not support such

probing function, probe submode may be used instead.

When the hyper magazine has been loaded, a unique

magazine ID will be displayed together with the record of the

locking mechanism.

When there are no records of the lock ever having been

unlocked, the message displayed will be as follows.

¶ If you press the ENT key at this point, the magazine bay

numbers into which magazines have been loaded will be

displayed in sequence.

When there are records of the lock having been unlocked,

the message displayed will be as follows.

¶ Press the » or « key to select a disc magazine and press

the ENT key to confirm your selection. The changer will

examine each of the slots within the disc magazine in

sequence to check whether or not a disc has been inserted.

Note that the magazine will be automatically ejected if the

changer is unable to read the magazine ID, and that if this

happens you should try inserting the magazine again.

≠

When all fifty slots have been probed, a message will be

displayed asking if you wish to continue.

Select “Yes” to continue and “No” to quit and then press

the ENT key.

Operation

Probe submode may also be used to examine which slot of

the hyper magazine a disc is in, in the same manner as for

50-disc magazines.

Door submode

This mode is used to open the access doors to swap 50-disc

magazines, to swap or add drives.

Note that once probe submode has been used to perform a

check on a given disc magazine, there is no need to ever

check again for the presence or absence of discs in that

magazine as long as that magazine is not removed from the

changer.

Note that it is necessary to make sure that all discs within

the changer have been returned to their disc magazines or

mailslot. Otherwise neither of the access doors can be

opened.

This may be done by the system administrator, who should

first check the status of the drives from the host computer

before halting service and returning all discs.

¶ When the ENT key is pressed, the changer will check to

see if any discs are currently used in drives. If there are

any discs in drives, the following message will be displayed.

If this message is displayed, press the ESC key to return

to user mode and issue a command requesting the discs

be returned from the host computer.

When it has been confirmed that there are no discs in

drives, the following message will be displayed. Move the

cursor to specify the access door(s) to be opened.

¶ Pressing the ENT key will cause the specified access

door(s) to be opened.

NOTE:

When either of the access doors is opened, the system will

automatically return to user mode. To enter a different

submode, press the FUNCTION key to re-enter system

administrator mode (see p. 24).

How to add a drive

ADDING DRIVE UNITS

1. Enter system administrator mode and enter door

submode to open the rear access door.

The following message will be displayed on the LCD

message window.

Any drive designed for use in the DRM-7000/DRM-3000

changer can easily be added as a new drive.

The power unit provided as standard equipment is designed

to provide sufficient electrical capacity to support up to 8

drives mounted in rear bays #1 to #8. When adding additional

drives to the rear bays #9 – #16 of the model DRM-7000,

however, an optional additional power unit is required.

2. Attach add-on connector panels, if necessary

Warning about static electricity

Screwdriver

Always be sure never to touch the contacts or ports of

any connectors when installing additional drives or any

other type of add-on equipment. Also be sure to touch a

metallic surface on the changer before beginning the

adding operations.

NOTES:

¶ When disconnecting drive cables that had been connected

before to make the work easier, always be sure to

disconnect those cables in the following order (i.e., the

opposite order from that in which they are connected):

1. SCSI interface cable

2. Changer interface cable

3. Power cable

¶ If you wish to add a drive to a SCSI bus where the

termination for an existing drive has been turned on, the

termination for the new drive to be added must be turned

on and the termination for the existing drive turned off.

3. Place the drive on the changer guide rails, push the

drive in until the lock lever on the drive shifts to the

locked position. Maybe you can hear a clicking sound

then.

4. Connect the power cable.

NOTES:

If it is difficult to work, the SCSI interface cables of other

drives should be disconnected before continuing.

¶ When the power cable has been connected, the wiring

monitor indicator on the rear of the drive (orange) will

light up.

¶ If installed drives are to be connected to different SCSI

buses, then the same SCSI ID assigned to each of the

drives may be all right.

¶ Even if none of the drives installed within a changer has

been assigned the same SCSI ID, it is necessary to check

that the same SCSI ID is not assigned to other devices

(e.g., hard disks) on the same SCSI bus.

¶ When the termination switch of the drive is set to on,

the termination indicator (green) will light up.

7. Connect the SCSI interface cable.

If you have disconnected the SCSI interface cables of any

other drives in Step 4, be sure to remember to reconnect

those cables.

8. Enter system administrator mode and enter config

submode (see p. 26) to check that the changer

recognizes all the internal drives.

For example, three DVD-ROM drives and one DVD-R drive

have been added in the rear bays beginning from Bay #1

in sequence, the following messages will be displayed.

6. The changer will then read the drive’s SCSI ID and

compare the drive’s settings to those of existing drives.

¶ If all drives have been assigned different SCSI IDs, a

buzzer will sound once.

¶ If the same SCSI ID has been assigned to two or more

drives, a buzzer will sound three times.
