REMOTE INTERFACE CONNECTORS
Start/Cue logic
The Start/Cue logic from the Stereo channel ON switches is designed to interface to a common standard employed
by Denon and Pioneer equipment. The logic signals are usually wired to a 2 pole 3.5mm jack plug where a low pulse
on the tip starts the deck and a low pulse on the sleeve stops or cues the deck. There needs to be some form of
ground connection between the equipment for this to work—normally effected by the audio connector leads.
Notice that there are Start/Cue outputs for 7 machines even though there are only 4 Stereo channel ON switches.
That’s because there are dual inputs on 3 of the stereo channels making a total of 7 sources and the XB-14 only sends
a Start/Cue signal to the deck selected as a source to the channel whose switch is pressed. It’s clever like that!
