Soooo... I've got this TP-117.
Completely coincidentally, I also have a DZ-111 CDP and K-111 tape deck, as well as just gave away a similar auto-reverse tape deck whose model number I forget. I was going to see about getting stuff together to test the remote control functionality of this unit.
It appears that the CDP is easy. I just get some mono mini headphone m-m cables and go Was sitting down to put together a Monoprice order when I reread the manual and also pulled the cassette deck out of the gear closet. Now it appears that I was initially incorrect, the mini mono phone cable works for the CDP but for the tape deck I need to get what appears to be an 8 pin DIN cable, plus a y-cable that has a female DIN to two male mini DINs. My tape deck does not have the headphone jack on the back like the CDP, so that seems to confirm this, and there is a DIN connector on the back marked "Remote Control"...
Am I correct, and any suggestions as to where to get this stuff without breaking the bank? If I end up having to make these myself are there any standard pinouts or is perusal of the schematics required? I probably won't actually use the Lux CDP as I have an Oppo 95, and I don't know if this tape deck is better than my HK one or not. I really just wanted to try to use this thing to its capabilities so if the day came to ever sell it I'd a) have all the stuff to make it work as intended even if they weren't original Lux cables and b) I'd be able to honestly tell buyer what did and didn't work.
Thanks for any help!
