Hi,

SONY have recently discontinued the miniature 7-pin connector and
lead (to bare ends) that is used to connect accessories to the Remote
Digital I/O connector on the SONY TCD-D7 or TCD-D8 DAT recorders (SONY
Part Number 1-751-146-11).

My company produces a special intelligent dual remote controller for
SONY DAT recorders to start/stop and record simultaneously on two DAT
recorders from a radio or telephone source, and until recently we have
been regularly purchasing the leads from SONY as spares. When we tried
to order a further supply of 24 leads from SONY recently we were
informed that that particular lead was now obsolete and that there was
no alternative available. I find this very surprising, and MOST


Core Sound mung their own conector for this (i think) out of a pcb header .

Hi,

It's me again. I thought my problem was solved after the suggestions
I've received following my posting BUT when I e-mailed Core Sound, they,
as well as Oade Brothers, have now said that they cannot supply either a
plug on its own, or a plug with lead.

So, my search for a suitable supplier must now continue. Any further
ideas from anyone?

TIA - Dave
