FLEXIBLE UNIT DESIGN
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.
The front bay is for exclusive use with 50-disc magazines;
the rear bay has been designed as a multi-purpose installation
area:
Loading Capacity

Discs 370 Discs 170
If desired, you can start with empty bay spaces and add
devices to them as your requirements increase.
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. Builtin 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.
EASE OF INSTALLATION
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.
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
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.

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
INSTALLATION
Select an installation site with a flat, solid surface.
Do not install the system where it will suffer any of the
following:
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.
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.
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.
÷ 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.
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.
FOR SAFETY
÷ 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. )
÷ 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.
÷ 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.
CONDENSATION
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.

READ BEFORE USE
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.
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.
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/DRM3000, 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.
OFFLINE MEDIA MANAGEMENT
The DRM-7000/DRM-3000 provides the following features
which makes it perfect for the management of offline media.
¶ 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.
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.
¶ 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.
¶ 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.
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.
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.
English
¶ 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.

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.
The connector panel and SCSI cables which come with the
DRM-7000/DRM-3000 are prepared on the assumption of the
following system configuration:
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 DRM7000/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.
By adding an optional expansion power unit to the DRM7000, 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).
NOTE:
¶
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.
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.)
¶ 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:
DC +5 V Max 4 A
DC +12 V Max 4 A
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]
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.)

Discs which may be used with the Pioneer DRM-
7000/DRM-3000
The types of discs which may be used with the Pioneer DRM7000/DRM-3000 vary depending on the types of drives being
used, and for further information on the types of discs which
may be used you should accordingly consult the operating
instructions provided with your drive units.
Handling the discs
÷ Avoid touching the signal surface when you use a disc.
÷ To hold it, place your fingers on the edge of the disc or the
edge of the center hole and the disc edge.
÷ Do not attach paper or stickers to the label side of the
disc. Handle discs carefully and avoid damaging the label.
English
÷ Discs rotate at high speed in the changer. Do not use
defective discs (e.g., cracked or considerably warped).
Such discs may damage the changer.
÷ DO NOT use non-standard discs, as these may adversely
influence this unit and other equipment.
÷ DO NOT play a CD having other shape than a circular disc,
such as heart shaped disc, or malfunction may occur.

TO AVOID PROBLEMS
The following is a list of operation items that may potentially lead to problems in component functioning.
Potential Malfunction/ErrorIssue
1. Installation
2. Connections
3. Power ON/OFF
4. Control
5. Transporting Unit
6. Error Correction
÷ Do not place foreign objects inside the changer, since malfunction
may result.
÷ Do not use the changer in locations subject to high concentrations
of dust, heat, or humidity.
* 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.
÷ When connecting exterior SCSI cable, be sure that power is first
turned off to host computer and changer.
* 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.
÷ 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.
÷ 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.
÷ Never disconnect power while the changer is transporting a disc, or
when the writer is recording data to a disc.
÷ When turning the power off and then on again, wait at least ten
seconds after turning the power off before turning it on again.
÷ 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).
÷ When transporting the unit, pack the unit in its original packaging
materials, and ship in an upright position. Do not transport the unit
on its side.
÷ Do not transport the unit with drive units, 50-disc magazines or other
optional accessories loaded (except for 20-disc hyper-magazine).
When transporting the accessories, repack them in their original
packaging materials.
÷ Do not transport disc magazines with discs loaded.
÷ E8❋, E9❋, EF8, or EF3 errors cannot be corrected merely by reset-
ting the changer's power on/off. The system administrator mode
must be used to open and then close the door again. For these and
other errors, see the Operating Instructions, p. 44.

TO AVOID PROBLEMS
Potential Malfunction/ErrorIssue
7. Discs
8. Disc Magazines
9. Disc Reversal Unit
÷ 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.
* 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.
÷ 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.
÷ 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.
÷ To produce stable recording and playback, use only recommended
discs. For recommended discs, consult your dealer or Pioneer's
website.
÷ This component does not support DVD-R for Authoring media.
÷ 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).
÷ Do not allow the open end of magazines to point downward, since
discs may fall out.
÷ Insert magazines slowly into the changer, since discs may fly fall out
if the magazine is inserted with excessive force.
* When inserting a magazine, if the electronic buzzer sounds or
error [E83 disc set NG] appears in the display, remove the magazine, press any dislodged discs back into the magazine, and slowly
insert the magazine once again.
÷ 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.
* The DRM-3000 module is not limited by firmware revisions.
