>Okay... does anybody have a pinout diagram for this 8-pin din plug?

Yes, I am reading from the schematics.  I have the tech manual because I
usually order with the foresight knowing that it will break in 10 years and no
one will have one to be able to fix it.  The manual will help with that.

Anyway, this is what the diagram has.

Those are the only ones listed for the I/O port.  The subcode out port also has
information lines, but I don't know if they are used in conjunction with the
I/O port or not (most likely not).  I guess all the lines are not in use as 
one would expect.

The other problem is in knowing what commands the player will understand.

One solution, call Pioneer and ask them.  I do believe they have customer
support and tech support that could help you with this.
