Yup. Like Henry says getting the Manuals are no problem. About $20 to $30 
and about 3 weeks from my local Sony Service.

The pin out of the 5 pin remote according to my EV-C8/C8u service manual
are as follows.

1	DC power
2
3	Power on
4	Serial cont
5	Unreg gnd
	Reference on page 50,89

	I had the same idea after using the editor but as of yet I have not 
had the time to break the bi-directional serial code. Maybe they used TCP/IP :-)
	The EV-C8 also has a direct control port and a camera port.
