Hi !

In the Jukebox recorder, the TXD1 line is present at the
connector between the main and the interface board,
at pin 39. On the interface board, this pin is not
connected, as far as i know.
Since both units are very similar, maybe it's the same case
in the player?

By the way, this is actually a good idea, having a complete
serial port to connect to. This would make it possible to build
remote controls with a display :)
