The following table illustrates the pinout of the DE9 serial connector on 4K players:
pin | Description | pin | Description |
1 | NC | 2 | Receive data into the device |
3 | Transmit data out of the device | 4 | Available 5V@500mA |
5 | Ground | 6 | NC |
7 | RTS | 8 | CTS |

DA15 GPIO
The GPIO switch/lLED connector is a DA15 female. This connector is used to allow the player to control external LEDs or other devices requiring 24mA of current or less.
Connect the LED outputs to the LED ANODE and connect the LED CATHODE to the ground. If you want to connect another device, then the output is capable of sourcing or sinking up to 3.3V at 24mA, but there is a series resistor of 100Ω in each line.
The connector also allows the connecting of external contact closures to the ground. In order to connect a switch, connect one side of the switch to the switch input, and connect the other side to one of the ground pins on the DA15 connector. The connector can also supply 3.3V at up to 500mA to an external device. The 3.3V output is polyfuse-protected and can source up to 500mA.

NoteThe GPIO outputs have 100Ω series resistors; the GPIO inputs have 1K pullup resistors to 3.3V; and the input threshold on the 541 chips is 2V high and .8V low. The high voltage is not problematic, but the low voltage can be if there are too many inputs connected to one output. |
1 out driving 1 in | V=3.3*100/(100+1,000)=0.3 |
1 out driving 2 in | V=3.3*100/(100+500)=0.55 |
1 out driving 3 in | V=3.3*100/(100+333.3)=0.76 |
1 out driving 4 in | V=3.3*100/(100+250)=.94 (This is too high, so 1 output driving 3 inputs is the maximum) |
