Agreed. I just looked for the owner's manual online, and cannot find a free version. depening on how technical it gets, or if you can find the service manual for it, that would be helpful.
my question is, do these wires output the sound as well, or is that in another part of the unit?
what buttons/switches are on the unit? knowing its features/functions might give meaning to those wires.
failing all else, my first try would be seeing where those extra wires trace to on the circuit board in the player. I would then look up the part numbers of the major chips/parts involved to see what they do. that should give you some indication of what type of signals/voltages those wires need. I would then hook up 16Vac to the AC wires and see what happens. if all is stable, then read those wires on a multimeter to see if they output voltage or expect voltage brought into them.
Mainly, knowing *how* it interacts with the device it came out of will give you some of the info you need.
If you still have access to the older main unit, I would make a 'breakout' cable and bring a meter and notepad along and record the reading you observe during various stages of operating.
(Also, the "RST" might be 'Rest' which is the arm in the 'down' position.)
