This means you have some kind of
problem with the SCSI cable or a
problem with termination.
1. Power down the computer and the Pioneer Changer and re-seat
the cable. Make sure it is securely attached. If the problem persists,
replace the cable.
2. Check termination. If the Pioneer Changer is the only device or the
last device on the SCSI chain, termination should be ON. If it is in the
middle of a SCSI chain, termination should be OFF.
The DRM-604X has a termination switch on the back panel that can be set
ON or OFF. The DRM-602X sets termination by placing DIP switch 2 in an
UP/ON position or a DOWN/OFF position.

2. Power down the computer and the changer, disconnect the cable
from the back of the computer and restart . If you get an error message
that reads “Time Out During Selection Phase”, you may have a bad cable or a
poor connection. Reseat the cable or change it and try again.
3. If the problem persists, it may be a interface card conflict, a bad
extension slot, or a problem with the interface card. Try changing the
address of the interface card. Refer to interface card documentation. Try
placing the interface card in another slot. Try replacing the interface card.
