If I remember right you don't need a nullmodem rs232 cable, but a straight one.

[miramanee]

what is a straight one?

The manual suggests to use a rcc-5g (original Sony cable) which is a RS-422 cable.

You can get one of those over here:

I am using one of these cables and it works great.

Ah ok, my bad...
So a straight serial cable then, got to order for myself as well

yeah, but it's the same connector and the same pinout as as a 232 cable, so both are fine. Nullmodem cables on the other hand have crossed wires on some of the pins.

must it be male to male or male to female?

[Fudoh]

male on both ends.
