You could always get one of those universal remote controls and teach it the
codes you need. Then wire your control circuit to the remote. Radio Shack
sells a cheap one for $50. Or you could do what I did: wire a relay across
the switch contacts in the player. It's really cheap and it works. I use this
to start CD players from my board. Good luck!
