Court records show Cornelius entered the plea to five misdemeanor counts through his attorney Thursday.
The 72-year-old producer was arrested in October after police responded to a domestic dispute call at his Hollywood Hills home. He was charged last month with spousal battery, assault with a deadly weapon and dissuading a witness from making a police report.
The records indicate Cornelius was not in court Thursday, but was ordered to appear for a January pretrial hearing.
