PC Control of the System

•When a program is set, the display can be controlled from the PC using the RS-232C terminal.

The input signal (PC/video) can be selected, the volume can be adjusted and various other adjustments and settings can be made, enabling automatic programmed playing.

•Attach an RS-232C cable cross-type (commercially available) to the supplied Din/D-sub RS-232C for the connections.

NOTE

• This operation system should be used by a person who is accustomed to using PCs.
