Controlling this player via another Pioneer component

The CONTROL IN jack allows you to control this player via the remote control sensor of another Pioneer component — typically an AV receiver — that has a CONTROL OUT jack. Remote control signals are passed through to the player from the remote sensor of the other component, allowing you greater freedom in the placement of your player.

•Use a miniplug cord (not supplied) to connect the CONTROL IN jack of this player with the CONTROL OUT jack of your other Pioneer component.
