System Control Connections
Using a commercially available cord with a mini plug
(3.5 mm dia. with no resistance) to connect this player’s
CONTROL IN jack to the CONTROL OUT jack of another
PIONEER component bearing the Î mark, you can
control the player as though it were a component in a
system (system control).
• If you connect for system control, you cannot operate
the player directly. Point the remote control unit at the
component (AV amplifier, etc.) connected to the
CONTROL OUT jack to operate.
• When controlling as a system, be sure to make a
connection to the amplifier using an audio or video
cord, even when using only digital components.
• For details, refer to the operation manuals of the
connected components.
