HDMI Control

By connecting this unit to an

HDMI Control-compatible Pioneer plasma television or AV system (amplifier or AV receiver etc.) with an HDMI cable, you can control this unit from the remote control of a connected plasma television, as well as have the connected plasma television automatically change inputs in response to this unit starting playback.

Refer to the operating manual for your plasma television or AV system for more information about which operations can be carried out by connecting via HDMI cable.

Auto-select function

You can have a connected plasma television or AV system automatically change inputs when playback begins on this unit (including when you have a GUI (such as Disc Navigator) set to display on this unit). Certain connected plasma televisions may have their power turned from off to on when using this function.

Simultaneous power function

You can have this unit turn on automatically when the power for a connected plasma television is turned on. To have this unit’s power turned off when a connected plasma television is turned off, you must change the simultaneous power function of your plasma television.

By receiving language information from a connected plasma television, you can have this unit’s language settings automatically change to those of the plasma television (language information can be received only when no media is being played back and no recordings are taking place, or when you choose not to display this unit’s GUI displays). Refer to your plasma television’s operating manual for more information regarding how your plasma television transmits language information.

Setup Navigator

Language information is imported from your plasma television before you begin Setup Navigator (see Switching on and setting up on page 30).
