FCC INFORMATION

The equipment described in this manual has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in Part 15 of FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against radio and television reception interference in a residential installation. There is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

To determine if your player is causing interference, turn the device OFF. If the player is causing the interference, try one or more of the following corrective measures:

•verify the cables and connectors between components are shielded.

•increase separation between the player and components.

•connect the changer into an outlet or circuit different from that which the components are connected.

•consult dealer or experienced radio/television technician for help.

The Federal Communications Commission offers a handbook that may help you with eliminating interference. The handbook is titled Interference Handbook (stock number 004-000-00493-1) and may be ordered from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402.

Warning: Any changes or modifications to this product that are not authorized by Pioneer could void the FCC Certification and negate the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

DOC CLASS B COMPLIANCE

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus set out in the radio interference regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.

SAFETY CAUTION

Care should always be taken when working with electronic devices. To protect you and your DVD-V5000 player from damage or harm, it is important that you first read and then carefully follow the instructions in this documentation. Take particular care to heed all warnings and cautions marked on the unit and outlined in this document and the accompanying DVD-V5000 Industrial Player Operating Instructions. IGNORING ANY OR ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS MAY CAUSE INJURY TO THE PERSON(S) OPERATING THE EQUIPMENT, DAMAGE TO THE PRODUCT OR BOTH.

RS-232C specifications

The Pioneer RS-232C is a significant component in the realm of communication technology, especially known for its application in serial communications. Initially introduced in the 1960s as part of the EIA-232 standard, RS-232C has evolved through various iterations to become a foundational interface for connecting data communication equipment (DCE) with data terminal equipment (DTE). This article outlines its main features, technologies, and characteristics.

One of the hallmark features of RS-232C is its ability to facilitate point-to-point communication. It allows for a direct link between two devices, making it suitable for a variety of applications, including modems, printers, computers, and other peripherals. The RS-232C interface typically uses a 25-pin connector, although a 9-pin variant is also common in many modern devices. This interface is based on serial communications, where bits are sent sequentially over a single channel, leveraging fewer wires compared to parallel communication methods.

In terms of technology, RS-232C operates primarily at voltage levels of +12V to -12V, which provide the necessary signaling for data transmission. The standard supports baud rates ranging from 300 to 115200 bps, accommodating various data transfer speeds depending on the needs of the hardware involved. RS-232C defines various electrical characteristics and timing requirements, ensuring robust performance over relatively short distances, typically up to 15 meters, depending on the baud rate.

Another essential aspect of the RS-232C standard is its use of asynchronous communication, allowing devices to transmit data without having to synchronize their clocks. Each data packet typically consists of a start bit, a predefined number of data bits (usually 7 or 8), an optional parity bit for error-checking, and one or more stop bits. This method allows for error detection and ensures data integrity during transmission.

Despite its age, the RS-232C interface remains relevant, especially in industrial applications, instrumentation, and legacy systems. Its simplicity, low cost, and widespread acceptance make it a versatile choice for connecting various devices, even in a world increasingly dominated by USB and other modern interfaces.

In conclusion, the Pioneer RS-232C is a remarkable testament to the enduring nature of serial communication technology. Its straightforward design, reliability, and ease of integration continue to make it a staple in numerous applications, underscoring its significance in the landscape of data communication.
