Connection

Connecting the RS-232C

connector

The RS-232C connector can be used for connecting external control devices.

For details on control protocols, consult Sony service personnel.

Connecting the CTRL-S IN

connector

When using the supplied remote control unit as a wired remote control unit, use the supplied control S cable to connect the control S connector in the infrared emission section of the remote control unit to the CTRL-S IN connector. An external control device equipped with a control S connector can also be connected in the same manner.

In either case, it is possible to control the same functions as the supplied remote control unit when used as a wireless remote control unit.

Note

When the control S cable is connected to the CTRL-S IN connector, infrared reception of the player is disabled. To use the supplied remote control unit as a wireless remote control unit, be sure to disconnect the control S cable from both the control S output connector on the remote control unit and the CTRL-S IN connector on the player.
