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.
