    System Control ConnectionsUsing a commercially available cord with a mini plug (3.5mm dia. with no resistance) to connect this playersCONTROL IN jack to the CONTROL OUT jack of anotherPIONEER component bearing the mark, you cancontrol the player as though it were a component in asystem (system control).

    If you connect for system control, you cannot operatethe player directly. Point the remote control unit at thecomponent (AV amplifier, etc.) connected to theCONTROL OUT jack to operate.

    When controlling as a system, be sure to make aconnection to the amplifier using an audio or videocord, even when using only digital components.

    For details, refer to the operation manuals of theconnected components.

    TV SYSTEM switch (except for U.S. andCanadian models)Video output changes as follows according to theplayback discs recorded format.

    NTSC = PAL, PAL = NTSC conversion is possible onVideo CDs. PAL = NTSC conversion is not possible onDVDs. When the TV SYSTEM switch is set to the AUTOposition, the discs format will be output as is. When aCD or disc is not loaded, the previous video outputformat will be selected.

    About MOD. (Modulation) PAL SHRINK

    Most models of the newly developed countdown PALTV system detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz (NTSC) andautomatically switch vertical amplitude, resulting in adisplay without vertical shrinkage.

    If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, youmay not be able to view NTSC disc because thepicture may roll. If the TV has a V-Hold control, adjustit until the picture stops rolling. On some TVs, thepicture may shrink vertically, leaving black bands atthe top and bottom of the screen. This is not amalfunction; it is caused by the NTSC = PALconversion.
