System Control Connections
Using a commercially available cord with a mini plug
(3.5 mm dia. with no resistance) to connect this player’s
CONTROL IN jack to the CONTROL OUT jack of another
PIONEER component bearing the Î mark, you can
control the player as though it were a component in a
system (system control).
• If you connect for system control, you cannot operate
the player directly. Point the remote control unit at the
component (AV amplifier, etc.) connected to the
CONTROL OUT jack to operate.
• When controlling as a system, be sure to make a
connection to the amplifier using an audio or video
cord, even when using only digital components.
• For details, refer to the operation manuals of the
connected components.
TV SYSTEM switch (DV-K302CD only)
Video output changes as follows according to the
playback disc‘s recorded format.
NTSC = PAL, PAL = NTSC conversion is possible on
Super VCDs/Video CDs. PAL = NTSC conversion is not
possible on DVDs. When the TV SYSTEM switch is set to
the AUTO position, the disc’s format will be output as is.
When a CD or disc is not loaded, the previous video
output format will be selected.
About MOD. (Modulation) PAL
• SHRINK
Most models of the newly developed countdown PAL
TV system detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz (NTSC) and
automatically switch vertical amplitude, resulting in a
display without vertical shrinkage.
• If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you
may not be able to view NTSC disc because the
picture may roll. If the TV has a V-Hold control, adjust
it until the picture stops rolling. On some TVs, the
picture may shrink vertically, leaving black bands at
the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a
malfunction; it is caused by the NTSC = PAL
conversion.
