Connecting a DVD recorder
Note
• Maximum number of devices that can be connected and
controlled using the remote control unit of the plasma
television is as follows: recorder x 2, player x 2, AV system x 1.
• When connecting an AV system, be sure to place and connect
it between the plasma television and recorder or player.
• Do not connect an AV system that does not support the HDMI
Control functions between the plasma television and a
recorder/player, otherwise the HDMI Control functions may not
operate properly.
• When connecting an AV system that does not support the
HDMI Control functions and a player/recorder that supports
the HDMI Control functions to the plasma television, connect
the AV system to the DIGITAL OUT terminal and the MONITOR
OUT terminal on the plasma television using an optical digital
cable and a stereo audio cable, and the recorder/player to the
HDMI terminal using an HDMI compliant cable (see the
illustration on the right).
Please note that signals input from the HDMI terminals will not
be output from the DIGITAL OUT terminal.
• HDMI Control may not operate properly if you do not use an
HDMI cable that supports the HDMI 1.3 Specification.
• After making connections, enter the setting in “Input Setting”
for “HDMI Control Setting”. Be sure that the setting is entered
in each HDMI input terminal to which the device is connected.
• Settings in the connected device(s) are also required to use the
HDMI Control functions. For details, see the operation manual
that came with the connected device(s).
• When a recorder is connected, its power is automatically
switched on as the plasma television is turned On to help make
the recording smoother.
• When the image from a BD/DVD player or DVD recorder
connected through an HDMI Control supported AV system is
switched to display on sub screen in the 2-screen or picture-in-
picture mode, the sub screen turns black without displaying
any image.
• For more information on the devices that support the HDMI
Control functions, check the Pioneer Web site (see back cover).
