02 Connecting up Network connection This player can be connected to a local area network (LAN) via the Ethernet port on the rear panel. After making the physical connection the player needs to be set up for network communication. This is done from the Initial Setup menu-see Setting up for network use on page 21 for detailed instructions. For best performance, we recommend using a 100BASE-TX compatible PC and Ethernet hub. Connecting via an Ethernet hub If you already operate one or more PCs on a local area network, you can integrate this player by connecting it to the Ethernet hub using a standard (also known as "straight through") type CAT-5 LAN (Ethernet) cable (not supplied). In the example configuration below, this player would be able to access content from either of the PCs. Controlling this player via another Pioneer component The CONTROL IN jack allows you to control this player via the remote control sensor of another Pioneer component-typically an AV receiver-that has a CONTROL OUT jack. Remote control signals are passed through to the player from the remote sensor of the other component, allowing you greater freedom in the placement of your player. • Use a miniplug cord (not supplied) to connect the CONTROL IN jack of this player with the CONTROL OUT jack of your other Pioneer component.

You can thus have just the receiver outside of the cabinet and still be able to control the player. PC 1 PC 2 Connecting directly to a PC If you only need to use one PC to act as a media server, you can connect this player directly to the PC using a crossed (also known as a "cross-over") type CAT-5 LAN (Ethernet) cable (not supplied).

Please see the operating instructions of the IR receiver for the power requirements. PC 16 En
