Network Connection; Controlling This Player Via Another Pioneer Component - Pioneer BDP-LX 70A Operating Instructions Manual

Network connection

02
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 19 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
the included LAN cable.
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.
