  • Page 8: Introduction

    This document defines the RS-232C command protocol for the Pioneer DVD-V8000 Industrial DVD Player. The DVD-V8000 is capable of playing DVD, CD and VCD discs. The device has three control methods, front panel, remote control or computer interface through the RS-232C serial port.

  • Page 9: Interface

    INTERFACE Interface Connector A computer may be connected to the DVD-V8000 using a 15-pin D-Sub connector (e.g., a JAE DALC-J15SAF connector with suitable plug such as the JAE DA-15PF-N) to the RS-232C serial port or to the parallel port. This unit is also equipped with 9pin connector for serial control.
