Computer Control 

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.
