The HDMA-4000 can be controlled from a device connected to the serial port.
The HDMA-4000 has two serial command modes: Pioneer LD/DVD mode, which is
more compatible with a Pioneer CD/DVD, and HDMA-4000(Ver.1.1x) mode, which
is a traditional serial control command mode.
These modes can be changed via a Web browser’s settings page. (See Reference 4).
