Operating your KD-PC2 Video Processor card

Your KD-PC2 video processor card is easy to control and operate with the included IR Remote 

Control unit.  You will now learn how to control the KD-PC2 video card using the navigation buttons 

on this remote control, and the On-screen Display (OSD) menu that will appear on your Pioneer 

Plasma Display.  You may also control the KD-PC2 video card via the RS-232 port on the Pioneer 

Plasma Display, if available.  The Remote Control for the Pioneer Plasma Display does not directly 

control the operation of the KD-PC2 video card.

1.

  Bring up the KD-PC2 OSD

You can bring up the OSD by pressing the “Menu” button on the KD-PC2 IR Remote Control.
See the section later in this Operating Manual entitled “IR Remote Control” for the full operation of 

your KD-PC2 IR Remote Control.

Select a live source using the HDMI1, HDMI2, HDMI3, HDMI4, RGB(HV), Component, S-
Video, or Composite Video buttons on the KD-PC2 IR Remote Control.

2.

  Navigate the KD-PC2 OSD Menu

Once you have brought up the OSD from the KD-PC2 video card, you can learn to navigate, or 

move through, the menu.

See the section later in this Operating Manual entitled “OSD Menu Tree” for the complete 

listing of all menu options for your KD-PC2 video card.

To navigate through the KD-PC2 OSD:

Bring up the KD-PC2 OSD by pressing the MENU button on the KD-PC2 IR Remote Control.  

The OSD menu will appear on the Pioneer Plasma Display.  

The OSD will turn off after about 

thirty (30) seconds.

  

You can navigate through the OSD Menu by using the 

UP

 and 

DOWN

 arrows, and then the 

LEFT

 and

 arrows to move to the next level of the submenu tree

Press 

SET

 to select (invoke) a desired feature, function, or setting in the menu

Pres the

 button to return to the prior level of the menu or cancel a selection

3.

  Learn the KD-PC2 IR Remote Control “Hot Buttons”

Use the “Hot Buttons” for instant action without the need for the OSD visual cue:

4.

  Configure and Control the KD-PC2 via the OSD Menu

Once you have brought up the OSD from the KD-PC2 video card and have learned to perform the 

basic navigation through the OSD Menu Tree and the use of the IR Remote Control “Hot Buttons,” 

you can start to configure, setup, and control your KD-PC2 video card.  The OSD is overlaid on the 

selected source video input.

KD-PC2 video card OSD.  Subsequent Firmware Upgrades could change some of the items.
