Does anyone know of a cheap, single disc DVD player that has IP-Bus control and RCA output?

If I understand correctly, with the D2 I can use the RCA inputs and IP-Bus input to control a DVD player?

If I am wrong please let me know.

To my knowledge poineer doesn't make a single dvd player like what you're looking for. Only the dvd changer.

I know that Pioneer doesn't make one, but if I had a single DVD player (not from Pioneer) that had an IP-Bus (but not AV-Bus) would I be able to control it through the D2?

Something like this, but a single disc.

Theoretically if there existed a single disc DVD player w/IP-Bus, it should be able to control it, but I don't think such a thing exists. IP-Bus is proprietary to Pioneer. It's possible Pioneer made something like that for the Japanese market, but I've looked before and didn't find anything like that.

Keep an eye on Ebay for a SDV-P7. Pioneer stopped making these 1-2 years ago(WAY TOO EXPENSIVE!!), but they will work on the IP-Bus

Thanks! My next response was actually going to ask for the model number of the DVD player Pioneer used to make.


I will keep an eye out!

Sold for $475... no thank you! For that amount I'll buy the XDV-P6 6 disc changer.

Unbelievable. Someone wanted that really, really badly.

Yea when I saw that I was shocked also.

I expected it to go for $80 at the most, and I was going to spend that. But when I saw it go from $40 to $400 I was floored.

And now, of course, everyone who has one will expect to get $400 for it and that kinda sucks :?

Oh well, I'm going for that dvd changer with IP bus control that I posted about the other day.

Hey sportsfan,

I noticed your other post asking for the single din dvd player. Youre not getting the dvd changer anymore?

Well I'm looking for either one.


I've been bidding on both of them on (unsucessfully so far) and would take either one.

I really don't need the 6 disc DVD (although it is much cooler) and I'm still not 100% that it'll work on the D2. Since I know the SDV-P7 will work on the D2, I've been looking for that too, and will take either one, depending on which one I win.

why spend so much on a dvd player just to have the ip-bus.

it is no big deal to get some other brand that comes with a remote control and a infrared eye that you can put anywhere

Because I don't want to use a remote. I want to be able to control it from the D2, hence the need for the IP bus.

yeah that's nice, but i would never spend like $150+ for a dvd player.

i dont see why you really need to control it, since all you have to do is push play and watch movie.

unless you want those that can read videoclips or mpeg. But i doubt the one that pioneer sell can read those format.

that's just my opinion

ONe good reason is the XDV-P6 6 disc changer also reads MP3 and WMA disks. Ofssets the Z1 HDD for D2 owners as far as I am concerned. MY factory unit had a 6 disk changer, so this might be a good fit more wee too. DVD is a bonus.

Having an iPod already offsets most of the benefits of the Z1 HDD, IMO.

I am not an Ipod owner, but I was considering buying one just to use with this adapter and the D2. However all the stuff I have read regarding the shortcomings of the software used on it, the info it provides, and does not provide and the speed of the interface, all has warned me off the Ipod track. Good point though. The more I look at it, the less the Z1 is worth it.

Look into getting the iPod2Car instead of the Pioneer iPod adaptor.

It displays the entire title and artist name, still plays while you change and search through tracks and searches faster (not much, but faster).

You can also go on eBay and pick up an iPod that works but has a broken screen. You don't need the screen on the iPod since the display will be on the D2.
