2Select the volume level setting.1

•Variable – Use this setting if you’ve connected a power amplifier in the sub room (this receiver is simply being used as a pre-amp) and you will be using this receiver’s controls to adjust the volume.

•Fixed – Use this setting if you’ve connected a fully integrated amplifier (such as another Pioneer VSX receiver) in the sub room and want to use that receiver’s volume controls. (This setting is not available if the surround back system setting is set to MR & S.)

With the Fixed setting, the source is sent from this receiver at maximum volume, so make sure the volume is quite low in the sub room at first and then experiment to find the correct level.

3Select the type of IR receiver you’re using.

•Setting 1 – Default setting.

•Setting 2 – Use this setting if the IR receiver you’re using doesn’t seem to work with Setting 1.2

4When you're finished, press RETURN.

You will return to the Other Setup menu.

SR+ Setup for Pioneer plasma displays

See also Using this receiver with a Pioneer plasma display on page 55 and Using the SR+ mode with a Pioneer plasma display on page 56.

Note

1If you selected MR&S in the Surround back speaker setting on page 35, you won’t be able to change the volume level.

2• Some IR receivers may not work with this receiver. Check with your audio dealer for more information.

• If the IR receiver setting is incorrect, SR control won’t be possible with this receiver.
