Using the SR+ mode with a Pioneer plasma display

When connected using an SR+ cable, a number of features become available to make using this receiver with your Pioneer plasma display even easier. These features include:

•On-screen displays when making receiver settings, such as speaker setup, MCACC setup, and so on.

•On-screen volume display.

•On-screen display of listening mode.

•Automatic video input switching on the plasma display.

•Automatic volume muting on the plasma display.

See also SR+ Setup for Pioneer plasma displays on page 69 for more on setting up the receiver.

Important

•The SR+ features do not work when any of the iPod, HOME MEDIA GALLERY (VSX-94TXH only), XM, or SIRIUS Radio function is selected.

Connecting a PC for Advanced MCACC output

When using the Acoustic Calibration EQ Professional (see page 42) to calibrate the reverb characteristics of your listening room, you can graphically check the results on your computer connected to this receiver. Also, when the Full Band Phase Control function is activated, you can visually check the calibrated characteristics of group delay of the speakers and the corrected characteristics of group delay processed by the exclusive correction filter by installing the corresponding PC application on your computer.

Use a commercially-available RS-232C cable to connect the RS-232C jack on your computer to the 9-pin RS-232C jack on the back panel of this receiver (the cable must be cross type, female–female).

The software to output the results is available from the support area of the Pioneer website (http:// www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/ci/codes/

0,,2076_262707270,00.html). Instructions for using the software are also available here. If you have any questions regarding, please contact the Customer Support Division of Pioneer.
