HDMI Control

By connecting this receiver to an HDMI Control- compatible Pioneer plasma display or the HDD/DVD recorder with an HDMI cable, you can control this receiver from the remote control of a connected plasma display, as well as have the connected plasma display automatically change inputs in response to operations carried out on this unit.

Refer to the operating manual for your plasma display for more information about which operations can be carried out by connecting via HDMI cable.

•You cannot use this function with components that do not support HDMI Control.

•We cannot guarantee this unit will work with HDMI Control-compatible components other than those made by Pioneer.

Making the HDMI Control connections

You can use synchronized operation for a connected plasma display and up to four other components (including a maximum of two recorders or players).

Be sure to connect the plasma display’s audio cable to the audio input of this unit.

Important

•When connecting this system or changing connections, be sure to switch the power off and disconnect the power cord from the wall socket. After completing all connections, connect the power cords to the wall socket.

•After connecting this receiver to an AC outlet, a 15 second initialization process begins. You cannot carry out any operations during initialization. The HDMI indicator on the display unit blinks during initialization, and you can turn this receiver on once it has stopped blinking.

•To get the most out of this function, we recommend that you connect your HDMI component not to a plasma display but rather directly to the HDMI terminal on this receiver.
