Controlling the rest of your system

Setting the remote to control other components

Most components can be assigned to one of the MULTI CONTROL buttons using the component’s manufacturer preset code stored in the remote.

However, please note that there are cases where only certain functions may be controllable after assigning the proper preset code, or the codes for the manufacturer in the remote control will not work for the model that you are using.

If you can’t find a preset code that matches the component you want to control, you can still teach the remote individual commands from another remote control (page 53).

Note

•TV codes (for example, codes for TV, CATV, Satellite TV or DTV) can only be assigned to the TV/SAT or TV CONT button.

•If you assign the TUNER function to another component, you will have to reassign it to the Pioneer preset code to use this receiver’s built-in tuner.

•You can cancel or exit any of the steps by pressing RECEIVER. To go back a step, press RETURN.

•After one minute of inactivity, the remote automatically exits the operation.
