Changing the Remote Control Mode

The remote control that comes with this receiver is very flexible and can be switched from controlling this receiver to controlling other components, even components not made by Pioneer. You can set up the remote to control so it will be able to control everything in your system and thus you’ll only need to use this remote when operating your home theater system.

The settings to control other components on this remote control are for Pioneer equipment but you can include most other brand makers. You do this by inputting preset codes that have been decided for each brand maker into the remote (see the next page). After these codes are input you’ll be able to operate the equipment.

For this remote, when you press an input button (like DVD) it also changes the remote control from controlling the receiver to controlling DVD functions as well as switching the input to the receiver.

Switching the Operation Mode of the Remote

Press the button for the piece of equipment you want to control with this remote (for example DVD). Since the buttons have different functions when operating different equipment pages 44 & 45 will give you detailed informa- tion on what each button does in each operation mode.

RECEIVER

The TV CONTROL buttons are dedicated to controlling the TV. They will always control the TV no matter what operation mode the remote is in. Of course, you need to input the preset code for your TV (if it is not Pioneer- made) in order to control it with this remote. If, however, you input the code for a similar component (like a satellite TV tuner) for a different button (like the TV/SAT button) the TV CONTROL buttons may take on the controls of that component when in that mode (i.e. when you press the TV/SAT button the TV CONTROL buttons might control your satellite TV tuner, not your TV).
