Switching components on and off using the 12 volt trigger

Using this receiver with a Pioneer plasma display

You can connect components in your system (such as a screen or projector) to this receiver so that they switch on or off using 12 volt triggers when you select an input function. However, you must specify which input functions switch on the trigger using the The Input Setup menu on page 61. Note that this will only work with components that have a standby mode.

If you have a Pioneer plasma display, you can use an

SR+ cable1 to connect it to this unit and take advantage of various convenient features, such as automatic video input switching of the plasma display when the input is

changed.2

Important

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• If you connect to a Pioneer plasma display using an SR+ cable, you will need to point the remote control at the plasma display remote sensor to control the receiver. In this case, you won’t be able to control the receiver using the remote control if you switch the plasma display off.

• Before you can use the extra SR+ features, you need to make a few settings in the receiver. See The Input Setup menu on page 61 and SR+ Setup for Pioneer plasma displays on page 63 for detailed instructions.

Note

1The 3-ringed SR+ cable from Pioneer is commercially available under the part number ADE7095. Contact the Pioneer Customer Support division for more information on obtaining an SR+ cable (you can also use a commercially available 3-ringed mini phone plug for the connection).

2This receiver is compatible with all SR+ equipped Pioneer plasma displays from 2003 onward.
