Connecting an IR receiver

If you keep your stereo components in a closed cabinet or shelving unit, you can use an optional IR receiver (such as a Niles or Xantech unit) to control your system instead

of the remote sensor on the front panel of this receiver.1

IR receiver

1Connect the IR receiver sensor to the MULTI-ZONE & SOURCE IR IN jack on the rear of this receiver.

2Connect the IR IN jack of another component to the MULTI-ZONE & SOURCE IR OUT jack on the rear of this receiver to link it to the IR receiver.

Please see the manual supplied with your IR receiver for the type of cable necessary for the connection.

•If you want to link a Pioneer component to the IR receiver, see Operating other Pioneer components with this unit’s sensor on page 65 to connect to the CONTROL jacks instead of the IR OUT jack.

Switching components on and off using the 12 volt trigger

You can connect a component in your system (such as a screen or projector) to this receiver so that it switches on or off using a 12 volt trigger when you select an input function. However, you must specify which input functions switch on the trigger using the 12 Volt Trigger setup on page 58. Note that this will only work with components that have a standby mode.

•Connect the 12 V TRIGGER jack of this receiver to the 12 V trigger of another component.

Use a cable with a mono mini-plug on each end for the connection.

• The trigger maximum power is DC OUT 12 V/50 mA.

After you’ve specified the input functions that will switch on the trigger, you’ll be able to switch the component on or off just by pressing the input function(s) you’ve set in 12 Volt Trigger setup on page 58.

Note

1• Remote operation may not be possible if direct light from a strong fluorescent lamp is shining on the IR receiver remote sensor window.

•Note that other manufacturers may not use the IR terminology. Refer to the manual that came with your component to check for IR compatibility.

•If using two remote controls (at the same time), the IR receiver’s remote sensor takes priority over the remote sensor on the front panel.
