Operating other Pioneer components

VSX-918V model only

Many Pioneer components have SR CONTROL jacks which can be used to link components together so that you can use just the remote sensor of one component. When you use a remote control, the control signal is passed along the chain to the appropriate component.1

Note that if you use this feature, make sure that you also have at least one set of analog audio or video jacks connected to another component for grounding purposes.
