This receiver

To make the most of the SR+ features, you should connect your source components (DVD player, etc.) in a slightly different way to that described in this chapter. For each component, connect the video output directly to the plasma display, and just connect the audio (analog and/ or digital) to this receiver.

Using the SR+ mode with a Pioneer plasma display

When connected using an SR+ cable, a number of features become available to make using this receiver with your Pioneer plasma display even easier. These features include:

•On-screen displays when making receiver settings, such as speaker setup, MCACC setup, and so on.

•On-screen volume display.

•On-screen display of listening mode.

•Automatic video input switching on the plasma display.

•Automatic volume muting on the plasma display.

See also SR+ Setup for Pioneer plasma displays on page 62 for more on setting up the receiver.

Important

•The additional SR+ features do not work when the iPod function is selected.
