•You can use the additional amplifier on the surround back channel pre-outs for a single speaker as well. In this case plug the amplifier into the left (L (Single)) terminal only.

•The sound from the surround back terminals will depend on how you have configured the Surround back speaker setting on page 35.

•To hear sound only from the pre-outs, switch the speaker system to OFF, or simply disconnect any speakers that are connected directly to the receiver.

•If you’re not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see Speaker Setting on page 40) to

LARGE.

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 Assign menu on page 52 and SR+ Setup for Pioneer plasma displays on page 54 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.
