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 on page 66.

Using this receiver with a Pioneer plasma display

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

IR 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 81 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 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 66. Note that this will only work with components that have a standby mode.
