Operating other Pioneer components with this unit’s sensor

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.

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

1Connect the CONTROL OUT of this receiver to the CONTROL IN jack of another Pioneer component.

•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.
