Important

•You can’t use the SR+ features when HDMI Control is set to ON. Make sure to set HDMI Control to OFF when you use the SR+ features (page 63).

•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 Setup menu on page 64 and SR+ Setup for Pioneer plasma displays on page 66 for detailed instructions.

•Use a 3-ringed miniplug SR+ cable to connect the CONTROL IN jack of this receiver with the CONTROL OUT jack of your plasma display.

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 66 for more on setting up the receiver.

Important

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.

1Make sure that the plasma display and this receiver are switched on and that they are connected with the SR+ cable.

See Using this receiver with a Pioneer plasma display above for more on connecting these components.

•Make sure you have also selected the display input to which you’ve connected the receiver in The Input Setup menu on page 64.

2To switch SR+ mode on/off, press RECEIVER, then the SR+ button.

The front panel display shows SR+ ON or SR+ OFF.

•The automatic video input switching and the automatic volume muting features are enabled separately; see SR+ Setup for Pioneer plasma displays on page 66.
