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 82 to connect to the CONTROL jacks instead of the IR OUT jack.

Connecting an IR receiver

If you keep your stereo components in a closed cabinet or shelving unit, or you wish to use the sub zone remote control in another zone, you can use an optional IR receiver (such as a Niles or Xantech unit) to control your system instead of the remote sensor on the front panel of

this receiver.3

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 67. Note that this will only work with components that have a standby mode.

Note

1The volume levels of the main and sub zones are independent.

2• You won’t be able to switch the main zone off completely unless you’ve switched off the MULTI-ZONE control first.

•If you don’t plan to use the MULTI-ZONE feature for awhile, turn off the power in both the sub and main rooms so that this receiver is in standby.

3• Remote operation may not be possible if direct light from a strong fluorescent lamp is shining on the IR receiver remote sensor window.

•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.
