Important

With an SR+ cable connected, the remote must now be pointed towards your plasma display rather than the display unit of the receiver subwoofer in order to control the receiver subwoofer.

Use a 3-ringed miniplug SR+ cable to connect the CONTROL IN jack of this unit to the CONTROL OUT

jack of your plasma display.3

Before you can use the extra SR+ features, you need to make a few settings in the unit — see SR+ Setup for Pioneer plasma displays below.

Automatic plasma display volume muting

When Volume Control is switched on, the volume of the plasma display is automatically muted when the receiver subwoofer is switched on, or the receiver subwoofer’s input function is changed to one that you would want to hear the sound from the receiver subwoofer rather than the plasma display (DVD, for example).

VOL.C ON – When this unit is switched on, or the input function is changed, the volume on the plasma display is muted so only sound from this unit is heard.

VOL.C OFF – This unit does not control the volume of the plasma display

Note

1This system is compatible with all Pioneer plasma displays from 2003 onward.

2The 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.

3You won’t be able to use the remote sensor of this unit with the CONTROL IN jack of this unit connected to the CONTROL OUT jack of your plasma display. You can use the remote sensor of the plasma display (even in standby) as long as the power isn’t switched off.
