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 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

Automatic plasma display input switching

In order that the plasma display can switch automatically to the correct input when you switch the input function of the receiver subwoofer, you need to tell it how your system is connected.

For example, if you connected your DVD recorder to the DV1 input on the receiver subwoofer, and to input 2 on your plasma display, select the DV1 PDP2 setting here so that when you switch the input function of the receiver subwoofer to DV1 to watch your DVD recorder, the plasma display will automatically switch to input 2.

For each receiver subwoofer input function (DV1 (DVD/ DVR1), DV2 (DVD/DVR2), DIG (DIGITAL), ANA (ANALOG)) you can select:

NONE – does not switch the plasma display input

PDP1 to PDP5 – switches the plasma display input to one of the numbered inputs (1 to 5)

TVTN – switches the plasma display to its built-in TV tuner

Note

The number of video inputs available will depend on the plasma display you’ve connected.

The PDP5 input may be called ‘PC Input’ (or similar) on your plasma display.

The SR+ setting remains in effect even in standby.

The SR+ setting does not affect the FM/AM tuner function.

Using the SR+ mode with a Pioneer plasma display

1 Press SR+ on the remote.

2 Use

to select SR+ ON then press ENTER.

The SR+ setting is maintained even after switching the receiver subwoofer into standby then back on. Automatic muting and automatic input switching will be effective when the receiver subwoofer is switched on.

If you disconnect the SR+ cable or switch the plasma display off while SR+ is on, the SR+ ON setting remains.

To switch to SR+ OFF, follow steps 1 and 2, selecting SR+ OFF.

Note

You can control this unit with the plasma display’s remote sensor even in standby, but you can’t control this unit with either this unit’s remote sensor or the plasma display’s remote sensor when the plasma display is switched off (AC off) and the SR+ cable is connected to the CONTROL IN jack of this unit.
