HDMI Control

Chapter 9:

HDMI Control

Important

The KURO LINK function name used on the web and in catalogues is referred to as HDMI Control in the operating instructions and on the product.

By connecting this receiver to an HDMI Control- compatible Pioneer flat panel TV or the HDD/DVD recorder with an HDMI cable, you can control this receiver from the remote control of a connected flat panel TV, as well as have the connected flat panel TV automatically change inputs in response to operations carried out on this receiver.

Refer to the operating manual for your flat panel TV for more information about which operations can be carried out by connecting via HDMI cable.

You cannot use this function with components that do not support HDMI Control.

We cannot guarantee this receiver will work with HDMI Control-compatible components other than those made by Pioneer.

Making the HDMI Control connections

You can use synchronized operation for a connected flat panel TV and up to three other components.

Be sure to connect the flat panel TV’s audio cable to the audio input of this receiver.

Important

When connecting this system or changing connections, be sure to switch the power off and disconnect the power cord from the wall socket. After completing all connections, connect the power cords to the wall socket.

After connecting this receiver to an AC outlet, a 15 second initialization process begins. You cannot carry out any operations during initialization. The HDMI indicator on the display unit blinks during initialization, and you can turn this receiver on once it has stopped blinking.

To get the most out of this function, we recommend that you connect your HDMI component not to a flat panel TV but rather directly to the HDMI terminal on this receiver.
