10Controlling the rest of your system

Direct function

!Default setting: On

You can use the direct function feature to control one component using the remote control while at the same time, using your receiver to playback a different component. This could let you, for example, use the remote control to set up and listen to a CD on the receiver, and then use the remote control to rewind a tape in your VCR while you continue to listen to your CD player.

When direct function is on, any component you select (using the input function buttons) will be selected by both the receiver and the remote control. When you turn direct function off, you can operate the remote control without affecting the receiver.

1 Press and hold RCU SETUP, then press

‘5’ for three seconds.

Release the button after the LED flashes once.

The LED continues to flash.

Multi Operation and System Off

The Multi operation feature allows you to program a series of up to 5 commands for the components in your system.

!Be sure to call up the preset codes of devices

or perform programming signals for other remote controls before multi operation memory programming (page 53).

The Multi operation feature makes it easy to perform the following operations by pressing just two buttons.

Press MULTI OPERATION and then the DVD input function button to:

1.

Switch this receiver on.

2.

Switch this receiver’s input to DVD.

3.

Transmit a sequence of up to five pro-

grammed commands.

Similar to Multi operations, System off allows

you to use two buttons to stop and switch off

a series of components in your system at the

Note

!Before Multi operation and System off will work correctly, you must setup the remote to work with your TV and other components (see Setting the remote to control other components on page 52 for more on this).

!Some units may take some time to power up, in which case multiple operations may not be possible.

!Power on and off commands only work with components that have a standby mode.

!Some remote controllers for other manufacturers’ devices use the same signals for switching the power on and off. In some cases, even if this receiver is programmed to perform these commands, power to the non- Pioneer devices may not be switched on and off correctly. Program the receiver to perform these commands if the non-Pioneer device uses separate signals for power on/off.

3If necessary, press the input function button for the component whose command you want to input.

This is only necessary if the command is for a new component (input function).

4Select the button for the command you want to input.

The LED blinks once and flashes continuously.

!You don’t need to program the receiver to

switch on or off. This is done automatically. With Pioneer components, you don’t need to program the power to switch off in a shutdown sequence (except DVD recorders).

5Repeat steps 3 to 4 to program a sequence of up to five commands.

If you press RCU SETUP before programming is completed, commands programmed up to that point will be stored.

6Press RCU SETUP to exit the programming mode.

Press the input function button for the

component you want to control.

Press ‘1’ (On) or ‘0’ (Off) to switch the

direct function mode.

If the LED lights for one second and continues

to flash, the setting has been successfully

completed.

If the LED flashes three times, the setting has

failed.

same time. Only one System off operation

sequence may be programmed.

Press MULTI OPERATION and then uSOURCE

to:

1. Transmit a sequence of up to five pro-

grammed commands.

2. Switch off all Pioneer devices including the

receiver (except DVD recorders and VCRs).

For greater convenience, program this receiver

to perform power on/off and playback opera-

tions on non-Pioneer devices as well. (The

signals for Pioneer devices described above

are not contingent on programming for non-

Pioneer devices.)

The buttons that can be programmed using

Multi operation or System off are the same but-

tons as those that can be programmed for other

remote controls (see Programming signals from

other remote controls on page 53 ).

For Multi operations, press the input function you wish to program (for example, if you want to start the sequence by switching on your DVD player, press DVD).

!With Multi operation, the HDMI and TV CTRL settings cannot be made. For other settable input functions, see Setting the remote to

control other components on page 52 . For System off, press the uSOURCE button. The LED blinks twice and flashes continuously.

Using multi operations

1 Press MULTI OPERATION.

Release the button after the LED flashes once. The LED continues to flash.
