1Press the MULTI ROOM ON/OFF button on the front panel.

The MULTI-ROOMindicator lights in the front panel display to indicate the multi-room control has been switched on.

2Press CONTROL.

Make sure that any operations for the sub room are done while MR: (and the selected component) shows in the display. If this is not showing, the front panel controls affect the main room only.

3Use the MULTI JOG dial to select the source. Select between DVD/LD, TV/SAT, DVR/VCR, TUNER, CD-R/TAPE/MD or CD (in that order).

If you select TUNER, you can use the remote control to select a preset station (see Listening to station presets on page 48 if you’re unsure how to do this).

4Use the MASTER VOLUME dial to adjust the volume.

This is only possible if you selected the VARIABLE volume control in Multi Room Setup on page 67.

You can only increase the volume to 0dB.

5When you’re finished, press CONTROL again to return to the main room controls.

You can also press the MULTI ROOM ON/OFF button on the front panel to switch off all output to the sub room.

Even if you don’t press CONTROL above, the system automatically switches back to the main room controls.

Note

Multi-room can’t be used when you’re setting up the system (from the on-screen System Setup menu).

You won’t be able to switch the main room off completely unless you’ve switched off the multi-room control first.

When the multi-room feature is switched on, you can also change the sub room input source with the front panel MULTI JOG dial, even when the main unit is in standby.

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

The tuner cannot be tuned to more than one station at a time. Therefore, changing the station in one room also changes the station in the other room. Please be careful not to change stations when recording a radio broadcast.

The volume levels of the main and sub rooms are independent.

When the MULTI ROOM OUT jacks are connected to a sub room amplifier with a remote sensor and Pioneer CONTROL terminals (page 22), both the IR receiver and the amplifier may receive remote control commands (making correct operation impossible) during multi-room operation. In this case, place the IR receiver and amplifier apart from each other, and point the remote control directly at the IR receiver during operation.

If you don’t plan to use the multi-room feature for awhile, turn off the power in both the sub and main rooms. Make sure the MULTI-ROOMindicator goes off.

The sleep timer affects the sub room when the multi- room feature is on.
