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

The MULTI ROOM indicator lights on the front panel to indicate the multi-room control has been switched on.

2Press CONTROL.

Make sure that any operations for the sub room are done while MULTI ROOM shows in the display. If MULTI ROOM is not showing, the front panel controls affect the main room only.

3Use the INPUT SELECTOR dial to select the source. Select between DVD/LD, TV/DVD, SAT, DVR/VCR 1, CD, CD-R/TAPE 1 or TUNER (in that order).

If you select TUNER, you can use the front panel TUNER controls to select a preset station (see Listening to memorized station presets on page 56 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 Setting on page 95.

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

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

Note

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

If you’re using a Pioneer amplifier in the sub room, you may want to cover the remote sensor so that this remote control doesn’t accidently control the sub room amplifier.

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

When someone is controlling the system from the main room, you won’t be able to operate the sub room controls.

Using the i.LINK interface

If you have a component with an i.LINK connector, you can connect it to this receiver using an i.LINK cable.

Since the i.LINK interface does not transmit video signals, the video signal of i.LINK-connected compo- nents must be connected with other cables (see Connecting your equipment on page 14 for more on making video connections). If you’ve already hooked up the video signal from the component, assign the i.LINK input to the input function to which you’ve connected the video signals (see Assigning the i.LINK inputs on page 91).

The two i.LINK connectors on the rear of your receiver are 4-pin connectors. Use a 4-pin, S400 i.LINK cable to connect i.LINK-equipped components.

Important

Please use 4-pin, S400 cables less than 3.5 meters long. Although longer ones are available, they may not work reliably.

If your i.LINK connector comes into contact with metallic parts of the receiver other than the i.LINK terminal, an electrical short may occur. Some cables have metal parts that may touch the unit when connected. Please take care to use a suitable i.LINK cable only.

There may be cases where the PQLS/rate control function and/or the i.LINK audio does not work prop- erly even when connected to i.LINK Audio-compat- ible equipment.

During playback through an i.LINK connection, do not disconnect i.LINK cables or switch off any components connected using i.LINK.

Copy-protected 96kHz DVD-Video discs can be heard through the i.LINK connection, but they will be down- sampled to 48kHz.
