• Use a 3-ringed miniplug SR+ cable

1

to

connect the

CONTROL IN

jack of this receiver

with the

CONTROL OUT

of your plasma

display.

Before you can use the extra SR+ features, you

need to make a few settings in the receiver. See

SR+ Setup for Pioneer plasma displays

on

page 60 for detailed instructions.

To make the most of the SR+ features, you

should connect your source components (DVD

player, etc.) in a slightly different way to that

described in this chapter. For each

component, connect the video output directly

to the plasma display, and just connect the

audio (analog and/or digital) to this receiver.

Using the SR+ mode with a Pioneer plasma display

When connected using an SR+ cable, a

number of features become available to make

using this receiver with your Pioneer plasma

display even easier. These features include:

• On-screen volume display.

• On-screen display of listening mode.

• Automatic video input switching on the

plasma display.

• Automatic volume muting on the plasma

display.

tomer Support division for more information on obtaining an SR+ cable (you can also use a commercially available 3-ringed

mini phone plug for the connection).

• If you connect to a Pioneer plasma display using an SR+ cable, you will need to point the remote control at the plasma dis-

play remote sensor to control the receiver. In this case, you won’t be able to control the receiver using the remote control if you

switch the plasma display off.
