Controlling the rest of your system

Operating other Pioneer components

Many Pioneer components have SR CONTROL jacks which can be used to link components together so that you can use just the remote sensor of one component. When you use a remote control, the control signal is passed along the chain to the appropriate

component.1

Note that if you use this feature, make sure that you also have at least one set of analog audio or video jacks connected to another component for grounding purposes.

Setting the remote to control other components

Most components can be assigned to one of the MULTI CONTROL buttons using the component’s manufacturer preset code stored in the remote.

However, please note that there are cases where only certain functions may be controllable after assigning the proper preset code, or the codes for the manufacturer in the remote control will not work for the model that

you are using.2

Note

1• If you want to control all your components using this receiver’s remote control, refer to Controlling the rest of your system on page 50.

•If you have connected a remote control to the CONTROL IN jack (using a mini-plug cable), you won't be able to control this unit using the remote sensor.

2• TV codes (for example, codes for TV, CATV or Satellite TV) can only be assigned to the TV/SAT or TV CTRL button.

•If you assign the AM or FM function to another component, you will have to reassign it to the Pioneer preset code to use this receiver’s built-in tuner.
