Controlling other equipment

Using the remote control with other components

The supplied remote control can operate not only this receiver, but also your TV, DVD player and other components. If the component is listed in the remote control's memory, you can simply follow the steps in Recalling preset codes below. If the component is not listed, or if you want the remote to learn additional operations, see Programming signals from other remote controls on page 59.

See Preset code brands on page 105 for a list of brands available for each component.

Note

•You can cancel or exit any of the following steps by pressing REMOTE SETUP.

•After one minute of inactivity, the remote goes to sleep. Press any button to reactivate the remote display and continue.

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

•The default preset setting for all functions is a corre- sponding Pioneer component. Note that where two buttons are listed, the first component is the default (for example, MD/TAPE2 is an MD), and the VIDEO button is set to a Pioneer DVD player.

Recalling preset codes

The following steps show you how to recall preset codes for each input source. Use the remote control to do this.

REMOTE

SETUP

1Make sure the component you want to control is switched on.

2Press and hold REMOTE SETUP for three seconds. The REMOTE SETUP menu appears in the remote control display.

3 Use (cursor up/down) to select ‘Preset’ from the menu and press ENTER.

Select Function flashes in the display.

4Press the MULTI CONTROL button that matches the connection for the component you want to control.

For example, press DVD/LD if you want to control the DVD player that you connected to the DVD/LD terminals.

•Choosing a button that’s already assigned will over- write the old preset (and any other operations you may have programmed).

•You can’t assign the RECEIVER or TUNER buttons.

5 Use (cursor up/down) to choose the type of component you’ve connected and press ENTER.

Following our example above, you would select DVD, but you should choose from the ITEM list according to the component connected. For example, if you connected a DVD recorder instead of a VCR to the VCR2 inputs, you would select DVR here.

6 Use (cursor up/down) to select the manufac- turer’s name from the list.

If there is more than one component type for the manufacturer, then –1, –2, etc. will appear in the display. Start with the first one in the list.

7Point the remote at the component you want to control and press ENTER.

OK? shows in the remote control display.

If the component switches off (into standby), use (cursor up/down) and ENTER to select Yes. COMPLETE shows in the display to confirm that the component preset has been recalled properly.

If the component doesn’t switch off (into standby), use (cursor up/down) and ENTER to select No. Choose

another preset for your manufacturer (step 6).

•If the component you are trying to control doesn’t have a standby mode, simply select Yes above then confirm that it is the right code by testing it with another operation button.

•If you can’t find or properly enter a preset code, you can still teach the remote individual commands from another remote control (see Programming signals from other remote controls below).
