•Press SYSTEM OFF.

The command sequence you programmed will run, then all Pioneer components will switch off, followed by this receiver.

Switching components on and off using the 12 volt trigger

You can connect components in your system (such as a screen or projector) to this receiver so that they switch on or off using a 12 volt trigger when you select an input function. However, you must specify which input functions switch on the trigger using the System Setup menu (see 12 Volt Trigger on page 85 to do this). Note that this will only work with components that have a standby mode.

Operating other Pioneer components with this unit’s sensor

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.

Important

•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.

1Decide which component you want to use the remote sensor of.

When you want to control any component in the chain, this is the remote sensor at which you’ll point the corresponding remote control.

2Connect the CONTROL OUT jack of that component to the CONTROL IN jack of another Pioneer component.

Use a cable with a mono mini-plug on each end for the connection.
