Operating other Pioneer Components with this Unit’s Sensor

By connecting a control cord to the CONTROL terminals of the respective equipment, you can control several Pioneer components using one remote sensor. Following the diagram below you will see that one component feeds the CONTROL OUT terminal and on the other end another component is connected to the CONTROL IN terminal. The component that is the end point (the one that has a cord hooked up to its CONTROL OUT only) it is the component whose sensor you will use. Point the remote control at that sensor when you want operate the any of the equipment connected by this system. In the example below you would point the remote control unit towards the remote sensor of the equipment on the left.

MEMO:

You can also control Pioneer components by pointing the receiver's remote control directly at the component. This type of operation does not require control cords. See page 41 for more information.

To use this kind of remote control you have to hook up a control cord AND the have the component and receiver hooked up with analog RCA audio/video cords as well (see page 11-13).
