Operating other Pioneer components with this unit’s sensor

Many Pioneer components have 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.

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 that you will point the remote control at.

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.

3Continue the chain in the same way for as many components as you have.

•You can also set up the supplied remote to control other components in your system (both Pioneer and non-Pioneer). See Using the remote control with other components on page 34 for how to do this.

Plugging in the receiver

Only plug in after you have connected all your components, including the speakers.

•Handle the power cable by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cable and never touch the power cable when your hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit or a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cable, or pinch the cable. Never make a knot in the cable or tie it with other cables. The power cables should be routed such that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cable can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check the power cable once in a while. When you find it damaged, ask your nearest Pioneer authorized service center or your dealer for a replacement.

1Plug the supplied power cable into the AC IN socket on the back of the receiver.

2Plug the other end into a power outlet.
