Using Other Functions

Multi Operations

Multi operations allow you to tell the receiver and your other components to do a number of things with the push of just two buttons on the remote control. For example, you can program the unit to turn on your TV, turn on your DVD player, go into a specific sound mode and start playing the loaded DVD. This feature allows you to decide which operations you want performed as well as the order in which you want them performed.

The steps below show you how to program a string of up to 5 different operations based on eight possible components. You don’t need to program the power of this unit, or any PIONEER product, to go on, it/they will do so automatically when the MULTI OPERATION function is used. Also, for some DVD players you won’t need to program a play command. Most DVDs will stsrt to play automatically if their power goes on and a DVD is loaded.

Be sure to recall or teach the remote control commands for each component before attempting multi operations (see “Setting Up the Remote Control to Control Other Components,” p. 50).
