Important

You can’t use the SR+ features when HDMI Control is set to ON. Make sure to set HDMI Control to OFF when you use the SR+ features (page 63).

If you connect to a Pioneer flat screen TV using an SR+ cable, you will need to point the remote control at the flat screen TV remote sensor to control the receiver. In this case, you won’t be able to control the receiver using the remote control if you switch the flat screen TV off.

Before you can use the extra SR+ features, you need to make a few settings in the receiver. See The Input Setup menu on page 65 and SR+ Setup for Pioneer flat screen TVs on page 68 for detailed instructions.

Note

1The 3-ringed SR+ cable from Pioneer is commercially available under the part number ADE7095. Contact the Pioneer Customer Support division for more information on obtaining an SR+ cable (you can also use a commercially available 3-ringed mini phone plug for the connection).

2This receiver is compatible with all SR+ equipped Pioneer flat screen TVs from 2003 onward.
