Using System off
• From the remote control Home menu press
SYSTEM OFF.
The command sequence you programmed will run, then
all Pioneer components will switch off, followed by this
amplifier.
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 amplifier 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 which trigger(s) using the Expert
Setup menu (see 12 Volt Trigger on page 88 to do this).
Note that this will only work with components that have a
standby mode.
• Connect the 12V TRIGGER jack of this amplifier to
the 12V TRIGGER of another component.
Two connections are possible. Use a cable with a mono
mini-plug on each end for each connection.
After you’ve specified the input functions that will switch
on the trigger(s), you’ll be able to switch the component
on or off just by pressing the input function(s) you’ve set
on page 88.
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.
Note that if you use this feature, make sure that you also
have at least one set of analog audio jacks connected to
another component for grounding purposes.
1 Decide 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.
2 Connect 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.
3 Continue the chain in the same way for as many
components as you have.
Note
• If you want to control all your components using this
amplifier’s remote control, refer to Using the remote
control with other components on page 61 and
Programming signals from other remote controls on
page 63.
