SET UP OPERATION
OPERATION
You can also control PIONEER components (and those made by other manufacturers) by pointing the
receiver's remote control directly at the respective component. This type of operation does not require
control cords. All you have to do is recall the appropriate preset code (see p. 48).
• If you use a remote control hooked up via the CONTROL IN jack with a control cord, you won't be able to
use this unit's remote control.
memo
The PIONEER SR System: One-touch Operation of Multi-room PIONEER components
Connecting an optional control cord allows you to operate other PIONEER components simply by pointing the
receiver's remote control at the remote sensor on the front panel of the receiver. The receiver then sends the remote
control signals to the other devices via the CONTROL OUT terminal.
The CONTROL connections also allow you to operate the connected PIONEER components from a separate room (SUB
room) when you connect an optional PIONEER MR-100 Multi-Room Remote Control sensor for multi-room operation
(see p. 67).
Remote operation may not be possible if direct light from a strong fluorescent lamp is shining on the IR
receiver remote sensor window.
The tuner cannot be tuned to more than one station at a time. Therefore, changing the station in one room
also changes the station in the other room. Please be careful not to change stations when recording a radio
broadcast.
The volume levels of the main and sub rooms are independent.
When more than one remote control signal is transmitted at the same time, the receiver does not operate.
When operating MULTI-ROOM & SOURCE with the MULTI-ROOM PRE OUT jacks connected to a SUB room
amplifier which bears the PIONEER Î mark and has a remote sensor, both the IR receiver and the amplifier
may receive remote control commands (making correct operation impossible). In this case, place the IR
receiver and amplifier apart from each other, and point the remote control directly at the IR receiver during
operation.
If you plan to leave the MULTI ROOM feature off for a lengthy period please turn off the power in both the
SUB and MAIN rooms. Make sure the STANDBY indicator turns red and the MR&S indicator goes off.
If you send the SYSTEM OFF command from the SUB room by remote control, the power of both rooms
will go off. Please be careful when making a recording in the MAIN room.
