Connecting an IR receiver
If you keep your stereo components in a closed
cabinet or shelving unit, or you wish to use the
sub zone remote control in another zone, you
can use an optional IR receiver (such as a Niles
or Xantech unit) to control your system instead
of the remote sensor on the front panel of this
receiver.
1
1 Connect the IR receiver sensor to the
IR IN
jack on the rear of this receiver.
2 Connect the
IR IN
jack of another
component to the
IR OUT
jack on the rear of
this receiver to link it to the IR receiver.
Please see the manual supplied with your IR
receiver for the type of cable necessary for the
connection.
• If you want to link a Pioneer component to
the IR receiver, see Operating other Pioneer
components with this unit’s sensor below
to connect to the CONTROL jacks instead
of the IR OUT jack.
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.

Important
• Note that if you use this feature,
make sure
that you also have at least one set of analog
audio, video or HDMI 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.
Note
1 • Remote operation may not be possible if direct light from a strong fluorescent lamp is shining on the IR receiver
remote sensor window.
• Note that other manufacturers may not use the IR terminology. Refer to the manual that came with your component
to check for IR compatibility.
• If using two remote controls (at the same time), the IR receiver’s remote sensor takes priority over the remote sensor
on the front panel.

other components on page 73.
