Controlling the Rest of Your System
Changing the Remote Control Mode
The remote control that comes with this receiver is very flexible and can be switched from controlling this receiver to
controlling other components, even components not made by Pioneer. You can set up the remote to control so it will
be able to control everything in your system and thus you’ll only need to use this remote when operating your home
theater system.
The settings to control other components on this remote control are for Pioneer equipment but you can include most
other brand makers. You do this by inputting preset codes that have been decided for each brand maker into the
remote (see the next page). After these codes are input you’ll be able to operate the equipment.
For this remote, when you press an input button (like DVD) it also changes the remote control from controlling the
receiver to controlling DVD functions as well as switching the input to the receiver.
Switching the Operation Mode of the Remote
Press the button for the piece of equipment you want to control with this remote (for example DVD). Since the
buttons have different functions when operating different equipment pages 46 &47 will give you detailed information
on what each button does in each operation mode.
Press the button of the component you want to use this remote to
operate. This will both change the input into the receiver and the
remote control operation mode.
The factory settings for all Input/Control Mode Select buttons are
explained here. All the settiings are all for Pioneer components but
you can change this.
DVD: DVD player
TV/SAT: TV
DVR/VCR: DVD recorder
FM/AM: the built-in radio tuner
FRONT: VCR
TV: TV
(For a detailed chart of the factory settings see “Clearing the Preset
Codes” on page 48)
• The TV CONTROL buttons are dedicated to controlling the TV. They will always control the TV no matter what
operation mode the remote is in. Of course, you need to input the preset code for your TV (if it is not Pioneer-
made) in order to control it with this remote. If, however, you input the code for a similar component (like a
satellite TV tuner) for a different button (like the TV/SAT button) the TV CONTROL buttons may take on the
controls of that component when in that mode (i.e. when you press the TV/SAT button the TV CONTROL buttons
might control your satellite TV tuner, not your TV).
