Remote control
Symptom
Remedy
Cannot be remote controlled.
Set the remote control unit’s remote control mode so that it matches the set-
ting on the main unit (see
Operating multiple receivers
on page 56 ).
Check whether the receiver’s remote control mode is properly set (see
Remote
Control Mode Setup
on page 74 ).
Try replacing the batteries in the remote control (see
Loading the batteries
on
page 6 ).
Be sure to operate within 7 m (23 ft.) and a 30º angle of the remote sensor on
the front panel (see
Operating range of remote control unit
on page 7 ).
Check that there are no obstacles between the receiver and the remote con-
trol.
Make sure that there is no fluorescent or other strong light shining on to the
remote sensor.
Check the connections of the
CONTROL IN
jacks (see
Operating other Pioneer
components with this unit’s sensor
on page 24 ).
Other components can’t be
operated with the system
remote.
If the battery ran down, the preset codes may have been cleared. Re-enter the
preset codes.
The preset code may be incorrect. Redo the procedure for entering preset
codes.
When commands from the remote control units of other devices are regis-
tered using the learning function, in some cases they may not be learned
properly. In this case, register the commands again using the learning func-
tion (see page 57). If they still do not work, they may be in a special format that
cannot be registered on this receiver’s remote control. Operate the device
using another remote control.

curves do not seem to have
been calibrated for
SMALL
speakers.
Low frequencies used in bass management (the subwoofer channel) will not
change for speakers that have been specified as

Calibration is performed, but due to your speakers’ low frequency limitations,
no measurable sound is output for display.
