standby.

• 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 the

MULTI ROOM OUT

jacks are connected to

a sub room amplifier with a remote sensor and
Pioneer

CONTROL

terminals (page 22), both the IR

receiver and the amplifier may receive remote control
commands (making correct operation impossible)
during multi-room operation. 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 don’t plan to use the multi-room feature for

awhile, turn off the power in both the sub and main
rooms. Make sure the

indicator goes

off.
