Point the remote control toward the component to be
controlled, enter the 3 digit setup code.

When a three digit code number is input, a power ON/OFF signal is
output from the remote control unit. If the power of the device turns
ON or OFF corresponding to this signal, it indicates that the device has
been set properly. If the power does not turn ON/OFF, input another
code.

Repeat steps 2 through 3 to assign preset codes for as many
components as necessary.

Preparations

Setting Up the Remote Control

In addition to controlling the amplifier, the supplied remote control can operate your other components (DVD, MD, VCR,
TV, LD, CD, etc.). If your component(s) are listed in the “Preset Code List” on page 44, simply recall the corresponding
preset code. This remote control is factory set with the codes used to operate PIONEER components.
If you want to change the preset codes to operate components made by other manufacturers, follow the procedure
outlined below.

Recalling preset codes

The following steps show you how to recall preset codes for each MULTI CONTROL button. Once the preset code is
assigned, pressing the button will automatically set the remote to operate the respective component.

• Refer to “Preset Code List” on page 44 for the components and manufacturers available.
• Refer to “Remote Controlling Other Components” on pages 35 to 40 and “Background Control of Other

Components” on page 41 for detailed explanations on how to operate your other components.
