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

 

Connect the IR receiver sensor to the IR IN 

jack on the rear of this receiver.

For more information on connecting the IR 
receiver, see the Installation Instructions for 
the IR Receiver.

Plugging in the receiver

Only plug in after you have connected all your 
components to this receiver, including the 
speakers.

 CAUTION

• Handle the power cord by the plug part. Do 

not pull out the plug by tugging the cord, 
and never touch the power cord when your 
hands are wet, as this could cause a short 
circuit or electric shock. Do not place the 
unit, a piece of furniture, or other object on 
the power cord or pinch the cord in any 
other way. Never make a knot in the cord or 
tie it with other cables. The power cords 
should be routed so that they are not likely 
to be stepped on. A damaged power cord 
can cause a fire or give you an electric 
shock. Check the power cord once in a 
while. If you find it damaged, ask your 
nearest Pioneer authorized independent 
service company for a replacement.

• Do not use any power cord other than the 

one supplied with this unit.

• Do not use the supplied power cord for any 

purpose other than that described below.

• The receiver should be disconnected by 

removing the mains plug from the wall 
socket when not in regular use, e.g., when 
on vacation.

1

Plug the supplied power cord into the AC 

IN socket on the back of the receiver.

2

Plug the other end into a power outlet.

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.
