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
1
Connect the IR receiver sensor to the IR IN jack on
the rear of this receiver.
2
Connect the IR IN jack of another component to the
IR OUT jack on the rear of this receiver to link it to the
IR receiver.
Please see the manual supplied with your IR receiver for
the type of cable necessary for the connection.
• If you want to link a Pioneer component to the IR
receiver, see
Operating other Pioneer components
with this unit’s sensor
below to connect to the
CONTROL
jacks instead of the
IR OUT
jack.
Operating other Pioneer components
with this unit’s sensor
Many Pioneer components have
SR CONTROL
jacks
which can be used to link components together so that
you can use just the remote sensor of one component.
When you use a remote control, the control signal is
passed along the chain to the appropriate component.
2
Important
• Note that if you use this feature,
make sure that you
also have at least one set of analog audio, video or
HDMI jacks connected
to another component for
grounding purposes.
1
Decide which component you want to use the
remote sensor of.
When you want to control any component in the chain,
this is the remote sensor at which you’ll point the
corresponding remote control.
2
Connect the CONTROL OUT jack of that component
to the CONTROL IN jack of another Pioneer component.
Use a cable with a mono mini-plug on each end for the
connection.
Continue the chain in the same way for as many
components as you have.
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.
• If using two remote controls (at the same time), the IR receiver’s remote sensor takes priority over the remote sensor on the front panel.

Setting the remote to control other components
on
page 103.
• If you have connected a remote control to the
CONTROL IN
jack (using a mini-plug cable), you won’t be able to control this unit using the
remote sensor.
