while you continue to listen to your CD player.

About the ALL ZONE STBY (All Zone Standby) and DISCRETE ON
(Discrete On) functions
ALL ZONE STBY (All Zone Standby)
The All Zone Standby can be used to turn all zones to OFF when the receiver’s power is switched to standby.
Also, when using separate Pioneer amplifiers/receivers for the sub zones, they can also be set to standby
simultaneously.
!
In order to set the power of amplifiers/receivers connected to sub zones to the standby mode, the connected
amplifiers/receivers must be installed or connected in such a way that they can receive remote control signals.
!
The power of the amplifiers/receivers can be switched to standby with this operation even when using multiple
Pioneer amplifiers/receivers and their
Remote Control Mode
have been changed.
DISCRETE ON (Discrete On)
The Discrete On function lets you perform a series of operations: switching to the input you want to play while
turning the receiver’s power on.
When the receiver is installed in an AV rack, etc., and you cannot tell whether the power is set to the on or the
standby mode, this operation is handy because it allows you to switch to the selected input without switching the
receiver’s power to standby, even if the power is on when the operation is performed.
Using All Zone Standby
1 Press ALL ZONE STBY DISCRETE ON.
The LED continues to flash.
2 Press
u
STANDBY/ON.
The receiver’s power switches to standby and all zones are turned off.
Using Discrete On
1 Press ALL ZONE STBY DISCRETE ON.
The LED continues to flash.
2 Press an input function button you want to play.
The receiver’s power turns on (if it was already on, it stays on, without turning off), and the input switches to the
input selected here.
