Multi-room remote controls
The following table shows the possible multi-room
remote controls:
Connecting an IR receiver
If you keep your stereo components in a closed cabinet or
shelving unit, 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.
4
You may need to specify your IR receiver type in
Multi-
Room and IR receiver setup
on page 59.
1
Connect the IR receiver sensor to the MULTI-ROOM
& SOURCE IR IN jack on the rear of this receiver.
2
Connect the IR IN jack of another component to the
MULTI-ROOM & SOURCE 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
on page 70 to connect to the
CONTROL
jacks instead of the
IR OUT
jack.
Note
1 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.
2 The volume levels of the main and sub room are independent.
3 • You won’t be able to switch the main room off completely unless you’ve switched off the multi-room control first.
• If you don’t plan to use the multi-room feature for awhile, turn off the power in both the main and sub room so that this receiver is in standby.

• 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.
