Introductory Information
Special note on the remote control
Please note that the remote control has two types of buttons, one called FUNCTION and a set of buttons called
SOURCE SELECT. Use the FUNCTION button to choose the component you want to listen to (CD, CDR/TAPE,
TUNER, etc.) and use the SOURCE SELECT buttons to change which component the remote control itself will
operate. Thus, if the VSX-409RDS is in TUNER mode, for example, and you want to listen to your CD player, you
need to select the CD mode with the FUNCTION button.
Connect to CONTROL IN
terminal of other Pioneer
products with
Î
mark.

By connecting a control cord (optional), you can
control other Pioneer equipment using this remote
control unit. Point the remote control unit towards
the remote sensor of this unit, even when operating

CAUTION!
Incorrect use of batteries may result in such
hazards as leakage and bursting. Observe
the following precautions:
¶
Never use new and old batteries together.
¶
Insert the plus and minus sides of the
batteries properly according to the marks
in the battery case.
¶
Batteries with the same shape may have
different voltages. Do not use different
batteries together.
The remote control may not work properly if:
¶
There are obstacles between the remote control
and the receiver's remote sensor.
¶
Direct sunlight or fluorescent light is shining onto
the remote sensor.
¶
The receiver is located near a device that is
emitting infrared rays.
¶
The receiver is operated simultaneously with
another infrared remote control unit.
You can also control Pioneer components
by pointing the receiver's remote control
directly at the component. This type of
operation does not require control cords.
