Operating instructions

Operating multiple receivers
Up to four receivers can be operated discretely
using this receiver’s remote control when using
multiple receivers, provided they are of the
same model as this receiver. The receiver to be
operated is switched by inputting the preset
code to set the remote control setting.
! Set the remote modes on the receivers before
using this function (see Remote Control Mode
Setup on page 66 ).
1 Press and hold RCU SETUP, then press
‘4’ for three seconds.
Release the button after the LED flashes once.
The LED continues to flash.
! To cancel the preset setup mode press
RCU SETUP.
2 Press the number button for the
receiver (“Receiver 1” to “Receiver 4”) you
wish to operate.
For example, to operate “Receiver 2”, press ‘2’.
If the LED lights for one second and continues
to flash, the setting has been successfully
completed.
When the preset code is input, the LED flashes
three times to indicate that the setting has
failed.
Setting the remote to control
other components
Most components can be assigned to one of
the input function buttons (such as DVD or CD)
using the component’s manufacturer preset
code stored in the remote.
However, there are cases where only certain
functions may be controllable after assigning
the proper preset code, or the codes for the
manufacturer in the remote control will not
work for the model that you are using.
If you can’t find a preset code that matches the
component you want to control, you can still
teach the remote individual commands from
another remote control (see Programming sig-
nals from other remote controls on page 51 ).
! For greater convenience, assign the TV
connected to the MONITOR OUT terminal to
the TV CTRL button, and assign your satellite/
cable receiver or set-top box connected to the
TV/SAT input terminal to the TV/SAT input
button. If a single device is connected to both
terminals, that device should be assigned to
both the TV CTRL and TV/SAT input buttons.
! Devices may be assigned to the following
input function buttons.

About the Remote Setup menu
The Remote Setup mode is set by pressing the
number button while pressing RCU SETUP. The
different items on the Remote Setup menu are
described below. For their setting procedures,
refer to the explanations for the respective
items.
Setting What it does
Preset
recall
Preset codes can be set for the various
input functions. The remote control
codes of a number of other devices
(including products of other brands)
are preset in the remote control to
allow these devices to be operated.
See Selecting preset codes directly on
page 50 .
Code
learning
If the desired operations cannot be
performed even though you have set
the preset codes, the remote control
signals of other devices can be learned
directly. See Programming signals from
other remote controls on page 51 .
Multi
operation
A series of the remote control opera-
tions for starting listening or viewing
can be programmed. Multiple remote
control codes can be set for the differ-
ent input functions. See Multi Opera-
tion and System Off on page 52 .
System
off
This is a function for automatically
turning off the power of devices con-
nected to the receiver. Multiple remote
control codes can be set, as desired.
See Multi Operation and System Off on
page 52 .
Setting What it does
Direct
function
This is a setting for changing only the
remote control unit’s operation screen,
without changing the receiver’s input,
when the remote control unit’s input
function buttons are pressed. This
is convenient for using the remote
control unit for devices not connected
to the receiver. See Direct function on
page 51 .
Erase
learning
This function is used to erase remote
control codes that have been learned.
Codes learned for the different input
functions can be erased individually.
See Erasing one of the remote control
button settings on page 51 .
Reset
function
This is a function for resetting preset
codes that have been set. Key reset-
ting can be done for individual input
functions. See Erasing all learnt set-
tings that are in one input function on
page 51 .
All reset
This is a function for resetting all
remote control unit settings you have
made to the defaults set upon ship-
ment from the factory. See Resetting
the remote control settings on page 53 .
Change
RC mode
If you have multiple Pioneer receivers,
amplifiers, etc., this setting can be
used to prevent other units from oper-
ating simultaneously when the remote
control unit is operated. See Operating
multiple receivers on page 50 .
Note
! You can cancel or exit any of the steps by
pressing RCU SETUP.
! After one minute of inactivity, the remote
automatically exits the operation.
