Using centralized control with other
Pioneer components
Multiple Pioneer components equipped with CONTROL
IN/OUT jacks can be connected to the unit, allowing
centralized control of the components via the remote
sensor on the unit. This also allows remote control of
components not equipped with a remote sensor, or
installed in places where the component's remote
sensor cannot be accessed.

Note
• For connections use a commercially available
monaural miniplug cord (without resistor).
• When connecting the CONTROL IN/OUT jacks,
commercially available audio cords must also be
used to make analog connections. Merely
connecting the CONTROL IN/OUT jacks alone will
not allow proper system control.
• When a control cord is connected to the unit's
CONTROL IN jack, the unit cannot be controlled by
pointing the remote control at the unit (the remote
sensor is automatically disabled).
Plugging in
Important
• When going on a trip or otherwise not using the
unit for an extended period, always disconnect the
power cord from its outlet. Note that various
internal settings will not be lost even if the power
cord is disconnected from its outlet for an extended
time.
• If it is necessary to detach the power cord, first be
sure to press the /I STANDBY/ON button on the
front panel of the unit so the unit is turned OFF
before detaching the cord.
Caution
• The use of a power cord other than the one provided
will invalidate the warranty, since Pioneer will not
be responsible for any damage incurred. (The
power cord provided with the unit has a rated
current capacity of 10 A.)
• Do not use any power cord other than the one
supplied with this unit.
• Do not use the supplied power cord for any purpose
other than that described below.
After you've finished making all connections, plug the
unit into an AC outlet.
