Pioneer VSX-37TX - Manual (Page 78)

Using Other Functions
Multi-Room
When used together with an optional IR receiver, this receiver is capable of outputting two different sources at
the same time. One to the (main) MONITOR OUT jack and SPEAKERS terminals and another to the MULTI
ROOM & SOURCE AUDIO and MONITOR OUT jacks. Thus the VSX-37TX/36TX can power two independent
systems, in separate rooms, listening to or watching different sources. With this system the two rooms can
have completely independent power (the main room power can be off while the sub room is on) and the sub
room can be controlled by this unit's remote control. If you go into the main room to change the source but
forget the remote control it's not a problem. While in MULTI ROOM mode the input selector on the front panel
of the VSX-37TX/36TX is able to change the input even though the receiver is off.
MULTI-ROOM connections
On the VSX-37TX/36TX, connect the IR receiver sensor to the MULTI-ROOM & SOURCE REMOTE IN jack,
then connect a separate amplifier (and speakers) and TV monitor to the MULTI-ROOM & SOURCE AUDIO and
MONITOR OUT jacks. All of this equipment should be placed in your sub-room as shown below.
• When connecting the IR receiver, be sure to connect it to the green MULTI-ROOM & SOURCE
REMOTE IN jack, not the black CONTROL IN or OUT jacks.
• It is not possible to input digital signals into the SUB room, you must use analog signals.
• You can't use tone controls (etc.) and any surround modes in the SUB room.
