Important
• If you connect to a Pioneer plasma display using an
SR+ cable, you will need to point the remote control
at the plasma display remote sensor to control the
receiver. In this case, you won’t be able to control the
receiver using the remote control if you switch the
plasma display off.
• Use a 3-ringed miniplug SR+ cable to connect the
CONTROL IN jack of this receiver with the CONTROL
OUT jack of your plasma display.
Before you can use the extra SR+ features, you need to
make a few settings in the receiver. See
SR+ Setup for
Pioneer plasma displays on page 71 for detailed
instructions.
To make the most of the SR+ features, you should
connect your source components (DVD player, etc.) in a
slightly different way to that described in this chapter. For
each component, connect the video output directly to the
plasma display, and just connect the audio (analog and/
or digital) to this receiver.
Note
• This receiver is compatible with all Pioneer plasma
displays from 2003 onward.
• The 3-ringed SR+ cable from Pioneer is commer-
cially available under the part number ADE7095.
Contact the Pioneer Customer Support division for
more information on obtaining an SR+ cable (you
can also use a commercially available 3-ringed mini
phone plug for the connection).
Using the SR+ mode with a Pioneer
plasma display
When connected using an SR+ cable, a number of

such as speaker setup, MCACC setup, and so on.
• On-screen volume display.
• On-screen display of listening mode.
• Automatic video input switching on the plasma

See also SR+ Setup for Pioneer plasma displays on
page 71 for more on setting up the receiver.
1 Make sure that the plasma display and this
receiver are switched on and that they are
connected with the SR+ cable.
See Using this receiver with a Pioneer plasma display
above for more on connecting these components.
2 To switch SR+ mode on/off, press RECEIVER, then
