Multi-room listening
When used together with an optional IR receiver (such as
a Niles or Xantech unit), this receiver can power two
independent systems in separate rooms. Different
sources can be playing in both rooms at the same time
or, depending on your needs, the same source can also
be used. The main and sub rooms have 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. You may need to specify your
volume setting and IR receiver type in
Multi Room Setup
on page 67.
Making multi-room connections
It is possible to make these connections if you have a
separate amplifier, TV, speakers, and an IR receiver for
your sub room.
1 Connect the IR receiver sensor to the MULTI-
ROOM & SOURCE IR IN jack on the rear of this
receiver.
2 Connect a separate amplifier to the MULTI-
ROOM & SOURCE OUT jacks and a TV monitor to the
MULTI-ROOM & SOURCE MONITOR OUT jacks, both
on the rear of this receiver.
You should have a pair of speakers attached to the sub
room amplifier as shown in the illustration below.
Note
• Even if you don’t have an IR receiver, you can make
multi-room connections and use the front panel to
control the sub room.
• It is not possible to hear the digital output of a
component in the sub room. However, you can
connect the analog outputs of your digital
component into the receiver’s (analog) input
terminals to hear the component in the sub room.
• Since the video converter is not enabled for multi-
room connections, you’ll have to connect any video
input source you want to watch in the sub room using
standard RCA video cords.
• You can't use sound controls (such as the tone
controls or Midnight listening) or any surround
modes in the sub room. You can, however, use the
features available with your sub room amplifier.
Using the sub room controls
You can use the remote to adjust the sub room volume
and select sources from either the main room or the sub
room. You can also do this using the front panel controls.
Important
• The receiver must be switched on (or in standby) in
the main room to control the sub room.
• When someone is controlling the system from the
main room you won't be able to control the sub room
with the remote control.
• If you are using a Pioneer amplifier in the sub room,
cover up the remote sensor to avoid changing the
settings when controlling the sub room.
Using the remote control in the sub room
When controlling the sub room, make sure to hold down
SHIFT while pressing the remote control buttons below.
1 Point the remote control at the IR receiver and
press RECEIVER.
This switches on the multi-room feature.
