Connecting your equipment
Plugging in the receiver
Only plug in after you have connected all your
components to this receiver, including the
speakers.
CAUTION
! Handle the power cord by the plug part. Do
not pull out the plug by tugging the cord, and
never touch the power cord when your hands
are wet, as this could cause a short circuit or
electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of
furniture, or other object on the power cord or
pinch the cord in any other way. Never make
a knot in the cord or tie it with other cables.
The power cords should be routed so that they
are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged
power cord can cause a fire or give you an
electric shock. Check the power cord once in a
while. If you find it damaged, ask your nearest
Pioneer authorized independent service
company for a replacement.
! 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.
! The receiver should be disconnected by
removing the mains plug from the wall
socket when not in regular use, e.g., when on
vacation.
1 Plug the supplied power cord into the
AC IN socket on the back of the receiver.
2 Plug the other end into a power outlet.
! After this receiver is connected to an AC
outlet, a 2 second to 10 second HDMI
initialization process begins. You cannot
carry out any operations during this process.
The HDMI indicator in the front panel display
blinks during this process, and you can turn
on this receiver once it has stopped blinking.
When you set the Control with HDMI to OFF,
you can skip this process. For details about
the Control with HDMI feature, see Control
with HDMI function on page 41 .

2 Connect the IR IN jack of another
component to the IR OUT jack on the rear
of this receiver to link it to the IR receiver.
Please see the manual supplied with your IR
receiver for the type of cable necessary for the
connection.
! If you want to link a Pioneer component to
the IR receiver, see Operating other Pioneer
components with this unit’s sensor on page
22 to connect to the CONTROL jacks instead
of the IR OUT jack.
Operating other Pioneer
components with this unit’s
sensor
Many Pioneer components have SR CONTROL
jacks which can be used to link components
together so that you can use just the remote
sensor of one component. When you use a
remote control, the control signal is passed
along the chain to the appropriate component.
! If you want to control all your components using
this receiver’s remote control, see page 50.
! If you have connected a remote control to the
CONTROL IN jack (using a mini-plug cable),
you won’t be able to control this unit using the
remote sensor.
Important
! Note that if you use this feature, make sure
that you also have at least one set of analog
audio, video or HDMI jacks connected to
another component for grounding purposes.
1 Decide which component you want to
use the remote sensor of.
When you want to control any component in the
chain, this is the remote sensor at which you’ll
point the corresponding remote control.
2 Connect the CONTROL OUT jack of that
component to the CONTROL IN jack of
another Pioneer component.
Use a cable with a mono mini-plug on each end
for the connection.
