MULTI-ZONE remote controls
Set the MULTI-ZONE operation switch to ZONE 2 or
ZONE 3 to operate the corresponding zone.
The following table shows the possible MULTI-ZONE
remote controls:
Connecting an IR receiver
If you keep your stereo components in a closed cabinet or
shelving unit, or you wish to use the sub zone remote
control in another zone, you can use an optional IR
receiver (such as a Niles or Xantech unit) to control your
system instead of the remote sensor on the front panel of
this amplifier.
1
1 Connect the IR receiver sensor to the IR IN jack on
the rear of this amplifier.
2 Connect the IR IN jack of another component to the
IR OUT jack on the rear of this amplifier 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 111 to connect to the
CONTROL jacks instead of the IR OUT jack.
Switching components on and off using
the 12 volt trigger
You can connect components in your system (such as a
screen or projector) to this amplifier so that they switch
on or off using 12 volt triggers when you select an input
function. However, you must specify which input
functions switch on the trigger using the
The Input Setup
menu on page 94. Note that this will only work with
components that have a standby mode. 2
• Connect the 12 V TRIGGER jack of this amplifier to
the 12 V trigger of another component.
Use a cable with a mono mini-plug on each end for the
connection.
• The trigger maximum power is DC OUT 12 V/50 mA.
After you’ve specified the input functions that will switch
on the trigger, you’ll be able to switch the component on
or off just by pressing the input function(s) you’ve set on
page 94.
Button What it does

Note
1 • Remote operation may not be possible if direct light from a strong fluorescent lamp is shining on the IR receiver remote sensor window.
• Note that other manufacturers may not use the IR terminology. Refer to the manual that came with your component to check for IR compatibility.
• If using two remote controls (at the same time), the IR receiver’s remote sensor takes priority over the remote sensor on the front panel.
• Connections using up to four devices and IR receivers can be made with this amplifier.
