Direct function

!

Default setting:

On

You can use the direct function feature to con-

trol one component using the remote control

while at the same time, using your receiver to

playback a different component. This could let

you, for example, use the remote control to set

up and listen to a CD on the receiver, and then

use the remote control to rewind a tape in your

VCR while you continue to listen to your CD

player.

When direct function is on, any component you

select (using the input function buttons) will be

selected by both the receiver and the remote

control. When you turn direct function off, you

can operate the remote control without affect-

ing the receiver.

1

Press and hold RCU SETUP, then press

‘5’ for three seconds.

Release the button after the LED flashes once.

The LED continues to flash.

!

To cancel the preset setup mode press

RCU SETUP

.

2

Press the input function button for the

component you want to control.

3

Press ‘1’ (On) or ‘0’ (Off) to switch the

direct function mode.

If the LED lights for one second and continues

to flash, the setting has been successfully

completed.

If the LED flashes three times, the setting has

failed.

4

Press RCU SETUP to exit the setup.

Multi Operation and System

Off

The Multi operation feature allows you to

program a series of up to 5 commands for the

components in your system.

!

Be sure to call up the preset codes of devices

or perform programming signals for other

remote controls before multi operation

memory programming (page 53).

The Multi operation feature makes it easy to

perform the following operations by pressing

just two buttons.

Press

MULTI OPERATION

and then the

DVD

input function button to:

1. Switch this receiver on.

2. Switch this receiver’s input to DVD.

3. Transmit a sequence of up to five pro-

grammed commands.

Similar to Multi operations, System off allows

you to use two buttons to stop and switch off

a series of components in your system at the

same time. Only one System off operation

sequence may be programmed.

Press

MULTI OPERATION

and then

u

SOURCE

to:

1. Transmit a sequence of up to five pro-

grammed commands.

2. Switch off all Pioneer devices including the

receiver (except DVD recorders and VCRs).

For greater convenience, program this receiver

to perform power on/off and playback opera-

tions on non-Pioneer devices as well. (The

signals for Pioneer devices described above

are not contingent on programming for non-

Pioneer devices.)

The buttons that can be programmed using

Multi operation or System off are the same but-

tons as those that can be programmed for other

remote controls (see

Programming signals from

other remote controls

on page 53 ).

Controlling the rest of your system

Note

!

Before Multi operation and System off will

work correctly, you must setup the remote to

work with your TV and other components (see

Setting the remote to control other components

on page 52 for more on this).

!

Some units may take some time to power up,

in which case multiple operations may not be

possible.

!

Power on and off commands only work with

components that have a standby mode.

!

Some remote controllers for other

manufacturers’ devices use the same signals

for switching the power on and off. In some

cases, even if this receiver is programmed to

perform these commands, power to the non-

Pioneer devices may not be switched on and

off correctly. Program the receiver to perform

these commands if the non-Pioneer device

uses separate signals for power on/off.

You don’t need to program the receiver to

switch on or off. This is done automatically.

With Pioneer components, you don’t need to

program the power to switch off in a shutdown

sequence (except DVD recorders).
