Other connections 06 English Connecting an IR receiver If you keep your stereo components in a closed cabinet or shelving unit, 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 receiver.1 1 Connect the IR receiver sensor to the IR IN jack on the rear of this receiver. Closet or shelving unit Non-Pioneer IR component 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. • Note that if you use this feature, make sure that you also have at least one set of analog audio jacks connected to another component for grounding purposes.
