In this case plug the amplifier into the left (L (Single)) terminal only. • The sound from the surround back terminals will depend on how you have configured the Surround back speaker setting on page 35. • To hear sound only from the pre-outs, switch the speaker system to OFF, or simply disconnect any speakers that are connected directly to the receiver. • If you're not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see Speaker Setting on page 40) to LARGE. Using this receiver with a Pioneer plasma display If you have a Pioneer plasma display, you can use an SR+ cable1 to connect it to this unit and take advantage of various convenient features, such as automatic video input switching of the plasma display when the input is changed.2 CONTROL OUT VSX-1017TXV Pioneer plasma display OPTICAL DIGITAL ANTENNA IN 1 (DVD/LD) IN 2 (TV/SAT) OUT IN 1 (DVR/ VCR1) IN 2 (TV/SAT) IN 3 (CD) COMPONENT VIDEO Y PB PR IN 1 Y PB PR IN 2 Y PB PR Y PB PR ASSIGNABLE 1 3 OUT HDMI ASSIGNABLE 12 XM IN ASSIGNABLE 13 S-VIDEO CONTROL OUT IN iPod IN IN IN OUT IN VIDEO AUDIO IN L IN 1 (DVD/LD) R IN 2 (DVR/VCR2) CD COAXIAL ASSIGNABLE 12 OUT IN IN IN OUT IN CD-R/TAPE/MD DVD/LD TV/SAT DVR/VCR1 AM LOOP L C OUT IN 3 R S FRONT W OUT IN OUT IN DVR/VCR2 Important • If you connect to a Pioneer plasma display using an SR+ cable, you will need to point the remote control at the plasma display remote sensor to control the receiver. In this case, you won't be able to control the receiver using the remote control if you switch the plasma display off. • Before you can use the extra SR+ features, you need to make a few settings in the receiver. See The Input Assign menu on page 52 and SR+ Setup for Pioneer plasma displays on page 54 for detailed instructions. Note 1 The 3-ringed SR+ cable from Pioneer is commercially available under the part number ADE7095. Contact the Pioneer Customer Support division for more information on obtaining an SR+ cable (you can also use a commercially available 3-ringed mini phone plug for the connection). 2 This receiver is compatible with all SR+ equipped Pioneer plasma displays from 2003 onward. 50 En
