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 70 to connect to the CONTROL jacks instead of the IR OUT jack. Note 1 The tuner cannot be tuned to more than one station at a time. Therefore, changing the station in one room also changes the station in the other room. Please be careful not to change stations when recording a radio broadcast. 2 The volume levels of the main and sub room are independent. 3 • You won't be able to switch the main room off completely unless you've switched off the multi-room control first. • If you don't plan to use the multi-room feature for awhile, turn off the power in both the main and sub room so that this receiver is in standby. 4 • 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. 54 En
