Important

• You can’t use the SR+ features when HDMI Control

is set to ON. Make sure to set HDMI Control to OFF
when you use the SR+ features (page 63).

• 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

Setup menu

on page 64 and

SR+ Setup for Pioneer

plasma displays

on page 66 for detailed instructions.

•

Use a 3-ringed miniplug SR+ cable to connect the

CONTROL IN

jack of this receiver with the

CONTROL

OUT

jack of your plasma display.

To make the most of the SR+ features, you should
connect your source components (DVD player, etc.) in a
slightly different way to that described in this chapter. For
each component, connect the video output directly to the
plasma display, and just connect the audio (analog and/
or digital) to this receiver.

Using the SR+ mode with a Pioneer
plasma display

When connected using an SR+ cable, a number of
features become available to make using this receiver
with your Pioneer plasma display even easier. These
features include:

• On-screen displays when making receiver settings,

such as speaker setup, MCACC setup, and so on.

• On-screen volume display.

• On-screen display of listening mode.

• Automatic video input switching on the plasma

display.

• Automatic volume muting on the plasma display.
