3 Use the INPUT SELECTOR dial to select the source
for the zone you have selected.
For example,
ZONE 2 CD-R sends the source connected
to the CD-R inputs to the primary (ZONE 2) sub room.
• If you select TUNER, you can use the TUNER controls
to select a preset station (see Saving station presets
on page 41 if you’re unsure how to do this).

Set the MULTI-ZONE operation switch to ZONE 2 or
ZONE 3 to operate the corresponding zone.
The following table shows the possible MULTI-ZONE
remote controls:
Connecting an IR receiver
If you keep your stereo components in a closed cabinet or
shelving unit, or you wish to use the sub zone remote
control in another zone, 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 Connect the IR receiver sensor to the IR IN 1 jack on
the rear of this receiver.
If you also plan to use a separate IR receiver in the sub
room, connect this to the
IR IN 2 jack.
2 Connect the IR IN jack of another component to the
IR OUT jack on the rear of this receiver to link it to the
IR receiver.
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 106 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 zone also changes the station in the other
zone. Please be careful not to change stations when recording a radio broadcast.
2 The volume levels of the main and sub zones are independent.
3 • You won’t be able to switch the main zone off completely unless you’ve switched off the MULTI-ZONE control first.
• If you don’t plan to use the MULTI-ZONE feature for awhile, turn off the power in both the sub and main rooms so that this receiver is in
standby.

• 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.
