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.
! 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 com-
ponent 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.
1 Connect the IR receiver sensor to the IR IN jack on the rear of this receiver.

CAUTION
! Handle the power cord by the plug part. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord, and never touch the
power cord when your hands are wet, as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the
unit, a piece of furniture, or other object on the power cord or pinch the cord in any other way. Never make a
knot in the cord or tie it with other cables. The power cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be
stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an electric shock. Check the power cord once
in a while. If you find it damaged, ask your nearest Pioneer authorized independent service company for a
replacement.
