Switching components on and off using
the 12 volt trigger
You can connect components in your system (such as a
screen or projector) to this receiver so that they switch on
or off using 12 volt triggers when you select an input
function. However, you must specify which input
functions switch on the trigger using the
The Input Setup
menu on page 65. Note that this will only work with
components that have a standby mode.
•
Connect the 12 V TRIGGER jack of this receiver to
the 12 V trigger of another component.
Use a cable with a mono mini-plug on each end for the
connection.
• The trigger maximum power is DC OUT 12 V/50 mA
(50 mA total for terminals 1 and 2).
After you’ve specified the input functions that will switch
on the trigger, you’ll be able to switch the component on
or off just by pressing the input function(s) you’ve set on
The Input Setup menu on page 65.
Using this receiver with a Pioneer flat

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 flat screen TV using an
SR+ cable, you will need to point the remote control
at the flat screen TV 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 flat
screen TV 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 65 and SR+ Setup for Pioneer flat
screen TVs on page 68 for detailed instructions.
