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

CONTROL IN jack of this receiver with the CONTROL
OUT jack of your flat screen TV.

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
flat screen TV, and just connect the audio (analog and/or
digital) to this receiver.

Using the SR+ mode with a Pioneer flat
screen TV

When connected using an SR+ cable, a number of
features become available to make using this receiver
with your Pioneer flat screen TV 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 flat screen

TV.

• Automatic volume muting on the flat screen TV.
