Operating other Pioneer components
with this receiver’s sensor
Many Pioneer components have CONTROL jacks which
can be used to link components together so that you can
use just the remote sensor of one component. When you
use a remote control, the control signal is passed along
the chain to the appropriate component.

Important
• Note that if you use this feature, make sure that you
also have at least one set of analog audio, video or
HDMI jacks connected to another component for
grounding purposes.
1 Decide which component you want to use the
remote sensor of.
When you want to control any component in the chain,
this is the remote sensor at which you’ll point the
corresponding remote control.
2 Connect the CONTROL OUT jack of that component
to the CONTROL IN jack of another Pioneer component.
Use a cable with a mono mini-plug on each end for the
connection.
3 Continue the chain in the same way for as many
components as you have.
