Operating other Pioneer

components with this unit’s

sensor

Many Pioneer components have SR 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.

Note that if you use this feature, make sure

that you also have at least one set of analog

audio jacks connected to another

component for grounding purposes.

CONTROL OUT

jack of this

amplifier to the

CONTROL IN

jack of another

Pioneer component.

Use a cable with a mono mini-plug on each

end for the connection.

2 If the Pioneer component also has a

CONTROL OUT

jack, you can continue the

chain in the same way for as many

components as you have.
