Using this receiver with a Pioneer flat
panel TV
If you have a Pioneer flat panel TV, you can use an SR+
cable
1
to connect it to this receiver and take advantage of
various convenient features, such as automatic video
input switching of the flat panel TV when the input is
changed.
2
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 65).
• If you connect to a Pioneer flat panel TV using an
SR+ cable, you will need to point the remote control
at the flat panel 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
panel 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 67 and SR+ Setup for Pioneer flat
panel TVs on page 70 for detailed instructions.
• Use a 3-ringed miniplug SR+ cable to connect the
CONTROL IN
jack of this receiver with the
CONTROL
OUT
jack of your flat panel 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 panel TV, and just connect the audio (analog and/or
digital) to this receiver.
Note
1 The 3-ringed SR+ cable from Pioneer is commercially available under the part number ADE7095. Contact the Pioneer Customer Support division for
more information on obtaining an SR+ cable (you can also use a commercially available 3-ringed mini phone plug for the connection).
2 This receiver is compatible with all SR+ equipped Pioneer flat panel TVs from 2003 onward.
