Controlling other equipment
Using the remote control with other
components
The supplied remote control can operate not only this
receiver, but also your TV, DVD player and other
components. If the component is listed in the remote
control's memory, you can simply follow the steps in
Recalling preset codes below. If the component is not
listed, or if you want the remote to learn additional
operations, see Programming signals from other remote
controls on page 59.
See Preset code brands on page 105 for a list of brands
available for each component.
Note
• You can cancel or exit any of the following steps by
pressing REMOTE SETUP.
• After one minute of inactivity, the remote goes to
sleep. Press any button to reactivate the remote
display and continue.
• TV codes (for example, codes for TV, CATV, Satellite
TV or DTV) can only be assigned to the TV/SAT or TV
CONT button.
• The default preset setting for all functions is a corre-
sponding Pioneer component. Note that where two
buttons are listed, the first component is the default
(for example, MD/TAPE2 is an MD), and the VIDEO
button is set to a Pioneer DVD player.
