To make the most of the SR+ features, you
should connect your source components (DVD
E
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.
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).
• If you connect to a Pioneer flat screen TV using an SR+ cable, you will need to point the remote control at the flat screen 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 screen TV off.
2 The automatic volume muting feature is enabled separately.
