Pioneer VSX-1025 Operating Instructions Manual page 83

Controlling the rest of your system
Multi operation and System off
The Multi operation feature allows you to
program a series of up to 5 commands for the
components in your system.
• Be sure to call up the preset codes of
devices or perform programming signals
for other remote controls before multi
operation memory programming (page 80).
The Multi operation feature makes it easy to
perform the following operations by pressing
just two buttons.
Press MULTI OPERATION and then the DVD
input function button to:
1. Switch this receiver on.
2. Switch this receiver's input to DVD.
3. Transmit a sequence of up to five
programmed commands.
Similar to Multi operations, System off allows
you to use two buttons to stop and switch off a
series of components in your system at the
1
same time. Only one System off operation
sequence may be programmed.
Press MULTI OPERATION and then  SOURCE
to:
1. Transmit a sequence of up to five
programmed commands.
2. Switch off all Pioneer devices including the
receiver (except DVD recorders and VCRs).
For greater convenience, program this receiver
to perform power on/off and playback
operations on non-Pioneer devices as well.
(The signals for Pioneer devices described
above are not contingent on programming for
non-Pioneer devices.)
Note
1 • Before Multi operation and System off will work correctly, you must setup the remote to work with your TV and other
components (see Operating multiple receivers on page 79 for more on this).
• Some units may take some time to power up, in which case multiple operations may not be possible.
• Power on and off commands only work with components that have a standby mode.
2 Some remote controllers for other manufacturers' devices use the same signals for switching the power on and off.
In some cases, even if this receiver is programmed to perform these commands, power to the non-Pioneer devices
may not be switched on and off correctly. Program the receiver to perform these commands if the non-Pioneer device
uses separate signals for power on/off.
The buttons that can be programmed using
Multi operation or System off are the same
buttons as those that can be programmed for
other remote controls (see Programming
signals from other remote controls on page 80).
Programming a Multi operation or a
shutdown sequence
1 Press and hold the R.SETUP, press "3" for
three seconds.
The LED flashes continuously.
• To cancel the preset setup mode press
R.SETUP.
Press the input function button (or 
2
SOURCE button).
For Multi operations, press the input function
you wish to program (for example, if you want
to start the sequence by switching on your
DVD player, press DVD).
For System off, press the  SOURCE button.
The LED blinks twice and flashes
continuously.
3 If necessary, press the input function
button for the component whose command
you want to input.
This is only necessary if the command is for a
new component (input function).
4 Select the button for the command you
want to input.
The LED blinks once and flashes continuously.
• You don't need to program the receiver to
2
switch on or off. This is done automatically.
With Pioneer components, you don't need to
program the power to switch off in a shutdown
sequence (except DVD recorders).
