Operating Other Pioneer Components With This Unit's Sensor; Plugging In The Receiver - Pioneer VSX-C501-S Operating Instruction

Connecting your equipment
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.
1 Decide which component you want to use the
remote sensor of.
When you want to control any component in the chain,
this is the remote sensor that you will point the remote
control at.
2 Connect the CONTROL OUT jack of that
component to the CONTROL IN jack of another
Pioneer component.
Use a cable with a mono mini-plug on each end for the
connection (one SR cable is supplied).
3 Continue the chain in the same way for as
many components as you have.
Tip
• You can also set up the supplied remote to control
other components in your system (both Pioneer and
non-Pioneer). See Using the remote control with other
components on page 38 for how to do this.

Plugging in the receiver

Only plug in after you have connected all your
components, including the speakers.
Caution
• Handle the power cable by the plug. Do not pull out
the plug by tugging the cable and never touch the
power cable when your hands are wet as this could
cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place
the unit or a piece of furniture, etc., on the power
cable, or pinch the cable. Never make a knot in the
cable or tie it with other cables. The power cables
should be routed such that they are not likely to be
stepped on. A damaged power cable can cause a fire
or give you an electrical shock. Check the power
cable once in a while. When you find it damaged, ask
your nearest Pioneer authorized service center or
your dealer for a replacement.
1 Plug the supplied power cable into the AC IN
socket on the back of the receiver.
2 Plug the other end into a power outlet.
