[. . . ] Check for the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse. If the plug contains a removable fuse cover, you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced. If you lose the fuse cover the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. If the fitted moulded plug is unsuitable for your socket outlet, then the fuse shall be removed and the plug cut off and disposed of safely. There is a danger of severe electrical shock if the cut off plug is inserted into any 13 amp socket. [. . . ] This is only possible if you selected the VARIABLE volume control in ZONE Audio Setup on page 93. 2 5 When you're finished, press CONTROL again to return to the main zone controls. You can also press MULTI-ZONE & SOURCE ON/OFF on the front panel to switch off all output to the sub zone(s). 3 Connecting an IR receiver If you keep your stereo components in a closed cabinet or shelving unit, or you wish to use the sub zone remote control in another zone, you can use an optional IR receiver (such as a Niles or Xantech unit) to control your system instead of the remote sensor on the front panel of this receiver. 4 1 Connect the IR receiver sensor to the IR IN 1 jack on the rear of this receiver. If you also plan to use a separate IR receiver in the sub room, connect this to the IR IN 2 jack. Closet or shelving unit IR Non-Pioneer component MULTI-ZONE remote controls Set the MULTI-ZONE operation switch to ZONE 2 or ZONE 3 to operate the corresponding zone. The following table shows the possible MULTI-ZONE remote controls: Button INPUT SELECT Input source buttons VOL +/­ What it does Switches on/off power in the currently selected sub zone. Use to select the input source directly (this may not work for some functions) in the currently selected sub zone. Use to set the listening volume in the currently selected sub zone.

Please see the manual supplied with your IR receiver for the type of cable necessary for the connection. · If you want to link a Pioneer component to the IR receiver, see Operating other Pioneer components with this unit's sensor on page 106 to connect to the CONTROL jacks instead of the IR OUT jack. Note 1 The tuner cannot be tuned to more than one station at a time. Therefore, changing the station in one zone also changes the station in the other zone. Please be careful not to change stations when recording a radio broadcast. 3 · You won't be able to switch the main zone off completely unless you've switched off the MULTI-ZONE control first. · Make sure you have also selected the display input to which you've connected the receiver in The Input Setup menu on page 90. 2 To switch SR+ mode on/off, set the operation selector switch to RCV, then press SR+. · The automatic video input switching and the automatic volume muting features are enabled separately; see SR+ Setup for Pioneer flat screen TVs on page 93. 69 En 09 Other connections Connecting a PC for Advanced MCACC output When using the Acoustic Calibration EQ Professional (see page 50) to calibrate the reverb characteristics of your listening room, you can graphically check the results on your computer connected to this receiver. Also, when the Full Band Phase Control function is activated, you can visually check the calibrated characteristics of group delay of the speakers and the corrected characteristics of group delay processed by the exclusive correction filter by installing the corresponding PC application on your computer. Use a commercially-available RS-232C cable to connect the RS-232C jack on your computer to the 9-pin RS-232C jack on the back panel of this receiver (the cable must be cross type, female­female). The software to output the results is available from the support area of the Pioneer website (http:// www. pioneer. eu). If you have any questions about the software, please contact the Pioneer Service Center specified on your warranty card. Please make sure your system meets the following requirements: · Operating system must be Microsoft Windows® XP (Service Pack 2) or Windows® 2000. · CPU must be at least Pentium 3 / 300 MHz or AMD K6 / 300 MHz (or equivalent) with at least 128 MB of memory, and your monitor must be able to display a minimum resolution of 800x600. Refer to the operating instructions and/or the PC manufacturer for more information on making the proper port settings. · System must have internet access. · Connect your computer to the RS-232C jack on the rear panel of the receiver. [. . . ] · Phase Control The Phase Control feature corrects the phase distortion as well as group delay for LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) audio signals during multichannel playback. · Full Band Phase Control The Full Band Phase Control feature analyzes the frequency-phase characteristics of the speakers connected and corrects the phase distortion to the flattened frequency-phase characteristics. This correction minimizes the group delay of the middle- and low-frequency ranges against the high-frequency range and improves the frequency-phase characteristics across all ranges. Furthermore, the enhanced frequencyphase characteristics between channels ensure better surround sound integration. [. . . ]
