on the Remote Setup menu are described below. For their setting procedures, refer to the explanations for the
respective items.
Setting What it does
Change RC
mode
If you have multiple Pioneer receivers, amplifiers, etc., this setting can be used to prevent other units from
operating simultaneously when the remote control unit is operated. See Operating multiple receivers on
page 97 .
Preset recall
Preset codes can be set for the various input functions. The remote control codes of a number of other
devices (including products of other brands) are preset in the remote control to allow these devices to be
operated. See Selecting preset codes directly on page 97 .
Code learning
If the desired operations cannot be performed even though you have set the preset codes, the remote control
signals of other devices can be learned directly. See Programming signals from other remote controls on
page 98 .
Erase learning
This function is used to erase remote control codes that have been learned. Codes learned for the different
input functions can be erased individually. See Erasing one of the remote control button settings on page
98 .
Reset function
This is a function for resetting preset codes that have been set. Key resetting can be done for individual input
functions. See Erasing all learnt settings that are in one input function on page 99 .
Operation
mode switching
time
You can set to automatically switch to AV amplifier operation mode when a certain period of time elapses
after remote operation of each input function is finished. See Setting the switching time for the receiver
operation mode on page 99 .
All reset
This is a function for resetting all remote control unit settings you have made to the defaults set upon ship-
ment from the factory. See Resetting the remote control settings on page 99 .
Notes
! You can cancel or exit any of the steps by pressing RCU SETUP.
! After one minute of inactivity, the remote automatically exits the operation.

Operating multiple receivers

Up to four receivers can be operated discretely using this receiver’s remote control when using multiple receiv-
ers, provided they are of the same model as this receiver. The receiver to be operated is switched by inputting the
preset code to set the remote control setting.
! Set the remote modes on the receivers before using this function (see Remote Control Mode Setup on page
114 ).
1 Press and hold RCU SETUP, then press ‘4’ for three seconds.
Release the button after the LED flashes once. The LED continues to flash.
! To cancel the preset setup mode press RCU SETUP.
2 Press the number button for the receiver (“Receiver 1” to “Receiver 4”) you wish to
operate.
For example, to operate “Receiver 2”, press ‘2’.
If the LED lights for one second, the setting has been successfully completed.
When the preset code is input, the LED flashes three times to indicate that the setting has failed.

Setting the remote to control other components

Most components can be assigned to one of the input function buttons (such as DVD or CD) using the compo-
nent’s manufacturer preset code stored in the remote.
However, there are cases where only certain functions may be controllable after assigning the proper preset code, or
the codes for the manufacturer in the remote control will not work for the model that you are using.
If you can’t find a preset code that matches the component you want to control, you can still teach the remote indi-
vidual commands from another remote control (see Programming signals from other remote controls on page 98 ).
! With the TV buttons, the TV can be operated regardless of the input set for the remote control’s operation
mode. When using one TV set, we recommend assigning the same TV’s preset codes to the TV INPUT button
and the TV button. When using two TV sets, for better convenience assign the TV connected to the MONITOR
OUT terminals to the TV INPUT button, the other TV to the TV button.
! Devices may be assigned to the following input function buttons.
SOURCE CONTROL
STANDBY/ON
DVDBD SAT

To operate the Pioneer Elite VSX-45 receiver without a remote control, you can follow these steps: 1. Press the "NET" button on the receiver to switch the remote control to the network operation mode. 2. Use the available buttons on the receiver to control the basic playback functions. Note that some buttons may not be available depending on the category being played back. 3. If you wish to control the receiver from a different location or if the receiver is kept in a closed cabinet, you can connect an optional IR receiver (such as a Niles or Xantech unit) to the IR IN jack on the rear of the receiver. This will allow you to control the receiver using the IR receiver instead of the remote sensor on the front panel. 4. If you have other components connected to the receiver, you can use the 12 volt trigger feature to switch them on or off when you select an input function. To set up the 12 volt trigger, refer to the Input Setup menu. 5. Make sure to plug in the receiver after connecting all your components, including the speakers. Handle the power cord properly and avoid pulling it by tugging the cord or touching it with wet hands.
