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 74 .
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 74 .
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 75 .
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
75 .
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 76 .
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 of AV amplifier
operation mode on page 76 .
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 76 .
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
91 ).
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
individual commands from another remote control (see Programming signals from other remote controls on
page 75 ).
! 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.
