• Use a 3-ringed miniplug SR+ cable to
1
connect the CONTROL IN jack of this receiver
with the CONTROL OUT of your flat screen TV.
Before you can use the extra SR+ features, you
need to make a few settings in the receiver.
To make the most of the SR+ features, you
should connect your source components (DVD
player, etc.) in a slightly different way to that
described in this chapter. For each
component, connect the video output directly
to the flat screen TV, and just connect the
audio (analog and/or digital) to this receiver.
Using the SR+ mode with a Pioneer
flat screen TV
When connected using an SR+ cable, a
number of features become available to make
using this receiver with your Pioneer flat
screen TV even easier. These features include:
• On-screen volume display.
• On-screen display of listening mode.
• Automatic video input switching on the
flat screen TV.
• Automatic volume muting on the flat
screen TV.

Note
1• The 3-ringed SR+ cable from Pioneer is commercially available under the part number ADE7095. Contact the Pioneer
Customer Support division for more information on obtaining an SR+ cable (you can also use a commercially available 3-
ringed mini phone plug for the connection).
• If you connect to a Pioneer flat screen TV using an SR+ cable, you will need to point the remote control at the flat screen TV
remote sensor to control the receiver. In this case, you won’t be able to control the receiver using the remote control if you switch
the
flat screen TV
