CAUTION

Incorrect use of batteries may result in such
hazards as leakage and bursting. Observe the
following precautions:

• Never use new and old batteries together.

• Insert the plus and minus sides of the
batteries properly according to the marks
in the battery case.

• Batteries with the same shape may have
different voltages. Do not use different
batteries together.

• When disposing of used batteries, please
comply with governmental regulations or
environmental public instruction’s rules
that apply in your country or area.

• WARNING
Do not use or store batteries in direct
sunlight or other excessively hot place,
such as inside a car or near a heater. This
can cause batteries to leak, overheat,
explode or catch fire. It can also reduce the
life or performance of batteries.

About the RF communications function

With this remote control, two-way
communications between the receiver and
remote control are possible by connecting the
included RF adapter to the RS-232C and CU­RF100/EXTENSION terminals on the receiver.
For instructions on connecting the RF adapter,
see above. Two-way communications allow you
to use the following functions:

Remote control operation

• The receiver can be operated by pointing
the remote control in any direction (360°)
(maximum line-of-sight distance for two­way communications: about 10 meters).

• Operate is possible without being affected
by obstacles (even products in racks can
be operated).

• The information shown on the receiver’s
display can be displayed on the remote
control’s display as you operate.

5

En

Using the RF communications function02

• RF communications can be used to
operate up to 4 other components
connected to the receiver (using the
included IR blaster. For details, see

Operating other components by RF
communications on page 7).

• The remote control input display names
can be synchronized with the input names
changed at Input Name on the receiver’s
Input Setup menu (see receiver’s
Operating Instructions) and acquired
automatically. For details, see Renaming

input function names in synchrony with the
receiver on page 8.

• When the receiver’s input is switched, the
remote control’s display and operating
mode switch to that input automatically.
For details, see Setting the remote control
operation mode on page 9.

Important

• The line-of-sight communications distance
is a rough indication, and may differ
according to the surrounding environment.

• Depending on the communications
environment, functions using two-way
communications between the receiver and
remote control may not operate properly.
For details, including cautions on the
communications environment and usage
procedure, etc., see Precautions when

using the Omni-Directional RF Remote
Control on page 10.

Precautions when using the Omni-Directional RF Remote Control

Precautions regarding wavelength

• This remote control is designed to prevent
other persons from eavesdropping on the
transmitted signals, but precautions
should nonetheless be taken against the
chance that other persons’ could intercept
and listen to the signals transmitted. Given
that this remote control produces radio
wave transmissions, another person could
deliberately use a receiver to attempt to
intercept such transmissions. As a result,
this device should not be used to play
important transmissions demanding
privacy.

This remote control utilizes the 2.4 GHz
frequency band. This band is also used by a
variety of other devices as noted below. In
particular, devices not often cognizant to the
user are listed in item 2.

1 Examples of common devices utilizing the

2.4 GHz band:

• Cordless phone

• Cordless facsimile

• Microwave oven

• Wireless LAN router

• Wireless AV device

• Wireless controllers for games

• Microwave therapeutic devices

• Bluetooth wireless technology devices

2 Other devices using 2.4 GHz:

• Shoplifting-prevention systems

• Amateur wireless radio

• Distribution control systems at factories
and warehouses

• Railway and emergency vehicle wireless
identification systems

When such devices are used simultaneously
with this remote control, signal interference
may occur, resulting in signal dropouts.

To improve reception quality, try the following:

• Turn off the other device emitting radio
waves.

• Place the interfering device farther away
(Move both the remote control and RF
adapter away from the interfering device).

Do not use this remote control in the following
locations, since transmission interruption may
result:

• Locations where another device using the
same 2.4 GHz frequency is being used,
such as a Bluetooth wireless technology
device or wireless LAN, or in the vicinity
where the magnetic field, static electricity,
or radio wave interference from another
device may occur (depending on the
environment, radio waves may not transmit
effectively).

• Move the radio farther away.

• If visual noise appears on the television
screen, it is possible that this remote
control is producing adverse influence on
the antenna input of the television, video
device, BS tuner, or CS tuner. Move this
remote control farther away from the
antenna input of the affected device.

Usable range

• Designed for use only within private homes
(signal transmission distance may be
reduced due to room design or conditions).

In the following cases, this remote control
cannot operate due to poor or erratic radio
wave transmission.

• When signal transmission is blocked by a
wall or floor constructed of ferro-concrete
or metal.

• Nearby large metal furniture objects

• In large crowds of people, or near
obstructive buildings.

10

En

Using the RF communications function 02

• Locations where another device using the
same 2.4 GHz frequency is being used,
such as a Bluetooth wireless technology
device or wireless LAN, or in the vicinity
where the magnetic field, static electricity,
or radio wave interference from another
device may occur.

• When living in a housing complex
(apartment, condominium, etc.) where the
next-door unit has a microwave oven
located near to this remote control. Note
that even a microwave oven will not
interfere with this remote control when not
in use.

• When using multiple Omni-Directional RF
Remote Control in the same location.

Signal reflection

• The signals reaching the remote control
include those transmitted in a straight line
from the main unit (direct waves), and
those that are received after being
bounced off of walls, furniture, and other
buildings (reflected waves).
As a result, reflected waves can be
generated by obstacles and other reflective
objects, causing variations in the signal
quality. In such cases, try slightly changing
the position of the remote control.

Examples of devices requiring particular
caution:

• Hearing aids, pacemakers and other
medical or therapeutic electronic devices,
fire/smoke detectors, automatic door
openers, other automatic devices.

• Persons using pacemakers or other
medical or therapeutic electronic devices
should consult the manufacturer or dealer
of their device regarding the potential
effects of radio waves from this remote
control.

• Do not use in aircraft, hospitals, or other
locations where the use of radio-wave­generating devices is prohibited, since
adverse affects may be caused to flight
communications equipment or medical
devices. Follow all precautions and
directives given by medical institutions.

English

CAUTION

• With the exception of cases determined by
law to be the subject of legal liability,
Pioneer refuses all responsibility for any
harm resulting to the customer or other
person as a result of the use of this remote
control.

For safe use

• Do not use near electronic devices utilizing
high-precision or very delicate radio waves,
since the other device may operate
incorrectly, resulting in malfunction.

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 component’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 14).
