example, that have control jacks using monaural miniplug
cables (without resistors), you can centralize control of the
devices using the Pioneer Remote App.
Furthermore, even when the other devices are put in places
where the remote control signal is unable to reach, you can
enable operation of the other components through the
remote control sensor of this unit.
0Also make sure to connect with the analog audio cable.
Centralized control cannot work correctly with only the
control jack connection.
0With this connection, the remote control sensors on the
amplifier and CD player stop working. Point the remote
controller at remote control sensor of this unit.
