Did your remote fall in the water? Did the dog chew it up? Was it misplaced without a trace and lost without hope? The original factory remote control is a critical component of your pricey receiver. Dont settle for third-party substandard replacements, worthless knock-offs, or cheap counterfeit imitations. Shortcuts are not recommended here. Knock-offs abound on eBay but easy to spot them. For all three listed receivers, the genuine Pioneer remote control is rounded at all four corners. Original remotes always display the brand name like Pioneer on the bottom. Above, on the right to the brand name it displays the model number, like RC-974R Cant see those credentials at other listings? Then, you are looking at a counterfeit imitation. Here goes the real McCoy! Genuine, original, authentic PIONEER RC-974R Remote Control. OEM. Will control essential functions of all late model PIONEER receivers too. New remote. Factory bundled component of PIONEER VSX-934, ELITE VSX-LX104, and ELITE VSX-LX304 AV receivers. Not an individually retail-packaged model. Therefore, no original manufacturers packaging, manuals, and batteries are offered.
