Connecting An Ir Receiver; Plugging In The Receiver - Pioneer VSX-420-S Operating Instructions Manual

03 Connecting your equipment

Connecting an IR receiver

If you keep your stereo components in a closed
cabinet or shelving unit, or you wish to use the
sub zone remote control in another zone, you
can use an optional IR receiver (such as a Niles
or Xantech unit) to control your system instead
of the remote sensor on the front panel of this
1
receiver.
• Connect the IR receiver sensor to the IR IN
jack on the rear of this receiver.
For more information on connecting the IR
receiver, see the Installation Instructions for
the IR Receiver.
Note
1 • Remote operation may not be possible if direct light from a strong fluorescent lamp is shining on the IR receiver remote
sensor window.
• Note that other manufacturers may not use the IR terminology. Refer to the manual that came with your component to check
for IR compatibility.

Plugging in the receiver

Only plug in after you have connected all your
components to this receiver, including the
speakers.
CAUTION
• Handle the power cord by the plug part. Do
not pull out the plug by tugging the cord,
and never touch the power cord when your
hands are wet, as this could cause a short
circuit or electric shock. Do not place the
unit, a piece of furniture, or other object on
the power cord or pinch the cord in any
other way. Never make a knot in the cord or
tie it with other cables. The power cords
should be routed so that they are not likely
to be stepped on. A damaged power cord
can cause a fire or give you an electric
shock. Check the power cord once in a
while. If you find it damaged, ask your
nearest Pioneer authorized independent
service company for a replacement.
• Do not use any power cord other than the
one supplied with this unit.
• Do not use the supplied power cord for any
purpose other than that described below.
• The receiver should be disconnected by
removing the mains plug from the wall
socket when not in regular use, e.g., when
on vacation.
1 Plug the supplied power cord into the AC
IN socket on the back of the receiver.
2 Plug the other end into a power outlet.
