The VR-5900 supports 2 types of additional external con- trols:

•A relay control that enables you to operate external re- lay-control devices (such as the Xantech 590-0 program- mable controller, via Xantech’s 599-00 pulse switching module).

•A TV ON/OFF sensor that enables you to use the Perfect Macro feature (described further in the Users’ Guide) to accurately sense whether the TV is already on or off and adjust accordingly.

To Connect Relay Controls:

1.Consult the relay control’s manual for compatibility in- formation and installation instructions before connect- ing it to your new receiver. If you install the control in- correctly or connect an incompatible control to the re- ceiver, you may damage the control and your new re- ceiver.

2.Connect the control cable to the receiver’s RELAY CON- TROL jack. This jack supports a 12V, 20mA signal.

Do not connect multiple 599-00 switching modules to each other or to the receiver, as this can exceed the maximum current capacity of the jack and damage your receiver.

To Connect TV ON/OFF Sensors:

1.Connect the sensor to the TV as described in the sensor’s manual.

2.Connect the sensor cable to the receiver’s TV ON/ OFF SENSOR jack. This jack supports a 5V, 10mA signal.

JDS:PSS-TV or NILES:LS-1, APC-2 sensors are compatible with your new receiver.
