Xantech VSX-45TX manual Application Advisory, Solution, 789-44, 291-10 or

	Application Advisory
AA-04(Interfacing with Pioneer VSX-45TX)
Symptom:	Unable to control a Pioneer VSX-45TX Receiver via the Multi Room &
	Source REMOTE IN jack on the rear of the receiver.
Solution:	This requires any one of Xantech’s IR Receivers (291, 480,490, or 780

Series), 781RG Power Supply with a standard connecting block (CB12, 789-44 etc.) and a 3.5mm Stereo Mini Plug to Stereo Mini Plug cable.

This is a DIRECT Connect application with a standard emitter out but requires a Stereo Mini Plug instead of a Mono Mini Plug.

NOTE: Do not use a mono mini plug when connecting to the MR&S Remote IN Jack on the rear of the receiver. The Pioneer VSX-45TX MR&S Remote IN jack outputs a 5VDC voltage on the RING of the Stereo Mini Jack. Using a Mono Mini Plug will short this voltage to ground and possibly damage the unit.

1.To operate the receiver from a remote room, connect the system as follows (see Figure 1 for reference):

2.Using a 3.5mm Stereo Mini Plug cable (Xantech PN#06017600), connect one end into a spare emitter port on the 789-44 Connecting Block (or other) and the opposite end into the Green jack on the rear of the Receiver marked Multi Room & Source REMOTE IN.
