Application Advisory
AA-04(Interfacing with Pioneer VSX-45TX)
Page 1 of 2
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.

In addition to the above IR Repeater setup, you will also need to enable the
receiver as follows:
1. Configure the Multiroom setup for IR Receiver operation (see page
76 of the Pioneer VSX-45TX manual).
a. Turn ON the Receiver and press the SYSTEM Setup button
on the Remote
b. Using the UP/DOWN cursors select the MULTI ROOM Menu
c. Select the IR Receiver sub-menu
d. Set the IR Receiver to OTHERS (choice is PIONEER or
OTHERS) and exit the menu. This will disable the 5VDC
signal.
Note: If after making SYSTEM SETUP changes, the IR stops working,
simply unplug the VSX-45TX from the AC Source, wait 5-10seconds and
plug back in resetting the port.
