Receiver cooling fan (1 Viewer)

[eurovw89]

Hello everyone and Happy Holidays. My question is this.....how can I turn on cooling fans when the receiver comes on. I have the Pioneer 1019ah and runs pretty warm.....and does not have any 120v power outlets on the back. I want to buy 2 - 120mm cooling fans cool down the receiver whenever it turns on. -I have a PS3 (dont know the max amps for the usb ports plus it is not always on with the receiver.) - I have my DVR box (it is not always on with the receiver) - I dont want to buy an automatic thermostat cuz it would come on and off non-stop...i want the fan to run the whole time the receiver is on. - I dont want to plug it into a receptacle cuz i will have to plug and un-plug it Does anyone know if there is a device that I can plug the fan power supply into and use my remote (Logitech One) to turn it on? or anyway I can get em to turn on with the receiver? I really need/want to get fans.....I tried out an old computer CPU fans and cooled it down quite a bit. Anyone's input, suggestions, or ideas will be greatly appreciated. Again wishing everyone and their families a great Holiday. Thank you Jeff

I'm suprised your 1019 even needs a fan. I've owned several Pioneer receivers, including a big ol' 59txi and even that didn't rquire cooling. All the others ran so cool I often wondered if they were even working! That receiver doesn't have any connections on the back to control other equipment. The only thing I can think of is to plug the fan into a surge protector and flip the switch on or off as needed. Not what you wanted to do but I can't think of anything else. There is a website called CoolerGuys.com. They specialize in cooling electronic components. Shoot them an e-mail. Maybe they can come up with something.
