I bought a used Pioneer VSX 50 receiver and it did not come with the remote My old remote is not pairing with it. How do I get them to work together?

My recommendation would be to purchase a Logitech Harmony Remote Control, Model 650 or higher. You'll be able to program that to work all your functions and features on your amplifier with ease. Go to your local electronics store and inquire about it. An easy fix for your troubles. Take care!

Hi Pamela,
if the old remote is not for the same make and is not one of those multi remotes that can now be bought then it will not work with the pioneer VSX or if it is from another Pioneer VSX then it may need to have the code re entered by Pioneer.

I would suggest to go to a shop that sels equipment of the same kind and ask for their advice and also whether they do multi controllers that would work, a shop such as Maplin (if you have a Maplin store where you live as they can be very helpful with such problems).

GOOD LUCK.
