That is one way to do it but, there is no reason to use the low voltage sensor for that application. You should use the high voltage (120 volts AC ) sensor to plug straight into the switched outlet. This is what it is made for.

The low voltage sensor can be used with a relay, a 12 volt trigger or a fan, just to name a few. If the unit has a 120 volt outlet, just use the high voltage sensor.

About warranties; We have taken many of Sony units in for service with these modifications. I just tell them what they are and they leave them alone. They also honor the warranty if it applies. Other manufactures do the same. Just make sure you do a nice and neat job.


Good Luck,
