The Pioneer VSX-42 receiver does not have built-in Bluetooth connectivity. However, it does include other connectivity options such as Wi-Fi and Ethernet for network connectivity, as well as options to connect devices using HDMI, optical, or analog audio cables.
If you would like to use Bluetooth with the Pioneer VSX-42, you can consider purchasing an external Bluetooth transmitter or receiver. These devices can be connected to the receiver using the available audio input ports, such as the analog audio input or digital input (if available), allowing you to wirelessly connect Bluetooth-enabled devices to the receiver. Please note that the specific compatibility and functionality of external Bluetooth transmitters or receivers may vary, so ensure the device you choose is compatible with your receiver and offers the features you require.
It's also recommended to refer to the user manual or contact Pioneer customer support for further assistance or specific recommendations regarding Bluetooth connectivity options for the VSX-42 receiver.
I hope this is helpful? PLEASE "ACCEPT" and mark it "HELPFUL" to complement my little effort. Hope to bring you more detailed answers.

To turn on Bluetooth on your Pioneer VSX-42, you can follow these steps:
- Make sure that your receiver is turned on.
- Press the SOURCE button on the receiver's front panel or remote control.
- Use the Arrow buttons to select the Bluetooth option.
- Press the ENTER button to select the Bluetooth option.
- The receiver will enter Bluetooth pairing mode.
- On your Bluetooth device, open the Bluetooth settings and search for new devices.
- Select the Pioneer VSX-42 from the list of devices.
- Enter the PIN code 0000 when prompted.
- The receiver will connect to your Bluetooth device.
Once the receiver is connected to your Bluetooth device, you can start streaming music from your device to the receiver.
Here are some additional things to keep in mind:
- The Bluetooth feature on the Pioneer VSX-42 is only compatible with A2DP profile Bluetooth devices.
- If you are having trouble connecting your Bluetooth device to the receiver, try restarting both devices.
- You can also connect an optional Bluetooth adapter to the receiver if you want to use Bluetooth with devices that do not support the A2DP profile.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
Please respond to my effort to provide you with the best possible solution by using the "Acceptable Solution" and/or the "Helpful" buttons when the answer has proven to be helpful.
