The answer to your question is yes & no. There is a +12 volt DC “Trigger Out” port in the upper left of the back panel, however it will only allow a 0.1 amp load max. Since your cooling fan draws a lot more, you could not drive the fan directly, but you could use that signal to activate the coil of a 12v relay to carry the current load across it’s contacts to supply the 120v to the fan (if you feel ok wiring this up yourself). Maybe someone makes a device that uses the trigger to activate a 120v outlet. There is an outlet strip that you can plug your unit into, and once it turns on, and the strip sees that load, it turns on the other outlets on the strip. I Googled “Load activated outlet strip” and found a few, (Smart Strip LCG-3MVR 10-Outlet Adjustable Threshold Surge Protector with Autoswitching) Run it past the Best Buy team maybe they can help you. In the years past there was a plug in the back of most receivers and tuners that supplied 120v when the unit was turned on. It would be nice if they brought that back.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
