  If no sound is output when a function is selected on your Pioneer Receiver, consider the following potential causes: Improper connections—ensure all components are connected correctly. The sound may be muted, so press the MUTE button on the remote control. The volume might be turned down, so adjust the MASTER VOLUME. Check if the TAPE 2 MONITOR is ON and, if so, press the TAPE 2 MONITOR button. The speakers might be turned OFF, so press SPEAKERS (A/B) to select the connected speakers.
