  Jordan MorrisAug 25, 2025
  If your Pioneer Home Theater System is automatically turning ON/OFF and switching inputs (when the ARC function is ON), it may be due to the CEC (Consumer Electronic Control) function activating when ARC is enabled. Try turning OFF the HDMI CONTROL setting on the connected player. If that doesn't work, turn OFF the ARC function.

Why does the sound suddenly stop on my Pioneer Home Theater System?

  russell60Aug 30, 2025
  If you experience no sound or sudden cessation of sound, ensure that the HDMI setting is set to AMP. If you are using a DVI device, ensure a separate audio connection is made. Also, HDMI format digital audio transmissions require a longer time to be recognized, so interruption in the audio may occur when switching between audio formats or beginning playback.

What causes the display to flash and become inoperable on a Pioneer HTP-072?
- Q
  qleeSep 2, 2025
  If the display flashes and the unit cannot be operated, it's possible that the connected source component is not fully compatible with the receiver, even if it is HDCP-compatible. In this case, try connecting the source and receiver using composite video jacks. If video images do not appear on your TV, try adjusting the resolution, Deep Color, or other settings for your component. To output signals in Deep Color, use an HDMI cable (High Speed HDMI[®]/™ Cable) to connect this receiver to a component or TV with the Deep Color feature.
