Why is sound produced from some components, but not from digital components on my Pioneer VSX-AX3-S Receiver?
The SIGNAL SELECT may be set incorrectly, so set it to AUTO or according to the type of connections made. The digital inputs may be assigned incorrectly, or not at all, so set the digital input settings correctly. Ensure the digital components are connected properly. The player may not be compatible with the source you’re using, or the player settings are incorrect, so choose a compatible source, or check the player’s manual for the correct settings. If MULTI CH IN mode has been selected, choose one of the listening modes to switch it off automatically. The digital output level may have been turned down on a CD player or other component, so set the digital volume level of the player to full, or to the neutral position.
Why is there no sound output from one set of speakers on my Pioneer Receiver?
The speaker system setting may be set to NO, so change it to YES. Also, the speaker may not be connected properly, so check all connections. The source may have no sound output for that channel, so choose one of the SURROUND listening modes to create a channel for the speaker. The speaker output level may be set too small, so increase it.
Why does my Pioneer VSX-AX3-S Receiver suddenly switch off during loud playback?
The protection circuit may have been activated because the impedance of your speakers is too low. Try turning down the volume. Additionally, you can lower the 63 Hz and 125 Hz equalizer levels using the manual setting in ACOUSTIC CAL EQ. Also, turning DIGITAL SAFETY on may allow you to turn up the volume a little more. To do this, from Standby mode, hold down the MULTI JOG CONTROL SET UP button and press the STANDBY/ON button.
