Turn the unit all the way down. Now, before you try to power up again, make Absolutely Certain that there are no shorts or damaged wiring going to the speakers. Still no go? Then try to power up with no wiring attached. Good? Now just the wiring, no speakers. Make Sure that there are no wires touching! Then try speakers. If there is a problem, you'll find it .....accordianman

Same problem here VSX-916 AMP ERR

regarding the Pioneer VSX-912 blinking standby light. This is how you reset it; press the "advanced surround" and the " enter" at the same time for about 3 seconds. Make sure you press the ENTER on the reciever (its the one on top next to the small dial) If you press the "ON" instead of "ENTER" it will not work. If an error message comes on and shuts the unit down, just reset it again. This should save you some $$$$. To bad Pioneer did't put this info in the manual.

There are facilities to CHOOSE the digital assignment. I've seen where extended power loss will randomly lose custom settings. Open the manual.

Generally speaking, an amp attempts to protect itself from heat, shorts, overloads and operator exuberance by refusing to turn on or stay on.

Overloads can be from excessive periods of high output or marginally low impedance loading by the speakers; and shorts would be wiring issues or a speaker blowing up.

You should be able to feel if it's hot. WHY is it overheating? Make sure it has sufficient ventilation on all sides and that vent holes are not blocked by dust balls. Ensure the fan (if equipped) is running as designed (some only operate on demand). Clean dust and debris from it.

If the amp comes back on after cooling, you're lucky. They only have so many self-protection cycles in their lives so continuously resetting or cycling their power without addressing the cause can do more harm than good.

If it protects immediately on a cool power up you should disconnect the speaker connections and try it 'naked'. If it comes up then diagnose which lead(s) are shorted. If it does not come up the problem is internal and should be left to an experienced and competent hands-on tech.

Check for loose speaker connections at the speaker as a possible root cause for intermittent shutdown.

It won't be cheap but it will be genuine. Good luck.

Hello,

you will be needing a stereo jack which is the same as 3.5mm

Connect the jack into the headphone part of the receiver. Do not deep it in fully, just deep it in half way and both the speaker and headphone should sound the same time.

I hope you understand the above....

Good luck.

Unplug it

Hi Nate. This is the cheapest remote I can find. http://www.avukltd.com/remotecontrolsearch.php?action=send_details&item_id=463947 Hope this is some use to you.

Here is a copy of the user manual of this unit , just click HERE.

That will be the internal amplifier in the unit itself giving an error message.

Hi,
If power indicator on receiver does not lit upon plugging unit in wall socket then unplug it and check main fuse that could be blown up for some reason. replace that fuse and check receiver power.
If receiver power indicator shows power in receiver but it wont turn On fully to give sound then it is serious problem in output amplifier section of receiver. Local tv repair shop will fix it for you.
Hope these info will help you.
Thanks.

I have exaclty the same problem. DVD into comp in 1, and my Homecast HT8000 into comp in 2 on my D912.

The dvd gets a picture.

The TV does not.

Looking at the settings I have "Component video Input" set correctly.

I'll add that when I do switch from DVD to TV, I get a scrabled vision of what is on TV for about half a second befoe the TV itself says "No, I can't display that" and gives me the blue screen of 'no signal'

ICheck first the video cable at the back of receiver.

If that does n ot work , then unplug power cord and all cables , wait ten minutes and plug back.

Try replacing the cables at the back.

Try using a different type of connection cable.

If still no luck, then the unit can be faulty.
