I have a Pioneer VSX-1022 receiver. I was setting a FireTV to control it. FireTV turned it off but couldn’t turn it back on. I held down the Adv Surround button and the Standby button and it came back on. Seemed to be working fine. Turned it off. Came back later to watch some TV and t wouldn’t turn on. I had to do the Adv Surround/Standby combo again. Turned on. Any idea what is happening here?

To program your Sanyo GXDB remote to work with your Pioneer Elite VSX 33 receiver, you can try the following steps:

1. Turn on the Pioneer Elite VSX 33 receiver manually using the power button located on the receiver itself.
2. Hold down the "Code Search" button on your Sanyo GXDB remote until the LED light on the remote stays lit or blinks.
3. Press the "TV" or "DVD" button on the remote, depending on which device mode you want to program the receiver to.
4. Enter the corresponding code for Pioneer receivers. You can find a list of Pioneer remote control codes in the instruction manual that came with your Sanyo GXDB remote or by searching online. Enter the code using the number buttons on the remote.
5. Point the remote at the Pioneer receiver and press the "Power" button. If the receiver turns off, it means the remote has been successfully programmed. If not, repeat the process using a different code from the list until you find the one that works.
6. Once the remote successfully turns off the receiver, press the "Code Search" button again to save the code. The LED light on the remote should turn off or stop blinking.
7. Test the remote by pressing other buttons, such as volume up/down or channel up/down, to ensure it is functioning properly with your Pioneer Elite VSX 33 receiver.

If you're still having trouble programming the remote, consult the instruction manual that came with the Sanyo GXDB remote or contact Sanyo customer support for further assistance.

“My pioneer VSX-531 volume turn download” download VSX-531 service manual and look for a volume control IC and check voltage supply if it is correct. If correct, check volume output,treble and bass waveforms to see if they are correct. If not, replace the IC. If not fixed, replace volume control.

I have the same issue. Any resolution to this?

These models have a problem where it is very easy for the tuner pcb to become disconnected from the main pcb. About the only way I've found to fix it, is to take the back panel completely off and reseat the board.

Your unit is locked in protection mode. Hold the advanced surround button and the power button to turn it back on. If it shutdown right away, then you shorted out the amp and need to take it in for repair.

"enter and advanced surround keys"? I don't see that documented as a special function in the manual.

BTW: other than the Flashing light, is there a malfunction?

Page 72 describes how it REALLY resets...

The SP off message is the setting for turning the speakers off while headphones are connected on some Pioneer models. If yours is one such model, hold down the RECEIVER button and press the SPEAKER (text may be written above another main function) button on the remote simultaneously and the sound should return.

I have vsx-d812 that has an AMP ERR in error menu. the troubleshooting was found to be Q696 and Q697 in the DC prot. area on "C" board, up near front toward diplay in center of c board. You can get access to error codes on VSX pioneer unit by pressing "enter" and "adv. surr." simultaneously for 2 sec. The display should show what error code you are experiencing. I believe there are three diff. error codes. 1) AMP ERR 2) OVERLOAD 3) BOAD ERR (not mistyped) I hope this helps pinpoint error code for ya.
