Pioneer VSX-D509S 5.1- No voice audio on DVDs

I have a Toshiba SD-5109 DVD player and get background and music sound but no voice audio. I've confirmed it's not the player as switched players and have the same problem. I have also used the receiver speaker test tone and get sound from all speakers, center, front, rear, and subwolfer. The same condition exists when I use the headphones. I am not using the optical or coax option. The system use to work fine. TV,CDs and VHS play fine. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi,

How is the DVD player hooked up to the receiver?

    You say that the TV/CD/VHS is fine...meaning anything played from the DVD has this problem? How about regular CDs in the DVD player?

Digital signal only works on tv output not on cd,dvd,or any other setting

TV output? Do you mean the audio coming in from the TV?

Have you looked at the manual and assigned each digital input to the appropriate device? What other devices are involved and have you tried moving it/them among the working/non working digital inputs?

Pioneer VSX-D509S keeps shutting off

Aside from any intrinsic problem with your receiver, the usual suspects are;
1) Poor receiver ventilation. 2) Very high levels of bass. 3) Shorts in the speaker wiring. 4) A rubbing loudspeaker voice coil.

No Sound on TV/SAT setting on Receiver.

Most TV has Audio Out RCA jack at rear and it gives same TV Sound as coming from its speakers.
Hook audio wire red white RCA pins at TV Out and plug these pins to TV/SAT input of receiver. Select TV/SAT input in receiver to get TV program sound coming out from TV.
Hope that info will help you.

Overloads all the time under 40db.

Hi Glen. The thing with these new units is that they are so fussy when it comes to frequency range on the speakers. The frequency has to be within the range that the amplifier specifies, or you'll have problems. I suggest that you check your manual to see what the required frequency shuold be and take it from there. I have one myself and love Pioneer

I have a Pioneer DV 585A DVD player that happily plays DVDs and the background sounds seems to be fine, but on some of the DVDs you can hear the voices of the characters speaking and then on another you...

Hi edwardm1,

If you are only hearing part of the audio from your DVD player, I would suggest you check your audio settings before seeking repairs.

Audio can be encoded to a DVD in several ways. If the audio on the disc is different than the settings on your DVD player, you may not hear all of the audio layers. For example, if your DVD is encoded in 5.1 Surround Sound, but your DVD player is set only to play basic Stereo, you may only hear portions of the audio.

Try accessing the menu on your DVD player, and look for the audio settings. If there is a higher setting available than is currently selected, try a higher audio setting. A higher setting should also be compatible with lower types of audio encoding.

If this does not improve your audio, or if you need help navigating your product menus, I would recommend giving Pioneer's toll-free support line a call at (800) 421-1404.

Thank you,
Jason,
