Pioneer htz-121dvd - I need to connect HDMI input for 5.1 surround sound, how can I do it
It will probably be easier to wire the sound bar to the "Audio Out"" on the TV, the DVD player to the HDMI on the TV then change the settings in the TV.
On the back of most TV's there are 'Phono Jack' connectors and newer TV's have a 'Digital Out' that uses an Optical cable to transfer the sound. Use one of these to connect the sound bar and usually anything you play through the TV will play through the sound bar.
Depending on your TV, the settings to switch to the sound bar will be in the Sound or Audio section.
Pioneer VSX-1016V with a flashing MCACC
For me on vsx 1016 txv it was ENTER and DVR/VCR2 for 2 seconds. Blue power power button lit up. Then it went back to MCACC flashing amber. So probably blown amp.

My Poineer VSX-1020-K displays Amp
Is it hot? You can't reset reality with a switch.
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 'nekkid'. 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.
Why won't Pioneer VSX-819H reset?

It's in the manual. Page 12.
Resetting the Main Unit
Use this procedure to reset all the receiver's settings to the factory default. Use the front panel controls to do this.
1 Switch the receiver into standby.
2 While holding down the BAND button, press and hold the STANDBY/ON button for about two seconds.
3 When you see RESET? appear in the display, press AUTO SURROUND/STREAM DIRECT.
OK? shows in the display.
4 Press STEREO/A.L.C to confirm.
OK appears in the display to indicate that the receiver has been reset to the factory settings.
I have a pioneer vsx d503s and the standby light is on. But the receiver will not come on
I sounds like you may have a problem in either one of the Regulator circuits, or, one of the Power Amplifier outputs. If the protect circuit detects DC or Low Impedance on one or more of the speaker lines, it will not fire up the high power section of the power supply. Further troubleshooting will require some working knowledge of power amp and power supply circuits. I've got a .pdf copy of the Service Manual if that will help you.
Please let me know what your level of troubleshooting ability is, and whether the manual will help you.
