I would say check the cable version not everyone knows this but there are different version HDMI cables such as 1.0,1.1,1.2 and the newest 1.3 cable these are band-with depended cables and if you use a lower version this should work if not you might have a issue with video.

Other then that you might have a issue with the unit if all other signals are working on the monitor.. Ruling out this will be hard if you do not have another monitor to test it on. I would be conducting a test on other output monitors and see if you get any results.

It could be an external or internal short causing the problem. Try unplugging all speakers, inputs and outputs from the back( label the connections if necessary). If the unit turns on and stays on, reconnect the other components one at a time, starting with HDMI, than RCAs and speakers last. Turn on the unit between each reconnect and allow to run for a few minutes to see how it reacts. This may point to a external cause. If the unit does not turn on after the disconnect, it would point toward an internal overload, and most likely require a professional repair. If the unit has dust blocking the cooling vents, you can try blowing it out with canned air (unplug the unit before you try this). If this solves the problem, look for a better way to ventilate the unit while it is running. Good luck, Brian

I found this for the VSX918, 818. Perhaps it's similar.

The power does not turn on. • Disconnect the power plug from the outlet, and insert again.
• Make sure there are no loose strands of speaker wire touching the rear panel. This could cause the receiver to shut off automatically.
The receiver suddenly switches off and the power indicator
blinks.
• After about a minute (you won’t be able to switch the unit on during this time), switch the receiver back on. If the message persists, call a Pioneer authorized independent service company.

Are you connecting it via a USB, docking station or RCA cables( red and white plugs) ?

What does that have to do with a pioneer receiver?

No it does not have a reset. The fuse might have blowin. That is inside the reciever on the circut board.
