Hi,
Please check your power capacitor for defective and replace with new ones.

The VXS-818V shouldn't be much different....

Since the receiver itself has no sources 7.1 onboard, the question obviously involves unnamed external equipment.

Set it and any other equipment in accordance with their manual(s).

you have to make sure you are on the theater mode on your amp. that's the only time that the center speaker works

First thing to check is the Speaker Select Switch. It will say, "A" "AB" or "Both" it will be displayed on the LCD screen as well. Second if that's ok, Check the "Direct" switch. If it's on, turn it off. Generally if it's on, you will see a blue light if it's on (most receiver's)

If you still have No audio, hook up your DVD to the "Direct" input and turn "Direct" on. If you have audio then. The DSP chip is probably bad and you should take it to a shop and have them bench it first to confirm. Hope this helps

Check fuse or power supply

Test with an surround sound media ie. Blu-ray or DVD)_. Disconnect the front and all other speakers that are working to see if sound from the missing speakers are heard. If this doesn't work then start by tracing and checking all the wires from the receiver to the speakers for bad/shorted/open connections.

PLEASE VOTE IF THIS WAS HELPFUL. THANKS & GOOD LUCK.

CHECK THE CAR FUSe THAT DRIVES THE STEREO UNIT. YOU HAVE SEPERATE FUST FOR THE AUDIO DEVICE IN CAR HOOD

That model does not support audio via hdmi. That is the problem.

Here's a link to an electronic copy of the manual.
