I have my vsx-1018ah receiver hooked up in for 7.1. Everything was fine for months. Now the back right speaker won't work. Speaker is fine, connection is good. Tried hooking up a different speaker and cable to that terminal and nothing. Is the amp geeked?

Assuming you're using the Surround Back speakers for their primary purpose, let's establish that there is something in the way of programming being routed to that speaker. Fire up the speaker level setup procedure and use any handy audio device (*) to see if a signal is present at the Surround Back Pre Out jack. If not, that speaker will never, uh, speak.

* For this test you could use your powered subwoofer. You DO have one, right? Just swap the RCA cable from Sub W Pre Out to the SB R Pre Out jack to see if anything appears there.

If you are able to remove the outer metal cover . Some good amps had fuses for the speakers. Worth a try. Pioneer is a decent amp.

Hello,
Thanks for the detailed explanation...
It seems to be there is a short or misplaced (+) (-) leads on the speaker connection you made..sometimes a tiny cable piece can make a short in between the leads and cause such problem..My recommendation is:
** take all the wires off..
** install only B speaker leads and test it..( make sure LEFT and RIGHT (+) and (-) leads properly
and individually connected to the right places on the back......it is important...This causes balancing problem..
** if it works fine...
** than go ahead and install the A speaker leads..and test it..
if you do everything properly both A and B speakers should work fine as independently ...

Take care and if it succeeds please Remember to rate/vote and give me 4 Thumbs Up

Have a Pioneer VSX-1018 receiver. When I connect

You speakers are out of phase. Check to see if the polarity is correct on the receiver and the speaker. Positive (red) with positive, negative with negative (black). Also check the impedance of the speaker, it should be located on the back of the speaker measured in ohms. Make sure that your receiver matches the impedance of your speaker. You can find this in the settings of the receiver.

PIONEER VSX-1018AH NO SOUND OUTPUT

If this is a new hookup be sure this amp doesn't have pre-out/main-in jacks that may need to be bypassed. Otherwise, maybe look to see if any tape deck buttons are pushed. Good luck.

Pioneer VSX-1018AH-K 7

Check if Zone 2 is 'On' if it is set it to 'Off' using the front panel button. Hitting the 'Recieiver' and 'Setup' buttons is the correct way to set the system up.
