#PIONER VSX921 MANUAL#

Someone did ask the very same question I'm asking in one of the 'Official' threads and they were completely ignored. by the title your question was actually on-topic.)īesides I hate seeing people ask for help and then get ignored.

I don't mind off-topic (slightly) discussion - after all, I came here for help. I'm also glad that you don't have the problem I'm looking for. Glad to be of assistance (if I was any ?). There are currently 1/2 dozen of them on eBay right now 'for parts or repair' with the same exact problem. The problem I'm seeing is the receiver shuts itself off every time it's powered on even with nothing attached to it. I suppose an exceptionally 'noisy' device could crash itīTW, this isn't exactly the problem I'm looking for input about. The same thing can happen to a computer if the preipherals aren't powered up first. More info and advice (from people that know more about HDMI than I do) can be found by searching 'HDMI' + model number (ie: 'vsx-521').

If your TV has any other inputs try using them. There are several reports of problems when everything runs through the HDMI ports. The HDMI boards in these receivers apparently have some issues, too. It could be noise, excessive current draw, or any of a couple of different things. It sounds like your TV is doing something the receiver doesn't like during it's power-up. * error detection count - (from OFF/STANDBY state) press & hold [PRESET

The Service Manual ( downloadable from electrotanya ) Lists a error log that can be run (if you're quick) and a reset procedure. It should be visible using a flashlight without removing the cover. This is located at the top of the 'STANDBY ASSEMBLY' in the left rear corner.

**EDIT** The final diagnosis would seem to be blown amp transistors. VSX-421-k (never seen one - maybe EU only model) I have read reports (here and elsewhere) of the same issue in the following models: The entire family in this line seems to have the same problem: the power button is pushed - the unit comes on - the unit powers itself off after about 5 seconds. I'm posting to try to find the common denominator with these models power failure issue.
