Pioneer VSX-918V-K manual Resetting the main unit, Switching the speaker impedance, Configuration1

12Additional information

Important information regarding the HDMI connection

(VSX-918V model only)

There are cases where you may not be able to route HDMI signals through this receiver (this depends on the HDMI equipped component you are connecting-check with the manufacturer for HDMI compatibility information).

If you aren’t receiving HDMI signals properly through this receiver (from your component), please try the following configuration when connecting up.

Configuration1

Connect your HDMI-equipped component directly to the display using an HDMI cable. Then use the most convenient connection (digital is recommended) for sending audio to the receiver. See the operating instructions for more on audio connections. Set the display volume to minimum when using this configuration.

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.

1Switch the receiver into standby.

2While holding down the ADVANCED SURROUND button, press and hold the STANDBY/ON button for about three seconds.

3When you see RESET? appear in the display, press ‘ST –’.

OK? shows in the display.

4Press SOUND RETRIEVER to confirm. OK appears in the display to indicate that the receiver has been reset to the factory settings.

Switching the speaker impedance

We recommend using speakers of 8 Ω with this system, but it is possible to switch the impedance setting if you plan to use speakers with a 6 Ω impedance rating.

•With the receiver in standby, press STANDBY/ON while holding down the SPEAKERS button.

Each time you do this, you switch between the impedance settings:

•SP 6 OHM – Use this setting if your speakers are rated at 6 Ω.

•SP 8 OHM – Use this setting if your speakers are rated at 8 Ω or more.

Note

1• If your display only has one HDMI terminal, you can only receive HDMI video from the connected component.

•Depending on the component, audio output may be limited to the number of channels available from the connected display unit (for example audio output is reduced to 2 channels for a monitor with stereo audio limitations).

•If you want to switch the input source, you’ll have to switch functions on both the receiver and your display unit.

•Since the sound is muted on the display when using the HDMI connection, you must adjust the volume on the display every time you switch input sources.
