- In this video, I demonstrate how to reset a Pioneer Receiver Model VSX-821 to factory settings. These receivers should be showing up at your local thrift store or charity shop as of June 2018 as people upgrade to newer models supporting 4K. Also you can increase the longevity of all your plug-in electronics with just one cool trick! My XR10X Sharp Projector has worked way beyond its life expectancy using this technique.

How to reset a VSX-1020:
Switch the receiver into standby mode by holding down "Band" and then pressing and holding the "Standby/On" button for about two seconds. When you see "Reset?" appear on the display, press either the left or right arrow button or the "Auto Surround/Stream Direct" button until "OK?" is displayed.

Omgoodness, so thankful I found this video. Fixed my audio issues in less than a minute after spending 3+ hours. Thank you!!
$15? I paid $200! I actually watch your videos with Chromecast on the 821-K. It’s worked perfectly for 6 or 7 years now.
I had a VSX-1020-K I gave to a friend. I upgraded to Pioneer's Andrew Jones speakers and MCACC just did not work well with them. No matter how many times I ran the calibration, they actually sounded worse with it on. Tried using Audessy on a Denon AVR-2113CI and the results were incredible.
Thanks for this useful upload. You got a real bargain. I'm now very happy with mine, thanks.
What 5.1 Speakers do you recommend with the VSX-821 ?
My VSX 821 K pioneer device is also failing to display the screen. Music function is normal. Is it okay to reset it in your own way?
Any advice on fixing distorted/buzzing Right A and Right B channels? The rest of the channels work perfectly
Hello I was wondering the reset of a pioneer VSX-92TXH?
Thank you I cannot hear my audio again best video ever
Thank you for the video also works with the vsx-1022 that's what I had and came across your video thank you I reset it the same way you showed on the other one!
Working well for you now?
Your setup is incredible, and that laserdisc, I fell in love with it since I saw the video you made about it, I gave my like here before I even finished watching it ^^
Thank you, really helped
I have the very similar VSX-819 that I bought in 2008. I've used it almost daily for watching tv, movies and sirius radio through a bluetooth adapter. I bought one of the 4k players that has separate audio and video hdmi outputs so I can send the 4k signal straight to my tv. No Atmos of course but I'm in no rush to have to buy a new receiver AND speakers. It's probably in it's twilight years but I've never had an issue.
Hi. I have vsx 819 too. Which Bluetooth adapter did you use,
Is there most pioneer receiver will use audyssey microphone system for calibration?
You ever hook up a nuc pc to it. I'm asking cause am about to. need some help.
Life saver!!!! Wish I could give you several likes!!🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲
Hello, maybe you know how to switch pioneer tuner broadcasting from Japan mhz to European? Mine simply switched to Japanese mhz and i cannot listen to local radio stations
Thanks a lot this method worked for my 921 also
After resetting, I've attempted to turn on the arc,but have been unable. I'm lost as to how to set it up after resetting it. Any help is appreciated.
Hello, there is a pioneer vsx 329 model that I am using, I am having a voice problem alone, it detects on the remote control, but when it is put into ac usb mode, tv mode or radio mode, there is no sound from the device and it freezes when it resets.
How do you enable ARC if you don’t have a remote ????? I was able to reset the receiver but can’t get the audio to play from my TV apps
I bought open box vsx-834 no remote.. just bought one from ebay, how do i sync it?
my name is Lambert, I want to ask? if the pioneer vsx821 amplifier sufwafer doesn't sound, why? thanks.
Thanks so much, very helpful video its fixed my audio problem 😀
What problem did you have? Mine 821 is working right, what could be the reason that make you reset?
I did these steps to fix the HDMI sound issue but it didn't fix the problem. What's the next step could be expensive?
Hi, thanks for the video. I have a VSX-821 and the left channel is giving me problem. It is much softer than the right channel. I had ruled out cable and speaker problem. As a result, I had to increase the gain on the left to +16dB manually as compared to -3dB on the right to get the correct balance, a difference of about 20dB!! My question is, would a factory reset fix the problem?
Yes it does. Fixed my VSX-832 with the same problem. Left channel was down about 6 db. First I ran the calibration mic and l and r channels were the same so it's in the software, not the amps.
Thank you. This helped me out!!
Wow the factory reset worked great for my 4k pioneer now I have sound coming through hdmi ports.
Leaving electronics switched on 24/7 is far better for long term lifespan. Avoids thermal shock stress on power supply connections, keeps capacitors from drying out.....I had to sign a document from the supplier, when I purchased a mixing desk for a radio station, saying that it would be left running continuously, in order for the 10 year warranty to remain valid. Generally electronics prefer to remain on for long term reliability. My pc stays on all the time, (as it’s a media server at home) 9 years and counting.....
Q❤❤
My Pioneer Sc Lx86 from 2012 has a sticker stating 4K pass through .
I wonder if in 2018 that is valid still?
The "passthrough" models usually mean that one single port on it will allow the full HDMI stream to go through to the TV. My older (similar to the one in this video) "3D passthrough" only has one HDMI port that works for this. The other HDMI ports all have 1080i/no-3D maximum.
Thanks a lot for this video. I love it.
So question: I have a similiar av pioneer vsx530 got for free. Im using for two channel listening. My question when connected to tv either by arc 3 hdmi or just headpone (tv) out to receiver via analog cable I get this annoying DIGITAL BLINKING LIGHT THAT i CANNOT MAKE GO BYE BYE!! any suggestions???.
That works for me! Thank you! From Florianópolis, the best place to be!
At the second time.
R u planning to get 4k stuff
How to make it show 5.1 7.1 and more something on screen reciever helpme please
I have the VSX 822 k and recently I noticed very few buttons work, I can only use the Input buttons to change the source and the Signal Select button, nothing else works not even the power button. I reset the receiver and I've tried pressing every button on the remote with various combinations of the Receiver button and others.
Any reason why i am unable to reset my vsx 324? It has the flashing hdmi (white text) and flashing digital. It did have the flashing red hdmi but that changed to the white text, radio works fine. So the issue is this; while in game mode i only get audio intermittently during the flashing hdmi (audio cuts in and out, no video). I swapped out the hdmi cables and ran the hdmi from ps4 straight into tv and i get video and audio like normal. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Hi mate I have a pioneer streio receiver how do I reset it I got rid of my amplifier does this need it for radio as it worked for couple weeks on its own its a SX-20? ?I Have tried few videos but its just stand by mode so powers on just no display can you help me as I don't want to uy another amplifier if this won't work without it as radio worked for a short time and I thought maybe needs amp for power but powers button is on 🤔🤔🤔
I have this unit and for some reason after about an hour or two it automatically shuts off. Why? Or how to I fix this?
Do you know why my receiver can't see the display? it could be repaired.
I found a Pioneer VSA-E 06 on the side of the street.
It didnt work, but it was a broken hidden fuse, so now it works.
It doesnt have HDMI but the sound quality is very good.
Its also made in japan, so no cheap stuff from china
Do you know how use bluetooth module AS BT 200 with vsx 821???
I´d love to know if there are some alternative Bluetooth adapters for them. I´d need to pay at least 100 bucks for an original one..
I have the VSX-528 and it has a weird problem with the display. Sometimes its working fine, but suddenly it starts displaying weird stuff. Does anyone have an idea where this problem is coming from?
For a VSX-LX303 answer straight from the manual:
1. While pressing the AUTO/DIRECT button on the main unit, press STANDBY/ON.
2. "Clear" is displayed on the display, and the unit returns to the standby state. Do not remove the power cord until "Clear" disappears from the display. To reset the remote controller, while pressing and holding MODE, press the button at least 3 seconds until the remote indicator blinks twice.
I reset and it works np.....How can I do a test ..I do not have a remote?
I have a vsx-53 and have a ue22 error code, what do I do?
My Pioneer VSX-51 has the "advanced MCACC" light flashing, and this command does not work. What do I do?
Thank you very much!
THANK YOU THANK YOU! Thanks soo much.
Good Afternoon guys. I decided to make a cinema at my home and then I bought a VSX 80 and connected it to an Optama projector and apple tv.
Everything was working correctly, but two days ago, after some heavy rains in my city, suddenly it stopped showing the image, transmitting only sound.
I tried to remove and put the HDMI to check if it was not bad contact, but it also don’t worked.
Does anyone have any possible solution to this problem?
Thank you!
There are even cheaper 32K 12-D TV eyesocket implants you can get online. Or you can still get the crappy 8K 6-D knock off models for only 10 Bubblechips. They are RFI Implant Compatible. But you'll need to connect to Templevision's old servers through a cellphone tower line. The 32K can connect through and active phone jack in a house with the Fountainhead 2.2 box. But yeah. Don't leave it plugged in. It'll just slowly melt into your system, and then you'll have to visit your local K. Richards center to get a flush & fill.
Do you know how to reset a vsx-1130k ?
I have a Pioneer VSX-921 just turned off. Won’t turn back on. Dead. Any suggestions?
thank you sir for this video,God bless..
I had a 921
821, 921, 1021 etc...all with the same problem. It will start not powering up properly if it doesn't already considering the price.
after setting up my pioneer with my projector via hdmi cables the image is compressed and projector wont allow me to adjust aspect, anyone help?
I’m trying to get my head unit (the one shown) set up so I doesn’t treat my HUGE speaker like a baby and my sub
I have 27” of sub I want to get working
Best wishes with your head unit!
Cool, I have the 1019...a huge beast with multi zone. However I sadly retired it with a much smaller Sony that has some features the 1019 just didn’t have because of its age
May I ask what sony reciever did you switch too?

pioneer VSX-1020 pqls flashing--- Had no problems over past 11 years until the past couple of weeks. We now have a repeatedly shuts down and the blinking PQLS red light and will not power on. But when I power unplug and re-plug there is click in sound which show it was ON but only show blinking PQLS red light nothing else. I tryed all speaker and HDMI unplug but same as it is.
Thank you very much.
Nice! Only not understand why my remote work perfectly, but Only volume botton dont work why?
Thanks!
Databits has suggested completely turning off power to your electronics when not in use to preserve your electronics. ( capacitors, resistors, etc.) This is generally true. The downside is that many/most electronic pieces will dump all your personal settings. And you will have to re-set everything when powering back up.
I feel glad that most of my equipment (the two blu-ray players, the hifi components, and the AV receiver) are connected via a master switch (when turned off this switch cuts power to the majority of the equipment, I can also individually turn on and off items from the switches on the sockets)
the computer monitor, desktop PC, and KVM switch are not connected up to the master switch though
My VSX-821 doesn’t power on at all. Any suggestions?
I have a Pioneer SC1222. The sound cuts out randomly. You think reset can help?
It might.
@@databits no luck
I've got pioneer vsx 828, it is an excellent receiver. It has been working perfectly but since a day ago, when I turn off the receiver the hdmi red light indicator keeps on flashing on and off. And when its doing that I cant even switch the receiver on. The stand by button wont work. Anyone knows what could be the problem?
I got just the same problem do you've a solution for this ?
Thanks for this video. It helped out because my left speaker had soft volume. But now how the hell do I get rid of this annoying demo mode?!?
did you find the answer for this ?
I have vsx329k... amazing sound... 😊
Why is the HDMI button blinking. Does it always do that?
The readout "Playstation 3" setting jumps off by itself when I try to play a movie. Hoping Resetting it will return it to the original valid setting. It always worked before for years.
I've got a 50" Toshiba old school DLP TV and a 40" Dynex LCD both purchased in 2004 that are still running strong. They are both used everyday for hours and hours and I've never unplugged them. I guess I've just had good luck with crappy electronics from China.
I also have a Toshiba DLP rear-project TV. New bulbs are cheap, and it still looks great. The only downside is that while it has "1080p DLP!" prominently silk-screened on the front, it only accepts up to 1080i input. So even though its DLP is in theory 1080p, I have no way of getting 1080p content to it. Which is annoying, because most modern devices now *ONLY* have progressive. So if your TV doesn't support 1080p, it goes down to 720p rather than 1080i.
what about ht 076 home theatee mine has no band button NGSW 4 K blinking error
HELP !!!!!! 😩😩😩😩
Thanks brooo
Thanks brother I like your video. I was getting very stressed cuz I have this one is making me mad it's not working sometimes it's coming off sometimes it's going off the sound is not coming from the TV so I'm getting mad
I find leaving everything like this plugged in and powered through a surge suppressor / power conditioner to be the best way for them to last; to go through the start up process every time is very hard on electronics.
Brett Schiewe Plus many recent electronics run routines to look after themselves when in standby. It definitely used to be a good idea to turn this stuff off though unless you're using them all the time, especially because older AV equipment did have pre-heaters and such that would run in standby.
I feel doubtful that a single TV lasting 8 years is proof that it works, I've used plenty of TVs dating to 2006 that were only unplugged from standby in thunder storms and they're still working fine. I don't know where this idea that TVs plugged in all the time die after 5-7 years came from, although that does match with the average replacement cycle and extended warranties.
Obviously while "one" isn't a strong sample size for arguing either way, I've known someone recently kill a TV by switching it off at the mains every time it was turned off (instead of nightly) and the intense startup process of TVs from the past dozen or so years ended up killing it within two months. It had been unable to run its maintenance procedures and went through rapid cooling and heating of components multiple times a day without standby regulation.
Obviously doing it nightly isn't going to cause so much stress, but I feel like the example given at the end about Alexa did suggest turning on/off by the socket for everything as convenience, which can definitely be a bad idea. A vintage VCR or LD player is going to be fine, but for any device that boots up.. it could have a bad time.
@@kaitlyn__L Well said! A hard shut down is never good and should always be avoided.
thank you so much!!!!! Muchas gracias
Welcome!
Tenho um desse. Uma pena que caiu muita água e ficou sem áudio... não sei onde consertar
I have a what looks like a identical receiver, but its named vsx 923. And this does not work on mine..
I have a 923. You need to press the power and enter button at the same time. then it ask's you do you want to reset yes or no
Trying to reset my VSX 919 AH ? Can you help please ?
The procedure may be different for your model or may not work to reset.
Thank you
I’ve got a vsx 924 bought it off eBay 180 £ No video coming from it can anyone help
Very smart turn power off otherwise they always are on in stby mode when plugged in.
I don’t have band button same model
How do you turn off the demo.?? Nice trick but I wish I hadn't done it. Now I have this stupid demo mode. Sucks
Mine does not appear either, I already tried in many ways ..
My receiver won’t let my phone connect to it now. It just randomly disconnected from my bluetooth, now it won’t come on my phone anymore. It keeps saying “ Receiver Air.”
ANYONE ... I own this VSX-821 .... The remote will not adjust volume on the receiver ..... it does everything else except affect volume... anyone know how to solve or fix this ?
I am also having this same issue it just started happening after a recent reset hoping there’s a fix soon
Take apart the remote and clean the circuit board and the underside of the rubber buttons with isopropyl alcohol. Good as new.
Also works on vsx-330, tested
Please help I did something and now it's broken lol I tried to reset it and now it's not playing at all. I just wanted my sub to work again on this rainy Friday waaaaaaaa
So sorry to hear that! Did it come back to life? If not, leave it unplugged for a few days and try the reset again.
How one my pioneer vex 821 doesn’t reset?
If you already had a 7.1 model why did you get the new one?
Maybe because it was only $15?
Pasi123 good point. :)
Reset Pioneer VSX-321-K-P : same procedure.
$15 is such a killer deal! I got my VSX-922 for $166 second hand and not 100% working properly (no USB and Ethernet) :(
I had my vsx-922 receiver reset once I bought it, the method are indeed different from yours
