Pioneer VSX 916

SOURCE: Pioneer VSX-D608 Optical connection

Do you have the original remote for the receiver? You need the remote to set up the optical settings according to the manual there is a fair bit of things to do to set it up reply if you do have the remote then I will post up word for word on how to change the settings but without the remote you basically cant do much with it sorry

hope this helps

If you have just one pair of speakers hooked up and have both A & B speakers selected you won't get ANY sound out of unit, so check that?

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

Rear Surrounds are not supported on this unit, they would be the 6th and 7th channels in a 7.1 rig. I think you mean Surrounds (channels 4 and 5 in a 5.1 rig).

Lets ponder: How is there any relationship between Surrounds and your separately-amplified Subwoofer? I don't see it, unless you inadvertently chose OFF for the Sub definition when you were in the Speaker selection menus adding the Surrounds. Look again.
