you most likely have a short in the amp.

PIONEER SC-LX56 flashing blue MCACC light

Pressing 'down arrow' + 'Multizone On/Off' button together for 2/3 seconds worked for me and powered up the amp. No factory reset was needed it just started working. It had been out of use for several weeks because of this issue.

Your unit has a condition known as DC Offset, meaning a damaged amplifier. For more information, or should you have any further questions, please visit my website at audioserviceclinic.com. You may contact me through the website. Thank you.

try holding the "TUNE -" button and the ZONE 2 on/off button and see if it turns on. If its turns on, but turns back off again, you either have a problem with your speakers (try disconnecting them) or there is a problem with the receiver that needs to be repaired.

Yes turned on but amp error then shuts off

"enter and advanced surround keys"? I don't see that documented as a special function in the manual.

BTW: other than the Flashing light, is there a malfunction?

Page 72 describes how it REALLY resets...

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.

1 Switch the receiver into standby.

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

3 When you see RESET? appear in the display, press ENTER .

OK? shows in the display.

4 Press SYSTEM SETUP to confirm.

OK appears in the display to indicate that the receiver has been reset to the factory default
settings.

hold the tune down (-) button and multi zone on/off button for two seconds then receiver should reset on the VSX-1019AHK model!!!

you can "release" the error by pressing the "down arrow" and the "zone 2 on/off" for 2 seconds.
