Check to see that the A/C power cord is plugged into the electrical outlet and the power on the unit is turned "On" if the receiver will not power up. Test another appliance in the same outlet to check that it is "hot." Check the household fuse box for blown fuses and tripped breakers. Reset breakers and replace blown fuses with others of the exact same rating. If you are using the remote control, check the batteries and replace them, if necessary. As a last measure, remove the power cord from the electrical outlet and then reconnect it to try and reset the system.
The diagram that I looked at real fast did not have a lot of detail. There are filter circuits in that unit to keep the sub woofer channel in a specific range and there are circuits called op amps that drive those filters. You could have a bad filter component or a failed OP amp. IT will take special equipment to find and replace the bad part. IT could be a weak soldering connection also.
Your Pioneer unit has gone into protect mode because of component failure. Use your multimeter to check continuity and voltages at the component level. Also check for cold solder joints.
It will probably be easier to wire the sound bar to the "Audio Out"" on the TV, the DVD player to the HDMI on the TV then change the settings in the TV.
On the back of most TV's there are 'Phono Jack' connectors and newer TV's have a 'Digital Out' that uses an Optical cable to transfer the sound. Use one of these to connect the sound bar and usually anything you play through the TV will play through the sound bar.
Depending on your TV, the settings to switch to the sound bar will be in the Sound or Audio section.
Just guessing - for a considerable time amplifier output stages have often used encapsulated modules rather than discrete components. Like everything else these arrive in different qualities.
High quality amplifiers tend to use higher quality output modules - the best have built in overload protection and thermal shutdown and I expect that could be what is happening, something inside the amp is cooking and when it becomes too warm it shuts down.
I suggest you take it to the repair shop before the problem becomes really expensive.
