Receiver works great; speaker connectors for speakers A & B seem to have lost their "spring" and will not hold the speaker wires in place. Can these be replaced by a consumer? Can the new binding posts be used?
I use to have that problem and what i did was to strip more wire. Then fold the bare wire over a few times and try poking it in there. Maybe you can wrap some foil around the wires also. Must be foil with metal on both sides, not a ciggerette pack. You may also try a pencil eraser. Cut it in the shape of a wedge and try and push it into where the springs are this could work similar to the spring.

I you wanna rip out the old clips and make a mounting plate for the binding post or banna plugs then go for it BUT I would recomend to contact pioneer at the link below first to see what they cost as its always good to keep things with original parts.http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/co...

Thats trick with putting more on the wire is only a tempoary fix and wont last. once the springs start to give then its downhill from there. yopu could even take a soldering iron and jam it inside the connectop and let solder flow in and insert a wire and solder it in but that as well is not a way I would fix someting! If your gonna fix it fix it righ the first time.
Good Call Wenny!!! and shouldnt be any trouble as long as you dont cut off the wires to short as they assy that unit with the right lenth needed I would go in and cut the wire wraps and restrenths so you can pull the wires out a bit. Good Luck

SOURCE: Pioneer VSX-505S Subwoofer Installation
That type of subwoofer is not used with this receiver. This receiver actually outputs no power for a subwoofer, therefore only needs a plain ol' rca signal wire. This is due to the fact that you need a powered sub... one that you plug in to the wall and it has its own built in amp. you simply run an rca from yyour 505s to that sub.

SOURCE: pioneer receiver vsx d814 amp error
The Pioneer VSX-D814 has a couple of Power Hybrid bricks that do all the power amplification. These are the infamous PAC011A. You should have 2 of those in your receiver.
If the amp detects some unusual activities, it may shut down the unit to prevent damage. “Amp Err” usually means some DC in the output.
Disconnect all the speakers and turn on the unit; if it acts normal, reconnect speakers one set at a time very carefully. If the unit still shows the error message you can try to reset it. If the reset works, again carefully reconnect the speakers connections. If the reset does not recover the normal operation of the unit, you may have one of the PAC011A damaged, and the unit will need repair.
The reset can be done by disconnecting the unit power cord for a few minutes, then plug it in and press “FRONT ENTER key + ADVANCED SURROUND key” continuously for 2sec.
Good luck

SOURCE: pioneer vsx-519 no sound from center and surround
Make sure that the sound field/programme you have selected is dolby digital not stereo.(On the amp)
You also need to check on the display that is says DIGITAL not ANOLOUGE, as only a digital input, Optical fibre cable, HDMI, COAX will be a digital signal.
If you are using red and white rca connectors, it is not going to work, as this is an Anolouge signal.

I have ordered the replacement parts as that seems to be the best long-term solution. Now I have my fingers crossed that I can replace the part without too much trouble!
