    Pioneer vsx920 lock

    Hi. Sorry because my bad english. I bought a receiver (vsx-920). If i plug the unit in the ac outlet, i hear that a relay clicks, hdmi led blinks, after relay click again. Then i power up the unit. Unit is powering on. But if i press any button or rotate input selector or volume on the screen write PANEL LOCK. I able to use the main on/off and the zone on/off. Anything else is PANEL LOCK. I have remote, but no reaction from unit if i press any button on remote. Yet i searched internet and found a software or via telnet i am able to disable the key lock and the remote lock. But to use software or telnet i need ip address. But i don't know the ip of the unit. I think that dhcp is turned off, because in router i don't see the mac address of the unit. I am tried all combination of keys, but because the lock i don't able to reset the unit or update firmware. In the manual wrote that with speakers+on/off keys i will turn off the lock, but no reaction. I don't know what i do.

    Try this:

    To unlock the “RESET [LOCK] you simply go into “Standby” mode - hold the “Speaker” and “Standby” buttons for 10 seconds and “Key Lock Off” is set.

      Or if the previous trick doesn't work, try with these steps (assuming you have the IP address of VSX920):

      Use a computer that is in the same network (whether via WLAN or LAN cable).

      1. Estabish a telnet connection to the receiver; this is quite simple.
      With older computers with Linux or Mac, it is sufficient to enter telnet <IP> via the command prompt / terminal. For Windows computers that do not know this command just download the small free programme Putty and then use it to establish a connection. Enter the IP address of the receiver.

      2. If a connection has been established, you will see a lot of characters if something is running on the receiver. This should not bother you.

      3. No matter what it shows and if, when you type, the receiver sends something in between and your command looks funny, just type 0PKL (if the remote control no longer works because of the lock) 0RML.
      This deactivates the lock. As a confirmation, exactly the same command will come back in the terminal.
      If you want to activate the lock, e.g. if you are having a party in your living room and don't want anyone to play with the receiver, simply follow the same procedure and type 1PKL instead of 0PKL.
      The receiver panel is then locked (if you want to lock your remote control, type 1RML and confirm with Enter).

        I also found a Windows APP that will allow you to control your VSX920 and even toggle the PANEL LOCK function. You can download it from this link:

            Pioneer VSX-44 receiver HDMI dropouts
            by RatherLoopy
            I have an older Pioneer receiver (VSX-44) that's been dropping the HDMI output (black screen) for a few seconds every few minutes. Setup is HTPC -> Pioneer DVD HCMI in -> Pioneer HDMI out -> Samsung TV HDMI in, all with cheap HDMI cables that have never caused trouble before..

            I initially found a lot of play in the receiver's HDMI inputs and output so I kind of squeezed them back into shape and they're making a tighter connection, but the problem persists.

            And also, often, the HDMI will drop out in exactly the same way (black screen) just as my central air...

            Pioneer VSX-3300 Receiver Wont Power On
            by thetonywarren
            Have a colleagues Pioneer VSX-3300, it wont power on, hasnt for a number of years, but just now trying to figure out what's going on with it.

            It has 120V input and I have followed that 120V to a small board that appears to have a small transformer and a relay among a few other components I dont think the relay is changing state which I believe turns on the receiver, but this is all speculation.....

            I have downloaded the repair guide, which I have attached to this post, but I am having a hard time following it.... Can someone please offer any advice on what to check?...

            Repair of an LG split AC system indoor unit PCB
            by ngml
            I am trying to repair an LG split AC indoor unit, which does not start and gives a CH05 error code.
            This indicates an error in the communication between the outdoor and the indoor unit.
            The outdoor unit is fine, so the problem is the indoor PCB.
            The indoor unit is an LG PC09SQ NSJ (3SNM09JA2FA), and the PCB has the following type number: EAX35907219-1.2 (see photo1)
            I changed optocouplers ICO1X & ICO2X and the NPN transistor S9013 which drives optocoupler ICO2X (see photo2), but this did not remedy the fault.

            Does anybody have the schematics of this board,...

            i bought a use console from ebay fixed it and it has parental lock. seller wasn´t helpful and nintendo either cause they don´t support used devices as they told me per mail. thanks for the bad support here in germany. was totally upset as i read the answer to my mail from 1 week ago.... there was no other way to get rid of that code rather than modding the console cause i didn´t even had the device id as it´s a patched V1 and for getting masterkey on salthax there is the need to type in the device id which was unknown in this case... i did a mistake. after the repair i entered my wlan and...
