I haven't seen Lady Ayeka in a while. What gives?
He's in the witness protection plan. They changed his name and moved him to a different forum.

problem fixed.. I found another babied D1S on craigslist.. picked it up, Hooked it up, Back to rich sound! I'm a bit on the sour side about some digital research speakers i adopted.. great bass but lacks power on the high end.. tested the speakers watching Army of Darkness and listening to Rammstein.. but im hella happy again to have a good theatre setup.
I don't know much about audio systems, but I do know that no speakers have ever been connected to the center channel so how could it have blown? Could it have anything to do with the I and II (see picture of stock unit) and having to wire it a certain way? Any thoughts? Is it even worth adding a center channel with a receiver this old?
They have "Mode 1" selected.
Also, make sure that the jumper for the centre amp is not missing. Reseat it if it is there.
Just use a cable.
It sure shouldn't! I can't imagine why a jumper would make a difference.
Is the jumper the the black piece in the picture I posted? I just checked the receiver and it is missing. Would this cause the problem? If so, is this a piece I can easily find somewhere?

After reading the many positive comments about the VSX-D1S on this forum as well as others, I decided that I needed to purchase one of these...if I could locate one for a fairly reasonable price.
Well, a guy posted an ad on the local craigslist a number of weeks ago selling his D1S. In addition to the receiver, he was including the original box, owner's manual, the original CU-VSX014 remote, and another remote, a CU-AV100. I didn't see the ad for a number of weeks, but I just happened to stumble upon it when I was searching for "Pioneer." As soon as I saw it, I shot off a message to him. And now I am the proud owner of an absolutely cherry D1S, and I paid only 75 bucks for it. Yay! I just can't believe that someone else in this large metropolitan area (3 million +) didn't snatch it up first. Oh well. As they always say...you snooze, you lose!
I couldn't be happier. I have a dedicated home theater setup as well as too many other 2-channel and surround receivers to name. But I love dinkin' around with "new" A/V equipment (well, new to me anyway). And this D1S is a real keeper in my book! It's one of the best sounding receivers I've heard in a very long time (better even than my Sony GX900ES, which I am very fond of).
I too purchased a VSX-D1s brand new back in I think 1991, it did cost about $1400, mine unfortunately had a run in with a 110 outlet thru the fm antenna and went up in smoke!! It was a great receiver I liked the way you could bypass any of the internal amps with external ones if you chose to. Also haven't seen many (if any) receivers that would allow you to adjust your video signal thru the receiver. Hook a vcr or laser disc thru it, press a button and the Pioneer brought up a split screen where you could adjust the picture on one side and compare it to the non adjusted picture on the other side!! I still have the original manual if anyone would like me to scan any parts of it, also have the remote, hell had the original box up until a year or so ago. It is a great receiver would still be using it if it was still working.
