Using the Sound Retriever

When audio data is removed during the compression

compressed 2-channel audio by restoring sound pressure
and smoothing jagged artifacts left over after compression.

Yes, there is a way to configure the Pioneer VSX-1022 receiver to automatically select a specific input signal when it is turned on. Here are the steps to configure this setting: 1. Press the "Home Menu" button on the receiver. 2. Navigate to the "HDMI Setup" option using the arrow keys. 3. Select the "Control" option and set it to "ON". 4. Choose the "ARC" setting and set it to "ON" if you want the TV's sound to be input via the HDMI terminal. If you prefer the TV's sound to be input from the audio input terminals other than HDMI, set the "ARC" setting to "OFF". 5. Select the "Standby Through" setting and choose the HDMI input signal that you want to be output to the TV when the receiver is in standby mode. If you want the receiver to remember the last selected HDMI input signal, choose the "LAST" option. This can only be selected when the "Control" setting is set to "OFF".

The unit might not be getting enough power. It’s a 1000 watt receiver. I had one for years, but my old wiring started having problems. The receiver would click on and off. I had to switch to a low powered (100 watt) sound bar.
