If your Pioneer VSX-329 receiver is stuck in update retry mode and displays a connection error01 after your Denon AVR X1000 stopped midway while updating firmware, with no audio output, please follow these steps: 1. Check the connections: Make sure all the cables are securely connected between your devices and the receiver. Ensure that the HDMI cables are properly plugged in and that there are no loose strands of speaker wire touching the rear panel. 2. Power cycle the receiver: Disconnect the power plug from the outlet and wait for a few seconds before plugging it back in. This can help reset the receiver and resolve any temporary issues. 3. Check the speaker settings: If there is very little low-frequency information in the source material, adjust the speaker settings on the receiver. You can change the settings to Front: SMALL / Subwoofer: YES or Front: LARGE / Subwoofer: PLUS. 4. Verify the audio output settings: Ensure that the audio output settings of the source component are correctly configured. 5. Troubleshoot other components: Check the other components and electrical appliances being used in your setup. Sometimes, the problem may lie with a different device. Ensure that all the devices are functioning properly.

The Pioneer VSX-329 receiver may not turn on if the small red light for HDMI keeps flashing on the display. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try: 1. Disconnect the power plug from the outlet and plug it in again. 2. Check for any loose strands of speaker wire touching the back panel. This could cause the receiver to shut off automatically. 3. If the receiver suddenly switches off, check the setting for the Auto Power Down function. It may be turning off the power if the receiver has not been used for several hours. 4. After about a minute, turn the receiver back on. If the problem continues, contact a Pioneer authorized independent service company. 5. If there is very little low-frequency information in the source material, change your speaker settings to Front: SMALL / Subwoofer: YES or Front: LARGE / Subwoofer: PLUS. 6. Check that there are no loose strands of speaker wire touching the back panel or another set of wires. Reconnect the speaker wires, making sure there are no loose strands. 7. If none of the above steps solve the issue, the receiver may have a serious problem. Disconnect it from the power and contact a Pioneer authorized independent service company.
