Problems with the Pioneer SC- LX56 Amp!!
Oh no! I never expected Pioneer amps to be faulty. Hope yours gets sorted soon.
Was nearly tempted to get a Denon maybe the 3313 but I do love pioneers, i'll be patient 
The Denon will match your blu ray player very well! 
Michael,
How have you got your subwoofer connected to this amp? And if your using just line level do you get sub bass in stereo mate?
Cheers
Sorry meant to say "your amp" :-/
Jase, sorry missed your post.
I have the sub connected by one cable at line level.
I use the amp in direct mode not pure direct, the direct mode allows the sub, pure direct does not.
I hope you get this sorted, the Pioneer is a great amp.

And what size are your speakers set at? Small or Large?
I didn't get to try direct mode only used pure direct for stereo, so i'll try if I ever get a working 56 !!
You've got brilliant REL subs. Set your speakers to small to give them a good workout.
I experimented once flicking back and forth from small to large and found that by setting my speakers to large sounded better 
I honestly thought at the time that small would make my sound more deeper and fuller etc but it was the other way round.

No probs Michael thought you may see it sooner or later

I have my speakers set to small and 80Hz crossover, the Apex cannot go low enough on their own.
I would agree with BB and set them to small.

When you did your MCACC set up what did it set your speakers to Small or Large??
Thanks

The MCACC has always set them to large.Change them to small and re run the MCACC, firstly Go into Manual SP Setup and change the SP settings Crossover 80Hz and speakers to small. Assuming your speakers can handle this frequency. Re run Auto MCAAC but select custom, and then select Keep SP settings. I will ask the team to pass on my email address to you and I will send you more details.

I've had a LX56 since early feb this year. After a month of enjoying a truly wicked sound experience, one day got a sharp noise from the speakers and the amp shut down with nothing but the Advance MCACC bluelight continually flashing.
Wouldnt turn back on for love nor money. Receiver got replaced by retailer asap which was great service.
3 weeks down the line and ive had the same problem with the second receiver.
First time was using a surge protector, and none of the other equipment got kicked off, it was only the amp that shut down, so couldnt put it down to that or everything would have turned off.
Second time it happened had receiver plugged into the mains directly.
Totally baffled, as all my other AV equipment has had no issues at all, so it cant be power supply related.
Have i just been very unlucky and had 2 faulty amps from a bad batch?
Anyone else had this issue with this receiver.
Am now at the end of my teather and am thinking of switching to the Denon AV3313.
Thanks
