She's beeeeeeeeeeautiful to look at - problem is, she has no output. 
I have no idea why, because everything else seems to work just fine. Switching, display, remote operation - all fine.
She's a beast, too. Here are the specs:
Processing:
* Dolby Digital and dts Decoding
* THX Ultra Certified
* 24-bit Digital Processing Chain for absolute accuracy
o Crystal 24-bit A/D Converters
o Motorola 24-bit Digital Signal Processor (DSP56362)
o Burr Brown 96k / 24-bit D/A Converters
* Digital Signal processing to re-create different acoustical environments. Modes include: Hall 1, Hall 2, Jazz, Dance, Theater 1, & Theater 2
* Advanced Theater
* Midnight Mode
* Digital Noise Reduction
Power:
* Direct Energy MOSFET Amplifier Design
* 6 ohm design for added stability (with Extruded Aluminum Heat Sink and High Tolerance parts)
* Stereo: 120 watts per channel (20 Hz to 20 kHz, @ 6 ohm, 0.09% THD)
* Surround: 120W x 5 (20 Hz to 20k Hz, @ 6 ohm, .09% THD)
* 6 ohm load capability guaranteed
Convenience Features:
* Multi-Room / Multi-Source
* 6 Channel Decoder Input
* Illuminated SMART Remote Control
* On-Screen Display
* Built-in AC-3 RF Demodulator
* Front A/V Input (with S-Video)
* Loudness Curve
* Electronic Bass and Treble Controls
* Direct Switch
* FL Display Dimmer (3 steps to create the theater atmosphere)
Terminals:
* 4 Digital Inputs and 1 Digital Output
* AC-3 RF Input
* 5 Audio Inputs ( Tuner, Phono, CD, Tape1/MD, Tape 2/Mon.)
* 5 Audio/Video Inputs (DVD/LD, TV/SAT, VCR 1, VCR 2, Video (Front))
* S-Video Switching (with S2 Compatibility): All video Terminals
* Banana Speaker Terminals (All channels)
* Pre-Amplifier Outputs (Front L, Front R, Center, Surround L, Surround R, Subwoofer)
* Multi-Room Audio and Video outputs
* Pioneer SR Input and Output for System Integration
* Multi-Room IR Input
* 3 Rear Panel AC Accessory Outlets
Tuner Features:
* AM/FM Tuner
* Random Presets for 30 AM/FM Stations
* 3 Speed Tuning
I've already replaced her with a Sony ES unit, so she's just taking up space here. If you already have one, or want to invest in getting this one fixed. Let me know.
MSRP was $1650. I'll let you have her for $300 OBO. Thanks, all.

Have you opened it? Maybe it's a $0.30 fuse...._________________________________________________

No. I haven't opened it. I suppose it could be...

Yeah, don't take a $500+ hit for something that could be an easy fix. Take the time to check it out, check the fuses as mentioned, clean the contacts / speaker outputs, call and harrass Pioneer tech support until they give you some ideas, check all the wires, cables, etc.

If it doesn't work. . . that would be a HUGE preamp, but probably a very good pre/processor for $300, nonetheless.

I'd buy it, but I can get one on e-bay for around 130-150 they all have and output problem as I have been reading
