If you can read schematic circuits and have and know how to use a DMM (digital multimeter) then here’s the [https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1176318/Pioneer-Vsx-918v-K.html|service manual] for the receiver. It has the full wiring diagram for the receiver, some troubleshooting flowcharts, disassembly instructions and a parts list, so basically it has everything you need to locate and fix the problem.
