If it is not switching on and is getting hot initially the best thing to do is to disconnect the power from the receiver and open it up and check if there is any obvious damage such as burnt out components etc. If nothing is obvious then the various power supplies in the receiver need to be checked and then depending of what the results are, further testing would need to take place.
You will need to have a DMM (digital multimeter) and know how to use it as well as knowing how to read schematic diagrams.
To that end here’s a link to the [https://elektrotanya.com/pioneer_vsx-420-k_vsx-rs320-k.pdf/download.html|service manual] for the receiver. It has the schematic diagrams etc that will help you test the receiver voltages and the rest of the receiver.

The file specifies that you have to use [https://elektrotanya.com/pioneer_vsx-519v-k_sm.pdf/download.html|this service manual as well] in conjunction with the one above because it contains the troubleshooting flowcharts which will be of great help.It has to be downloaded the same way as the file above.

Unfortunately there is no simple fix on this one as most probably it will be down to a component level fault.

If this seems all too daunting, contact a reputable, professional electronics repair service, preferably experienced in audio receiver repairs and ask for a quote. It may be helpful if you mention that you know the location of the service manuals online if they state that they’re not familiar with your particular receiver. If they’re professional they’ll be able to work out what the problem is with the help of the manuals
