Unplug the power cord then press STANDBY/ON for 30 seconds and leave it unplugged for 10 minutes.
Plug the power cord then try to reset receiver.

To reset the receiver to factory default make sure to use the front panel controls only. Set Multi-Zone to Multi-Zone Off. Disconnect any USB devices. Set the Control with HDMI to Off

Thank you, jojesa, for your fast answer. Unfortunately I cannot do anything according to that procedure; as I said in my original post, except the ADVANCED MCACC red LED blinking, nothing else is on and no control works. I mentioned that procedure described on page 74 of manual doesn't work. On page 98 of Operating Instructions Manual, lower left corner, this issue is mentioned as a potential "serious problem" and to call a Pioneer independent service company. I would translate that there is a possibility to (hard) reset this device; I was hoping someone knows.
N.B. There's nothing wrong with receiver, just an unfortunate succession of events that led to this situation.
