Good morning my friends
I am confuse with a pioneer vsx605s power transformer as the voltage selector switch is distroyed i wanted to bypass and connect just the 120 volts but i do not understand the setup

Hello!
Do you have a picture of the transformer with its leads? Primary and secondary?
If you can advance some information, try to indentify with a multimeter, how many primary windings do you have or it there is only one winding with multiple taps. In addition, measure all the resistances between the leads so we can try to build a map of windings/taps.
Tip: if you don't find continuity between leads, it means they belong to distintic windinds assuming there is no burnt winding.

I was trying to upload some pics but not working oit so here it is on the right side of the primary there are 3 connections label from left to right (with color code ) is red wire 120 volts the second wire (black ) has no id the third wire (brown ) has no id from the right to the left there is 3 more wires 4 has a (yellow wire) that has 240volts 5 wire ( white) has 220 Volt 6 wire ( grey ) goes to the main board while a next grey goes to the voltage switch
Hi,
Just copy and paste the pics directly over the text box. It's easy.
Try to make a schematic with the windings and post here. Just a draft on paper is enough.
As mentioned by rayma, we are playing with mains, so we need to be sure about connections.

Depends on the file type you want to post.
JPEGs can be copied and pasted into posts if they aren't too big.
If they are TIFF, or some other types then you might try converting them to JPEG.
Similar restrictions if you try to use the Attach Files option at the lower left of the edit window.

When i get home i will post the pics as i am using my phone right now think thats why it wont work
Which transformer wires go to the input voltage selector switch? Its not clear from the pics. And were does the AC line cord connect? Does it go the selector switch or where does it go? Also, can we see a straight in shot of the selector switch where is it broken. We can't see all the pins inside because the pic you posted is on an angle (and we need to see which wires are connected on the back of the switch).
Hi, it seams there is another smaller transformer that also are connected to this voltage switch.
With a multimeter, measure all the combinations between wires so as to build a map and try to understand the windings.
We need to understand if there is more than a winding or if it has a single winding with just taps.
Also check if any lead connects to the chassis or earth. Blue seams not connected to the switch.
Continuity (yes/no) and resistance (ohms) of these combinations:
