I have a friend with a Pioneer receiver (vsx-1017txv-k). It has HDMI connections that only do Video pass through. It doesn't do any audio pass through and he has to use an optical cable for the Dolby Digital and DTS. It doesn't support any HD Audio, but that's not really the problem. He...

So, I have a Pioneer VSX 90TXV receiver. I'm just curious about one thing. So, if I'm using the 5 channels, I should be getting around 110 Watts per speaker. If I only use 2 channels, does that mean that I still only get 110 watts for those two stereo speakers?

So, I'm really interested in getting myself the E5ti towers for my apartment. I have the TV up on the wall and the towers to the Rt and Lt with the center on a media cabinet. The speakers will be away from the wall so the ports will have enough space to "breath." You can click my sig to view...

I was just browsing through craigslist and I saw this gem in NYC. I wanted to give anyone living in the NYC area a heads up. If I didn't live in a tiny studio and already have a VTF-3.3, I'd JUMP on this deal. But here it is. I have NO relations with the seller but I have contacted him and...

So, I've given my friend my old set of large bose floor speakers, my paradigm CC-170 and a passive subwoofer. I'm even trying to give him my PA-120 but I think his wife is resisting arrest on that. LOL. So, for setup using a Pioneer VSX 520 K and only a 3.1 setup, what settings should I have...

These two components have been upgraded and I'm looking to get rid of them. The catch is that if you want them, you'll have to come to NYC to get them. If they don't sell, I'll just end up giving them to my buddy. Everything works perfectly but if you like, I can connect them so that you can...

Soooo freaking excited here. I started out with a $99 MTX 12" sub and it was alright. Then, I upgraded to the Premier Acoustic PA-120. I like the sub and it was loud enough (for my studio especially), but I felt that the bass was muddy and vague. It's the best way I can describe it. I was...

I have an opportunity to get myself a SC-25 for a great price... I'm wondering if this is really that good of a receiver to be more expensive than the VSX-23 or VSX-21 receiver. I'm planning to run the Kef iQ series of speakers with this receiver. I also know that they are coming out with a new...

I was trying to find a Pioneer Elite VSX-21TXH for a friend who is setting up his home theater. I remember them being found for around $500 and now, they're nowhere to be found. Anyone has any heads up on where I can get one? Is Pioneer coming out with some new ones or something? I know...

I've been a lurker for a while here and learning as much as I can. Here is my (budget) setup so far... TV: Samsung 40" 7000 Series Receiver: Pioneer Elite VSX90TXV Center: Paradigm CC170 Front: Paradigm Mini MK3 Surround: MCM Bookshelf (50-9085) Subwoofer: Premier Acoustic PA 120 Content...

I have a dilemma that I think you fine folks can help me with. I've searched both on this site as well as google and couldn't find anything definitive. I have installed the Ikea dioder backlight behind my Samsung LED LCD TV that is hung up on the wall. It still needs some positional tweaking...

I have a Pioneer VSX-90TXV 7.1 receiver and I have an opportunity to get $200 for it. That leaves me to upgrade to another receiver. The annoying this about this receiver is that it doesn't have HDMI audio pass through. I also want to have the HD audio decoding available. I have only two...

I have a VSX-91TXH receiver and I love it. I have a problem with the subwoofer, though. When I use a dolby digital source like HDTV or a DVD, I get great sound and the subwoofer works. However, when I use non-HD source like regular cable TV, the subwoofer does not work. I use PL II Music...

I have been setting up my home theater for some time and I have a nice and inexpensive system now. My friend came over and liked what I had. He recently was given a 3 year old Bose surround sound 5.1 system without any wires. Of course, I told him that there were many other systems that would...

I have an HD DVR from Time Warner here in NYC. I have a Pioneer VSX-90TXV hooked up to it using a 5.1 speaker setup (hooked up via an optical cable). When I use the "auto surround" feature, it checks what the source is and picks the appropriate type of digital decoding for the sound. Whenever...
