Hi, Give your views regarding The Pioneer AVRs. This thread for the Pioneer AV Receivers.

I am using a pioneer 1019 and happy with its performance. Cant review it like gurus here but dont have any interconnect or performance issues.
Planning to sell for a 3d upgrade. Have to see how much can I get for a 1 year old receiver.

It dont have 3d??

 

[gigy]

Dosen't have 3d.

Is it possible to get digital audio out from present new gen 3d tv coming in market now with hdmi1.4 and optical/coax connections?

Then I can retain this avr and connect my pc and blu-ray player to tv through hdmi and take optical/coax out from tv to avr to decode audio?

You just made me go back to this thread and i am finding some interesting post about 3d working with this receiver:clapping:

 

[kaptan]

Dont sell your good receiver. Ther is no problem in not having 3d in it. Any way u need a 3d tv fo 3d viewing. Then buy a 3d bluray player. Connect the HDMI output from the 3d bluray player to your 3d TV or projector. For sound use a coaxial or optical out from the bluray player to the Pioneer AVR. Thats all problem solved. hyeah:hyeah:

I am getting Sony STRDH810 for about 14k. I know its a degrade, but just thinking for direct 3d, not able to decide

 

[vinshar]

I also have Pioneer 919 and till now happy with the its performance...never had any issue

 

[gigy]

Any body tried playing 3d content through 1019 to see if it passed through?
I don't have a 3d display yet to check.

Have a Pioneer 519 since the last 18 months. Very easy to use, excellent performance. Not too many bells & whistles on it, that too, I have hardly made use of them ever.

Has a regular FM (always present) in the AVR ..... further connected to a DVDp, TV, a turntable, a cassette deck ... covers practically the entire spectrum of AV .....

Briefly review your AVRs sound quality please:licklips:

 

[avidyarthy]

A wee bit on the brighter side with my Wharf Moviestar 70+ ..... but, thats how I like it when watching a movie in 5.1. On 2 or 2.1 channel, music comes out super.

Technically, sound quality depends more on the speakers than the AVR. The AVR only adds its flavour .... signature to the overall sound specs.

I bought in GEB last month. Till now no problem:yahoo:

Hi Guys,
I am planning to buy either VSX1020k or VSX1021k.
What if i buy it from ebay or amazon as they price offer is quite good or should i go for some Indian Dealers. Help me guys here.

Just pulling your attention to the fact that you will need to purchase a step-down transformer if you are buying from US, since the voltage there is 120v, while in India, it is 220-230v.

 

[kaptan]

wat price u bought for 1020

 

[zervinb]

General consensus is that the speakers should cost twice as much as the AVR, as they are more important that the AVR itself, in your home theater setup.

I have paired VSX-919 with KEF satellites (got from PROFX). They sound a bit bright, but effect is nice. The KUBE subwoofer packs a punch when needed.

 

[zervinb]

MRP at PROFX was 75,000 2 years ago. I think it might still be the same. But they gave a 10% discount.

Here's the link. Model No. KHT-2005.3 with KUBE-2 subwoofer.

 

[kaptan]

Wat our budget and uneed 5.1 or 7. for your budget. Your Room Size. Give these details. So that others can give you options based upon that.

 

[kaptan]

Have u auditioned any speakers.???.

 

[kaptan]

Theirs is an group buy of Wharfedale in our forum You can check that. I dont no about Wharfedale but has good reviews. In selecting spekers do have audition. Nothing works other than that.

 

[kaptan]

I have a 7.1 Set up which consist of MS Carnival 6 speakers and Craftel center, Sub and rear surrounds( Theater module) hooked with Pioneer AVR . These rocking like anything. I have auditioned Yamaha, polk, Sonodyne, jamo speakers last month. None of these comes close to this. It feels like I was in a movie theater. IMO Please give an audition. B.T.W were are u from.
