Yes, ang alam ko, there will still be i pioneer receiver next year because Pioneer will still maintain it's name.

What are the choice pioneer av receivers released in 2014? Take note, never said the best.

For me: VSX-1224 / SC-1224 or higher would be fine for most.

i see. parang 'Marantz & Denon' pala ang magiging dating ng 'Onkyo & Pioneer'.

Haven't tried it pero parang hindi pwede eh. Ang speaker size setting is hindi kasama sa memory niya. EQ and T/A ata ang nakalagay sa memory.

Hi guys, just want to ask a question. I have a pioneer 522 that i moved to my main setup because my onkyo 608 is in the service center. So far it sounds great. However i notice when i play movies on my hard drive from my mede8er, the speakers will make a popping sound. It only happens when i press play at the beginning or when i rewind or fast forward or by pressing stop. Pag press ko stop parang fireworks sound. The Popping sounds will come out then it will disappear as the movie runs. It is weird because this is the first time that this happened. I then tried playing my lg bluray player on another hdmi input and it does not have any popping sounds. It played excellent.

What could this be? Thanks. Takot ko masira speakers ko.

Sa med8er yan. ganyan din sa akin. It happened when I updated my med8er.

Yup. I have vsx522 and mede8er and been experiencing that as well. Sa xtreamer, i did not experience that.

Thanks so much guys. Ya that is what i suspected, the mede8er. I will try my other nmt later.

By the way the pioneer sounded great. Sayang 5.1 lang siya.

Dapat hawak mo 2 remotes so you can immediately mute the Pio before performing operations on the Med8.

Try mo muna 1 sub lang with another cable. Baka sira Y splitter.

Mine is still going strong. No plans of replacing it in the near future.

Same here sir. Still using Pioneer VSX-1021-K. 10+ years na to sakin. Hehehe

This one still gives out hours and hours of great sound. No issues whatsoever.

Current AVR's look and sound puny compared to the over engineered ones a decade ago.

Elite SC 37

Lab measured by Sound and Vision magazine to produce 270 watts per channel @ 4 ohms. https://www.soundandvision.com/content/pioneer-elite-sc-37-av-receiver-ht-labs-measures

My 7 channels Dynes are pigs to drive at 4 ohms with 85db sensitivity but they surrender to this powerhouse.

synchro_01 · « **Reply #1789 on:** Jul 22, 2022 at 09:25 AM »

This model is my holy grail. Haven't seen one being sold in the US for a very long time. One unit popped up in Ebay 2 years ago but may issue sa LCD screen so the waiting game continues...

Elite SC09TX. They will not make AVR's like this anymore. Sinlaki na ng isang microwave oven yan.

Nelson de Leon · « **Reply #1790 on:** Jul 26, 2022 at 09:32 PM »

My Pioneer Elite is still serving me well. Mine was the model where you can copy the MACC auto calibration settings and transfer it to a different memory. Plus you can even edit or change it. Elites are powerhouse.

synchro_01 · « **Reply #1791 on:** Jul 26, 2022 at 11:12 PM »

Till now I haven't even explored all the functions of my Elite AVR. The manual is 148 pages. Almost everything is adjustable.

Sanay kasi ako sa basic stereo component controls. Power on, Volume...press play and enjoy. No adjustment for bass, treble, balance.

rhodem24 · « **Reply #1792 on:** Jul 27, 2022 at 06:54 AM »

Pero ngayon sir, wala na talagang kahit AV Receivers ang Pioneer Philippines no? Lahat galing outside PH na.

RastaSega · « **Reply #1793 on:** Sep 01, 2022 at 06:09 PM »

don't you find Pioneer receivers to be too colored? Granted the Elite series does this well

I have a Pio 523k that has been with me for 6+ years. It gave up on us recently with the flashing red light error on the HDMI. Tried to reset to no avail. Brought it to a repair shop who is currently checking on it. Initial feedback is that the main board is busted. Initial estimate is P7k to P8k but to be finalized.

Worth for it to be repaired? And a repaired / replaced board ( the part may not be brand new as Pioneer no longer produces that model? What about the longevity after the repair?

I had the similar problem with my 521 back in 2014. My unit was barely 3 years old and it stopped working all of a sudden. I brought it to Pioneer and they said that it's the board that needs replacement. I pulled it out because that's what they would usually say when they're too lazy to diagnose properly and see what components only need replacement. Then I brought it to a trusted technician who fixed it by replacing the regulator and some ICs. Then it worked for about a year. Until the some other problems started to occur like only left channel working. Video signal will flash on the TV, and a few more. I searched and read many other forums that common problems have happened to many 52x, 82x, 112x, and other entry-mid level units. Which made me decide to give the unit away and bought a mid-level Yamaha 7,2 instead and I'm so happy with it. Never had any problems so far. Also sounds much better and more options.

Thank you for your inputs sir. Whew. Grabe. First time to experience a receiver breaking down on me. Yammy kasi gamit ko before and upgraded to this one as HDMI era na.

Entry level model, wag mo na gastusan repair kung HDMI board ang sira.
