Iba iba kasi ang room acoustics and distance ng speakers for each HT room so each setting ng receiver for an individual room might not be favorable in your room.

Sir try nyo po change yung settings sa PS3 sa HDMI set it to bitstream po...para raw data will be process by the reciever and not by the PS3 po.. HTH

Sa blu Ray ko naka PCM sya then Kung ano yung madetect nya na soundtrack yun ang feed Nita sa reciever. Initially PCM yung nakadisplay then magbabago either to Dolby digital or dts

Just finished setting up my vsx920. Its a feature packed receiver. Sounds crisp with movies. Yun lang, i am missing the hdmi pass through on standby. I moved my previous Denon 1909 to the sala. Does anyone know how to work around this problem without using any analog connections. Thanks.

Great entry level AVR IMO. At the price point and the features it is a very good bargain. Other will say that there are better options than the Pioneer and this may be true. But I went with the Pioneer VSX-520 and did not regret it.

Currently driving A-Audio FS, Wharfe 9.1 and CS plus a US Audio sub. PS3, WDTV, Wii and DV600 connected as well.

my pio amp driving WH-2 surround and center, Pioneer Kazze 3-way speakers and a Xenon sub, connected with: LG BD370, Nextbase upscaling DVD, Pensonic Karaoke DVD, Ipod touch, and a Kenwood TT via Audio Cambridge.

Max numbers ("dynamic power") sell, that's why they quote them.

I'm not familiar with PS3. But i think the application might be similar to movies. The game probably does not have DTS audio. Alam ko, may PCM 5.1 din naman. If there is, i wouldn't mind PCM. Still, how do you connect your PS3's audio and video sa AV/R mo?

Let's wait for the gurus here at PDvd who are familiar with PS3 for better inputs.

Not all games are encoded in DTS.

You also try outputting the audio in bitstream

Mga fellow PinoyDVD members just a question for pioneer VSX-520K.. Can the HDMI out connection produce video display to the LCD TV even if the source is connected to the AVR via Component or Composite? I'm just comparing po with my cousins Yamaha receiver and it can po, sa kanya po kasi even connected Component or Composite ang source it can output the video signal to HDMI out. does 520K support this function analog to digital video? salamat po in advance?

I don't think so. Yung Yamaha ng cousin mo is a higher model kaya meron.

You'd have to step up to the VSX-920-K (or higher) to get the same feature.

Try mo din going to Video settings on the PS3//then go to Bd/DVD Audio Output Format (HDMI)//Then select the option Bitstream.

a few quick questions, where can i audition pioneer receivers?

pioneer 1019 & 1020 seems to be highly rated based on the comparison reviews i've read but there isn't much for love for them here sa pinas, is it because of the price? or maybe the reviews i've read so far aren't too credible hehe

Have you tried playing with the levels for each channel nang receiver? Baka naka set sa lowest level yung mga channels when driving all. How about pag 2 channel stereo? Have you tired if there are changes?

Try mo din reset to default yung receiver mo.. then play with the channel levels.

jnazareta · « **Reply #323 on:** Mar 08, 2011 at 09:18 PM »

Sir Courage, I already reset it and put back the same values for every channel still same issue. wala naman pong changes sa reciever settngs. and nadagdag lang is yung HTPC ko na binuo pero that was 3 weeks ago and everything is fine tapos nung Sunday lang sya humina....I have to raise the volume para maging OK sa pandinig ko...pati yung sub humina din...

And i'm guessing you are also playing the same source you played before?

jnazareta · « **Reply #325 on:** Mar 09, 2011 at 02:07 AM »

Yes sir Courage, I'am using the same sources po..kaya po nagtataka ako what happened why the sounds get low po. I'll try to borrow a different reciever and a different source po to see if it's gonna be the same or baka may deprensya na pang dinig ko..wala ko kasi MACC yung pio ko and wala rin po akong SPL meter mara masukat yung sound level nya..

Mga gurus inquire ko lang po kung iba-iba po ba ang construction or features ng pioneer VSX-520K? kasi po sa pioneer Philippines walang MACC ang 520K pero sa ibang pioneer sites meron po.. here is the link.

http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/products/42/98/405/VSX-520-K/specs.html

gusto ko lang po malaman kung bakit sa ibang site meron MACC and 520K pero dito sa pinas pio site wala..

Yup, magkakaiba ang features per region. Sa regions na may MCACC (like sa EU), mas mahal ang 520 doon compared sa US and Asia Pacific.
