Sir, lahat yang input mo pwede mo na ipasok sa 520K. Halso same tayo ng set up: DVD, WDTV and PS3. Meron 3 HDMI input ang 520K. Both audio and video will pass through HDMI so there is no need to separate the audio via Optical or Coax. Meron din DTS decoder and 520K so wala kang problema sa format. Kelangan mo lang i out yung 520K papunta sa display mo and good to go na.

sir meaning yung 5.1 audio coming from xtreamer e lalabas na via hdmi na lang without the use of optical?

second question to owners ng 520k - does 520k passes the signal through to the TV if the receiver is in standby or off?

As far as I know Pioneers are more on the bright side. For speakers matching, best to audition first.

May button po sa remote ang mga Pioneer usually. Make sure that your speaker assignments are correct.

pwede rin press mo yung audio parameters sa remote tapos yung hdmi switch mo to "thru". tv lang lalabas yung audio pero naka "on" pa rin yung 520. ganyan ginagawa ko pag natutulog na girlfriend ko

i know you can output tv audio (cable tv) via receiver by using the optical out from LCD to optical in of receiver...

but can you let the receiver process SD analog signal of cable tv and scale it up?

If you have a cable box with the proper outputs, you can feed the output to the AVR for scaling.

Aside from this, wala namang ibang abnormal?

Have you tried other inputs? Maski naka digital-in may buzzing? Check for ground loops by disconnecting other components linked to the AVR. Kung meron pa din, try a different outlet. If hindi nawala, pacheck mo yung AVR.

I'm not sure, but I think it only supports audio formats.

a good subwoofer can help. that's what i found out nung huli kong binili sa setup ko yung sub. di talaga sapat yung 5 speakers, ang laking difference pag merong subwoofer

Im using a Pioneer VSX-520-K. For my HTPC I use Corel windvd 2010 when playing bd movies. Based sa info ng Corel windvd, ung audio ng movie is "DTS-HD MA" which of coarse is true since ung nkasulat sa slip case ng BD ay "5.1 DTS HD Master audio". However sa AVR ko walang nalabas na "DTS HD" sa LCD panel ng receiver.

Question: Does it mean Im only getting the DTS-audio? Ung nasa manual kasi sabi lalabas daw ung DTS HD sa LCD panel kong DTS HD ung source. I think hindi naman sira ung LCD panel kc nalabas nman na Dolby digital+ sa panel kong DD+ ung audio source.

Ano po Video Adapter niyo?

Dapat din ata, DTS HD master audio capable yun pc...?

warmaster · « **Reply #414 on:** Jun 13, 2011 at 09:21 AM »

baka di nga nagdedecode ng HD audio yung pc. in which case baka may option to send the raw audio and let the reciever decode

rulesmeister · « **Reply #415 on:** Jun 13, 2011 at 12:27 PM »

Im using an HDMI tru a gaming VC (1gig GTX460) which can handle DTS HD MA quite easily since kaya nga nya mghandle ng extreme settings sa gaming at 1080P. Based din sa specs ng GTX 460, it says it can handle DD trueHD and DTS HD MA.

The extreme video settings has nothing to do with HD Audio handling, though the GTX 460 should be able to handle HD Audio with the right software and software settings.

You should set your software to bitstream the HD audio stream. Tapos buksan mo yung sa sound playback devices at tignan ang supported audio formats kung nakaselect ang desired format mo.

rulesmeister · « **Reply #417 on:** Jun 14, 2011 at 08:49 AM »

Thanks mga Sirs for the replies. I was finally able to extract DTS-HD MA from the VC, I did some reseach Guru3D said that the default CD driver for GTX 460 does not support HD audio. I downloaded the current driver from NVDIA and not only the audio improved but the PQ as well, meron nang "digital color vibrance" sa VC. Ok na ung tunog ng Pioneer 520 ko.

Kailan kaya magkakaroon ng 2011 receivers? From what i read, meron na silang stand-by pass thru.

jeyps11_c · « **Reply #419 on:** Jun 20, 2011 at 07:06 AM »

Uy maganda yang stand by pass thru. Lakas sa kuryente kung manonood ka lang ng tv and lahat ng gears mo eh naka bukas. So what I did was just direct my Cignal STB sa display the the DVD, WDTV an PS3 sa 520k going out to the display. Para I only need to turn on AVR and speakers when I am watching or gaming. A pass thru will be a great feature and electricity saver.
