Sir Nelson one more question, im hesitant to buy the 1021 from amazon due to warranty issues. the way i see it, the only features that separates the 1021 from 1020 are ipad compatibility and hdmi passthru.

worth the risk ba bumili ng 1021 thru amazon w/o warranty or go for 1020 locally with warranty? and what's the work around for not having hdmi passthru?

thanks.

Just bought my 521 last week.Yesterday ko lng ngamit ung portable audio input nya on the front panel,napansin ko walang sounds na lumalabas sa right speaker. Then ngsetup ako sa old component namin using the same cable and portable player ok naman ung sounds on both speaker. May naka-encounter na ba sa inyo ng ganito sir? Baka may makatulong before I return the unit sa store. tnx

Current speaker setup for my 521, R / L / and Center only.

Mine came from Amazon. Dati kasi, quite expensive dito ang 1020. I have issues with the 1020. Probably because i just needed a simple receiver and it just so happen na mura sa Amazon that time. Re warranty, yes there are risks of course. You're safer with locally distributed units. But after 1 year, amazon, grey or local units, parehas na tayong magbabayad kapag nasira.

Did you test the unit before you bought it? It's not normal. Better return it and sila ang ma-moblema.

Yes. If capable, add a sub sa budget. Then center speakers.

Issues sa budget.

DIY speaks lang dapat ang gagawin ko for my entry level Pio, i ended up buying the 1020 for it's EQ. It was all worth it naman. Yun "loud & clear" DIY 4 ohms speakers ko, naging "louder & clearer".

Turn outs that 521 Front Inputs is mapili sa cable.
Brought my unit to the store and test it using my cable, as expected walang sounds coming from the right speaker, they also test it using their demo unit and got the same result.Then the store test my unit using their own cable.Boom! complete sound from all speakers!. Knowing that my cable is not defective I ask them to test it using other unit. Boom! complete sound from all speakers! In the end the store just gave me a cable that is compatible with the 521.

Mini-Stereo Audio Cable Sir. Use for the portable source on the front audio input of our 521.

I bought my 1020 from Kelly last Thursday. Sulit na sulit, considerable upgrade from my yamaha 730. Though the unit is almost new, bought it without the mcacc mic. Do you guys think its worth buying the mcacc mic for roughly 2.5k from amazon(landed na) or tweak ko na lang manually using the manual mcacc feature?

Pa rent na lang kaya ng may mic dyan?

Feedback will be appreciated.

Thanks

Once calibrated, you won't need the mic na. Hehe!

Masmaganda may mic ka for ease in tweaking afterwards. Taga saan ka?

Batangas pa ako Bro Nelson

. I just need a one time calibration to use this feature of the 1020 since I do not see moving my setup anytime soon to any place in the house. Amazon offers it at around 15usd pero shipping is around 38usd.

In any case, I have done the mcacc manually since provided din naman pala yun. Baka lang I can make it better using the mic.

Thanks

You can PM Anya the link and ask him how much ang pio mic sa kanya. Baka makamura ka sa kanya. Though baka it will take you 2 months nga lang. pero mura naman.

I read the 2011~2012 new catalogue of Pioneer. Came across the VSX-S500-K, is this unit any good? Any reviews for this yet? I've searched the internet and found none for some reviews, I think because it's just new in the market. Appreciate if you could share some opinions.

Cheers!

It looks good. It's supposedly fairly high-current capable, as far as entry level slimline AVRs go. The reason is because it utilizes high efficiency amplification (Class D).

As far as sonics is concerned, we are yet to find out. I'm hoping that it comes close to the quality that Pioneer's Class D implementations are known for (the higher Elite models, to be exact).
