Topic: Pioneer Receivers

[Tavus]

did some more research and i discovered that it might be an ati driver problem. though my video card(4850) is different the situation is similar.:

[rhodem24]

May HDMI po ba yung HD4850 mo bro? And connected it directly to the HDMI in sa receiver?

[Tavus]

i have to use a unique dvi> hdmi  adapter from ati that i got from tipid pc on tipid pc. it passes hd audio and video.

[rhodem24]

Wow.. Can you send me a link please? I'd like to order one for my HD4850. How much po?

Hindi ba Video lang po ang DVI? Paano po maka pag pass through yung audio by just using that adapter?

Im using Sapphire Vapor-X HD 4850 Crossfire to my PC, cannot bitstream DTS-HD and Dolby True-HD, only DTS.
Kaya nag build ako dedicated HTPC with HD7750 card. Pagkaka alam ko sir 5*** series can bitstream DTS-HD

[rhodem24]

I see... Bibilhin ko na lang yung HD6790.. May nakita kasi ako 4,500 lang.. Hehehe.

I think it can decode bitstream audio na...

[Timithekid]

Actually, mine is.  Kaya lang, i follow the sequence to minimize issues.
Sa monitor, madali lang kasi direct sa monitor ang plug in. Sa reciver kasi, both audio and video are involved. So for the pc to detect the video, dapat naka-connect and running din ang monitor that passes thru the receiver. Sa case ko naman, maski naka-on ang receiver, pero shut down ang monitor, walang audio. So parang the pc recognizes the receiver initially as a video output. 2ndary lang as audio output. Pero complicated din kasi ang case ko because i have 2 monitors. One is directly connected sa pc via vga. Wala akong problem dun. The other one is connected sa receiver via hdmi. Plus, dalawa ang audio output ko. one is via usb port, and the other one via hdmi (with video).

Hmmmm...interesting. Thank you po Master Nelson.

Yun akin, stock video/audio card ng motherboard pero nakaka decode naman ng true HD etc.

buti pa sa iyo sir, sa akin nag re format na ako, tried 32 bit and 64bit, pero wala pa rin, updated naman yung driver.

Nakatipid pa sana ako kung gumana kasi babaklasin ko lang yung isa.

That's correct. HD 5000 series supports HDMI 1.3's protected audio path, which allows for worry-free bitstreaming of HD Audio.

Newer na kasi PC mo master. Mga panahon kasi ng HD 4000 series, hindi pa uso ang HD Audio capable na outputs sa graphics adapters (whether integrated or dedicated). Gumagamit pa ng ganito madalas to bitstream HD Audio:

I tried hooking up my PC to receiver using DVI-HDMI adapter, since my 4850 only have 2 DVIs and no HDMI. It worked! May DTS and Dolby nga! Now, I just need a longer hdmi cable.

Congrats! Yes, ATi/AMD had built-in HDMI audio since they launched the HD 2000 series.

Thanks bro. Buti na lang may nahukay ako na adapter. Ngayon ko lang na realize mayron pa lang free adapter tong video card ko. Hehehe.

Mga sir, okay lang ba if I manually set the channel levels of my receiver to (C - +4.0; L - +2.0; R - +2.0)?

Hello po ulit...

I bought a 5-meter HDMI cable kanina and connected it via DVI-HDMI adapter from PC to receiver...
I can get the 8 max. number of channels IF I connect it to the BD (Bluray) HDMI port... Pero pag sa ibang HDMI port ko i-connect, 2 channels (stereo) lang po ma detect nya..

I went to MCACC setup and checked if meron ba akong ma experiment dun... Wala po akong nakitang workaround. Please help po ulit..

Thanks mga sir.

It's likely how your PC is setup. Are you bitstreaming AC3 or DTS?

Turn on your AVR before turning on your PC, just to be sure. Once the PC detects the AVR's supported formats, then you're free to adjust the PC's settings.

[rhodem24]

Thanks mga sir. It worked. I dunno which one fixed it. The SIGNAL SEL or the booting process. Haha. Basta it worked.. It's in my HDMI1 na.

What speaker brands work well with Pioneer AVRs?

pasali na rin..

[rhodem24]

My VSX-1021 works very well with Wharfedale 9.1 (That's the only speaker I have. LOL).

[Timithekid]

I've paired my with Klipsch na reference/wharfedale Modus and Polk RTi.  All of which were good pairings with different behaviors though.  The Wharfedale was warm to laidback, found it best for crooner music (Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr.)  The RTi's had a more forward behavior, best with strings (Piano,guitars, violins) the Klipsch was a bit bright (which I prefer slightly over the RTi) to neutral sounding best with vocals ( audiophile voices - both male and female).  I've listened to a B&W 6 series and Pioneer combo too, best of all that I mentioned but I dont own one so no extended listening for me with the B&W brand.
