[mhacman]

hi guys, i might be one of Pio-owners very soon - vsx-522... who else currently have this?

good thing i waited a while longer until the price drop which i didn't expected... LOL!  but still due to limited budget, shall go for a 3.0 set-up initially =)

[AVerageJoe]

sir mhacman, how much is the 522? where is it available? im also looking at this av receiver.

I think I saw one at LIS mega, last time I visited, its on sale for 10k..

This is true, I had a hard time making mine work. Though technically gumagana sya, kaya lang you need to have the avr turned on, if you turn it off wala ng sound.

I hope they already fixed it on 522

ako nga to pre, panalo ang HT setup mo tulo laway ko hehe mukhang namimili din ng player yun 521 series kaya mahirap paganahin ang standby through... one time kasi gumana sya sa cheap next base player ko hehehe...

nag uumpisa pa lang ako sa hobby na to, kaya entry level lang muna setup ko

recently sold my relatively new VSX 521 and switch to VSX 522 instead.... sad to say, wala pong standby through ang 522 ng pio pero okay lang, di ko rin naman mapagana ang pass through ng 521 ko before may composite input connection ang 521 pero may usb input naman ang 522

I saw in the 522's HDMI setting about "HDMITHRU" (mine I turned it to ON) though i haven't tried it with my LG 3D Bluray... will try this out soon.

what I have tried is its ARC function selecting the TV as input source  so I don't use an optical cable anymore when I watch TV programs or movie using the tv's built-in movie player.  Via ARC, you may control the volume of the receiver using the tv's remote...

[mhacman]

guy's, just tried out and 522 has no "STAND BY PASS THROUGH" function.  So nor the 521 would have this.  You can't use 521/522 as a gateway between your BD/Game console and TV via HDMI IN & HDMI OUT -- while 521/522 is OFF.

As I only found "HDMITHRU" in 522, let's define it first:   
      - as per the Operating Instruction, it specifies the routing of the HDMI audio signal out of the reciever (set to AMP) or through the TV (set to THRU)

my current connections: (important to note though that my TV has an ARC feature so the TV's ARC is ON and the 522's ARC is also ON)
1.  BD player (or GAME console) to Pio 522's BD (or GAME) HDMI input using HDMI cable w/ Ethernet
2.  Pio 522 HDMI out to TV's HDMI IN w/ ARC using Monster Hi-Speed HDMI cable (w/ CEC)

scenario 1 in steps (BD player is considered as source):
 - 522 is unplugged from mains
 - BD player is plugged (but currently off)
 - turn ON the TV and press the input button (at this stage, TV can detect an HDMI signal but cannot recognize the type of source i.e. BD player)
 - select that HDMI source
 - BD player will automatically turn-on but will fail to show BD's home menu as the TV will say "NO Input".  It will leave the BD player ON

scenario 2 in steps (BD player is considered as source):
 - 522 is plugged (but currently off)
 - BD player is plugged (but currently off)
 - turn on the TV and press input button (at this stage, TV can detect an HDMI signal but cannot recognize the type of source i.e. BD player)
 - select that HDMI source
 - BD player will automatically turn-on but will fail to show BD's home menu as the TV will say "NO Input".  It will leave the BD player on
 - turn on 522
 - press TV's input button (at this stage, TV can detect an HDMI signal but STILL cannot recognize the type of source i.e. BD player)
 - presto, the BD player's home menu will be shown on screen. remember, the BD player is already ON at this stage
 - proceed to watch BD
 - set 522 to HDMITHRU - sound comes out the TV (no sound comes from 522) but the 522 is ON and does consume energy (a useless case? why would Pio need this feature anyway?)
 - set 522 to HDMI AMP - sound comes out the 522 (no sound comes from TV) enjoy 5.1 audio
 - turn off the 522 -- voila, TV screen blackens and sound is shut but leaves TV and BD player ON

Q: why would you do scenario 1?
A: if your children would like to watch animations (or play Game console) on their own -- it won't bother them not to hear audio in 5.1.  besides, you'll be able to save on energy as the 522 is OFF
Conclusion: NOT POSSIBLE using above stated connections.  522 has no STAND BY PASS THRU feature.  522 cannot be a gateway between your BD/Game console via HDMI IN & HDMI OUT to TV WHEN the 522 is OFF.

Solution (w/ TV ARC), do below connections instead:
1.  BD player (GAME console) to TV's HDMI (select any one except the one with ARC function) using stock HDMI cable w/ Ethernet
2.  Pio 522 HDMI out to TV's HDMI w/ ARC input using Monster Hi-Speed HDMI cable (w/ CEC)

 - this is possible if your children will watch movie (or play game console) and use the TV speakers as HDMI carries AV signal to the TV so you can leave the 522 off
 - if YOU or your children will watch movie (or play game console) in 5.1 audio, turn on 522 and select TV input source. TV speaker will automatically shut off and will return the audio signal back to 522. 
 - adjust audio level according to your liking - even the TV's remote can control the 522's volume
 - enjoy 5.1 audio!

Solution (w/o TV ARC), do below connections instead:
1.  BD player (GAME console) to TV's HDMI using stock HDMI cable w/ Ethernet
2.  BD player (GAME console) to Pio 522 using OPTICAL cable or Digital COAX cable

 - this is possible if your children will watch movie (or play game console) and use the TV speakers as HDMI carries AV signal to the TV so you can leave the 522 off
 - if YOU or your children will watch movie (or play game console) in 5.1 audio, turn on 522 and select CD input source (then further select C1 or O1 for COAX or OPTICAL, respectively).
 - mute the TV or manually turn TV speaker off
 - adjust audio level according to your liking - can only use the 522's remote
 - enjoy 5.1 audio

Thanks for this detailed information. Will try this tomorrow.

[Philander]

Thanks for the info. I am about to buy the Pioneer 522 but now I have some reservation as standbye pass through is a nice feature.

Any other entry level receiver has this function? Sub 12K?

Thanks.

not really a bother for the stand-by pass through not being there... all you need is an extra cable connection (SPDIF/COAX) as stated, anyway... and you can only have this feature maximized if your TV has an ARC...

=)

[dm1179]

if AVR has no "Stand By Pass Through" function, how about using an HDMI splitter instead?

with a pioneer receiver's low power consumption hitting only about 40-60 watts at low listening levels, i wouldn't worry about that pass-through function either. enjoy pa sa surround sound. besides, a receiver on standby with hdmi pass-through will already consume around 20 watts, so with a 30-watt difference why bother and deprive yourself the pleasure?

[red_one]

would a Pioneer AVR be a good match to my Monitor Audio Bronze bookshelf speakers?

[acepogs]
