For a small room I'll get the pioneer since it's already a 3D bluray player and offers additional connectivity. Pero depende sa iyo yan kung saan mo gagamitin. Ang di ko lang gusto sa ibang mga HTIBs e yung proprietary speaker terminal connectors.

yung mcs merong 4 na hdmi in, htz may 2. mcs isa lang optical in, htz dalawa. mcs, pare pareho lang ang wattage ng lahat ng speaker @ 170 watts (tama lang ba yun?), htz, front and surround has 150w, sub and front has 250w. Sino ba nakagamit ng htz 222bd? ok ba?

Title: Re: Pioneer MCS-333
Post by: foxez69 on Jun 16, 2014 at 08:44 AM
@sphyrynx14

Isn't that automatic already? Kung both may tunog from HTiB and TV, i-off mo yung Audio Pass through sa HDMI settings.
Title: Re: Pioneer MCS-333
Post by: sphrynx14 on Jun 16, 2014 at 05:34 PM
Naka off naman yung audio pass through pero yung output ng sound is sa left and right speakers lang ng htib.. Baka meron pa ibang settings.. Gusto kasi na suround yung sound like playing games sa ps3 at alam ko yung mga hd channels ng sky is 5.1 yung sound.
Title: Re: Pioneer MCS-333
Post by: foxez69 on Jun 18, 2014 at 10:29 AM
punta ka sa initial setup, tapos setup mo audio sa audio menu.

para ma force na 5.1, pindutin mo yung "sound" button sa remote control mo.  may lalabas na menu sa screen, may mga options dun, kasama yung virtual 3d, 5.1, etc..
Title: Re: Pioneer MCS-333
Post by: sphrynx14 on Jun 19, 2014 at 07:14 PM
Yung nga yung problem ko kasi walang menu pag press ko ng sound kapag sa mga connected devices ko through hdmi sa player pero kapag sa usb with movie files ma setup ko naman yung sound. Dun lang pwede yung 5.1 surround. Sa unit mo ba meron naman menu kapag press mo yung sound sa mga connected through hdmi?

I think wala.  Pero automatic naman na 5.1 ang audio output sakin when using my PS3.

Check ko uli mamaya.

I have not experienced any Cinavia issues whatsoever.

Does it really have Cinavia protection?  I thought only Sony players have that. Anyway, for your peace of mind, bring an external hard drive so that you can test it before purchasing.

Title: Re: Pioneer MCS-333
Post by: Dash Yuuki on Dec 21, 2014 at 01:21 PM
Bumili ako ng MCS-333 after receiving my 13th month bonus. Given the fact na ito yung unang Pioneer branded na gamit na binili ko, medyo di ako namangha sa product. Bought at Western appliances in Sta. Lucia East mall for PHP 11,700

PROS:

-Multimedia monster (can play DVDs, Blu-Ray discs, downloaded movies depende sa format at encoding, music files and is DLNA capable). Also it can stream to Youtube.
-Easy to set up, tama sa taong nagbabudget at may di kalakihang bahay or kuwarto. Mahaba ang cable ng surround speakers
-Has 2 USB ports and a Portable IN, plus may optical input and 4 HDMI ins, para sa may game consoles or HD cable boxes, FM radio.

CONS:
-Mahina ang sound output, kahit yung trim levels nakatodo na sa lahat ng speakers. Given the fact this is a Pioneer brand, which is to my knowledge, produces high quality audio devices, this is quite a disappointment for me.
-Yung remote control mahirap pindutin, tapos yung plastic body niya medyo loose, na parang matatangal yung back part ng remote.
-Sometimes it is slow while browsing YT and some input lags.

And may problem ako dun sa front speakers and surround speakers niya, at some volume levels, or sa ibang sounds may tendency na mag distort yung tunog, yung biglang uugong. This bothers me a lot since this is my first time buying an HTIB and dito ko nagastos yung 13th month ko. This happened after hanging the front speakers on a solid wall while the surround speakers on an L-shaped plywood na sinadya namin para maikabit sa kisame. Any possible solutions and suggestions are welcome.

Out of 5 stars, I'll give this one a 3 star.
Title: Re: Pioneer MCS-333
Post by: SiCkBoY on Dec 27, 2014 at 10:18 AM
Prior to hanging the front speakers walang distortion?

Mahina nga ang sound output (compared to my old Samsung HT-Z220) pagdating sa MKVs, almost always naka 90% full ang volume.

However, when it comes to game consoles (PS3 and PS4) ang lakas and ang ganda ng tunog. Nasa 14 (out of 40) lang sa volume dial and sobrang lakas na.
Title: Re: Pioneer MCS-333
Post by: Dash Yuuki on Dec 27, 2014 at 04:18 PM
Yes, walang distortion bago isinabit yung mga speakers, yung distortion nangyayari kapag medyo malakas na yung volume at may mga parts na malakas yung sound frequency (e.g. may bibirit na singer, rock music, medyo random)

Unfortunately the subwoofer starts to show signs of its weakness. kapag mataas yung trim levels at nakabass boost habang nagpapatugtog ng bassy music, may kung anung ingay na di ko mawari ( I suspect it is on the design of the subwoofer, given the fact HTIBs have limited sound output power compared to separates)

So far I have done these workarounds...

• Naglagay ng tela sa likod ng satellite speakers, kasi napansin ko na vibration ng case yung dahilan if im not mistaken, pag gumagana yung speaker and it vibrates the whole speaker case, this causes the sound distortion unlike nung nakapatong sila less tendency to distort since may sasalo nung vibration. (theory ko lang), so far the distortion lessened yet it is still present.

• Adjusted trim levels of each satellite and experimented with the sound settings. My current settings are as follow...

   ♦ Bass Boost on
   ♦ Trim levels down to 0 on four satellite speakers and +2 on center, 0 din sa subwoofer
   ♦ Equalizer set to Movie
   ♦ Surround set to 5 speaker mode.

Kakatapos ko lang mag soundtrip at manood ng The Expendables 3, at volume 25 tama na yung sound output.

Pasensya na sa haba bossing. Will update the thread should any further issues arise.

Post by: Nelson de Leon on Dec 27, 2014 at 04:58 PM
Medjo mahina tlaga ang mga HTiBs pagdating sa volume. Unless na mga big size HTiBs (they still call it HTiB pero mag BS speakers na ang kasama) ang kunin mo. Try to lower your expectations for a P12,000 system para hindi ka ma-dissapoint. Hehe! Ang 3D BD player nasa P3-4k na ata. So what's left sa cost would be for the speakers and amplification.

Sa daldalan ang hina pero sa explosions magugulat ka na lang no? But I think issue yan sa lahat ng setup. It was even discussed in HD Nation as a common problem.

Lesson learned sir, mahirap talaga ang mag-expect! Based on several life experiences, masakit din talaga haha! Pero yung naging selling point niya para sa akin is yung multimedia capabilities niya, and yung pagiging small factor niya, tamang tama sa hindi kalakihang bahay o sala.

Napapaisip ako kung pwede i-mod yung speakers niya (e.g attaching a 4-ohm speaker or something) Na realize ko rin na hindi totoo yung 1000w something niya, power advertising lang pala! :D

Di ko din sure if that's a problem or a standard sa mga recording ng movies. Talagang dapat malakas ang mga action scenes intentionally para magulat ka and better immersion.

Mga easy to drive speakers baka may improvement pero it's easier talaga to change system. Masmadami ka kasing choices ng speakers kapag naka receiver ka na compared to HTiB.

Nagresearch po ako dito sa forum karamihan ng users naka separates na high-end at yung may kamahalan na systems. Maybe I will reconsider upgrading in the future if the budget will allow me. Salamat sa mga feedback. Gusto ko talaga malaman ang true-rate ng amplifier nito, once found, I'll try tweaking it first then saka ko na pagiisipan yung upgrade.

Sir, suggestion lang, tweaking your HTiB would be fun. Pero there are plenty of receivers out there that would not cost you an arm and a leg. Yun mga entry level Pioneers mura na for a bnew receiver. Lalo na yun mga nagbebenta ng mga pre-owned. Mga ka-price sila ng HTiB mo. Then slowly build your system.

Speaking of slowly building the system, out of the topic po, gusto kong upgrade sometime yung mga slim AV receivers, ang habol ko lang naman is decent sound quality, space and budget. Ika nga my ears will decide. For now I am satisfied with my MCS-333

UPDATE: Currently using Extra Power Mode and +3 on Fronts, +5 on surrounds, +4 on Center and +6 sa sub with Bass Boost on, EQ off. Sinubukan ko sa concert DVD ni Avril Lavigne mas natural yung tunog ng instruments, maganda yung kalansing at wala na akong naririnig na distortion tulad ng dati, hindi man hataw yung bass and low frequency yet the output was satisfactory. Mas maganda ipang benchmark or pang calibrate yung mga 5.1 surround DVDs or BDs original copies. Tumalab somehow yung paglalagay ng tela sa likod at medyo niluwagan ko yung pagkapasok ng turnilyo.

I have changed my mind, 4 out of 5 rating. :) Wala lang siyang HDMI ARC capability.

Since you know that it isnt function g, it will orbably annoy you knowing that it is suppossed to emit a sound when it doesnt.

Pero pag di ka maselan, ok lang.

Up to this thread...

Mga masters anyone tried modding their MCS-333 e.g replacing the stock speakers with better ones?
Pinalitan ko ng Dai Ichi LS-3 yung front speakers nung sa amin then it sounded better for me compared to the previous speakers. Nawala na yung 'screeching' sound pag volume 20 to 25.

Mas satisfied na ko sa MCS-333 now, hindi na ko nag sisi na binili ko ito.

thanks sir, front left and front right speakers siya?

possible ba sir kung pati center, surround left and right palitan din? thanks
Title: Re: Pioneer MCS-333
Post by: Dash Yuuki on Oct 27, 2015 at 04:13 PM
I think it is possible. Nag research po ako about sa speakers, pwede naman ikabit ang 6 ohm speaker sa 4 ohm amplifier. Yun nga lang you have to increase the gain to compensate since mas mahina ang sound. Napansin ko din na parang 'cheap' yung pagkakagawa ng stock speakers.

Front left and right muna pinalitan ko , next is Subwoofer. Palitan ko na lang may speaker level input na sub once the budget allows

thanks sir for the heads up, palitan ko nga speakers and sub. ano masuggest mo na sub sir? noob kasi hehe thanks

malaki ba difference sir improvement nung pinalitan mo ng speakers? thanks

For me mas ramdam ko na yung kalansing tapos nawala na yung 'screeching' sound, naka sabit kasi sa ding ding yung mga satellite speakers. Sound is a bit clearer now.

Pinalitan ko yung speakers sa pamamagitan ng pag putol dun sa wire, manipis yung copper tapos binalatan ko na lang para maipasok dun sa speaker terminals. Doing so will void the warranty. So I've voided mine wala pang isang taon to hihihi. Purchased last December 2014.

Do you guys use this for console gaming? Kapag naka PS3, PS4, or Wii U ako, ang ganda ganda ng sound. Also, nasa 15 lang ang volume ang lakas na.

Weird kasi when I use it to watch movies via streaming, the sound is lacking.

@ sickboy, gamit ko siya dati sa ps3, ngayon sa ps4 tama ka sir ang ganda ng sound niya sa ps4 hindi din bitin yung bass. Sa movies ok naman minsan depende sa movie pero parang kulang yung bass minsan mahina din center speaker

Kung galing sa internet ang movie siguro dahil sa compression ng audio data. Pero download niyo yung file na DTS Experience sa Demo World website. Short video lang pero mararamdaman mo yung lakas ng speakers.

Pero share ko lang ang na diskubre ko sa DLNA capability nito. Kung may Android phone kayo na may mga songs. Download kayo ng app na BubbleUPNP, dapat nasa iisang network ang MCS-333 at Android phone niyo (MCS-333 connected via LAN, smartphone via main WiFi network). Pwede nang mag patugtog ng songs straight from the phone, kahit di na gamitin yung Portable port ni MCS-333, mahina kasi ang input power niya.

Balak ko din sanang mag pa assemble ng subwoofer kay sir Marco para sa unit ko kung pwede hihihi...

What I mean sir is downloaded movies from the internet e.g torrents etc, maybe it depends on the compression or audio format or from the movie itself

sa bluray discs/movies ko sinubukan mga sir.

Kamusta sir? OK po ba yung sound quality pag original blu-ray disc?

Title: Re: Pioneer MCS-333

Tanong ko lang sa mga users din ng system baka may alam kayo na solution. Lately nagkaproblema ko sa hdmi out kasi wala na kasi picture na lumalabas sa tv.. Usually naka kabit yung other system ko like ps4 sa home theater at yung sytem na lang mag output ng picture sa TV pero ngayon wala nang lumalabas.. Pero kapag straight ko yung hdmi ng ps4 sa TV meron namang sound output yung home theater gamit yung arc function nya kaso hindi na surround yung output. At wala na ring home media gallery menu na lumalabas kapag mag play ako ng file through usb sa system.. Yung funny lang kasi kapag mag boot ako lumalabas naman yung pioneer logo pero pagkatapos nun no output na yung display.

There's a 99% chance na isa sa mga HDMI cables na gamit mo ang may issue.

In case you were curious if the MCS-333 is ARC capable (like me), the answer is yes (http://www.manualslib.com/manual/849606/Pioneer-Mcs-333.html?page=24).

Mga sir nag palit ako ng tv from 3d smart lg tv to samsung uhd tv. Sorry for my ignorance hehe. Ang hirap mag setup sa samsung yata. Yung mcs333 hindi ko mapagana ng husto sa samsung tv. I mean hindi ako makanood ng bluray. Nilipat lipat ko na hdmi slots ayaw talaga. No source naka lagay sa tv. Ang nag function lang ps4. Yung sound niya sa ps4 naging 2.1 na lang. Ano ba dapat ko gawin mga sir para 5.1 pcm pa din ng sound ng ps4, at maka watch pa din ng bluray movies?  Salamat mga sir. Hilong hilo na ko hehe hindi ko ma figure out hehe.

Sa dating tv ko 5.1 linear pcm siya, tsaka i-input ko lang sa mcs33 hdmi 1 pag bluray, hdmi 2 pag ps4. Sa samsung tv ayaw ng bluray, ps4 lang nadetect ng tv. Sorry mga sir sa questions, wala din kasi ako makita na kasagutan sa net. Thank you mga sir.
