    Elite VSX-45 cutting out?

    Antony, I don't have any kids in the house and don't understand how anyone can listen at reference levels. If I get to about -8db it is plenty loud.

    Elite VSX-45 cutting out?

    Matt, If you pick up a used 2 channel amp to drive your mains you will be OK. For about $200 you can find a good used 2 channel amp. I think this combination is the way to go. I use an external amp to power my front 3 speakers.

    Elite VSX-45 cutting out?

    Matt, I own a 45TX and have never had it shut down. If you have been reading the thread here and AVS forum. One of the people that had shut down traced it back to a bad speaker. I am sure he will chime in soon. The 45TX is only rated to drive speakers over 6 ohms. If you go with a 4 ohm...

    Help with the VSX45TX

    David, What exactly do you mean by bi-amp mode? DO you mean that you want to bi-amp your rear speakers? If so are you doing this with an external amp? You need to give us more detail.

    Pioneer VSX-45TX vs. Denon AVR-3803

    Dalton, I wonder if you and your friend had some sort of ground loop hum? Is that the kind of noise it was?

    Guy, SO you don't actually own the 45TX? I think if you did you would know how the volume works on the unit.

    Dalton, I have had my 45 for about 3 weeks and use the 5.1 inputs for DVD-Audio andhave not noticed any noise. How loud was it?

    pioneer elite vsx45tx

    Guy, The volume of the 45tx is adjustable in 1db increments. That is pretty standard for receviers. Most people can not tell 1db increments from each other.

    pioneer elite vsx45tx

    Dave, I have had my 45 for about 3 weeks now. I love mine also. I had a Sony DB930. I always found the sound closer to bright then neutral. I also ran my Sony and run the 45 with a Carver AV705X driving the front speakers. The 45 has a much more neutral sound to it. Really laid back. If...

    I took the plunge and bought a new receiver!

    Brian, I have the 45TX, I picked it up locally for ~$900. I was also considering the 525, Denon 3803, Sony 4ES, Onkyo 898. Here was my thoughts, I was looking at the Sony because it got good reviews and my old unit was a Sony so I would not have to reprogram my Pronto remote. The 3803 was...
