I think you misunderstood. I am not annoyed that the price is more. I am annoyed that they are arbitrarily inflating the price of the 60 inch set. If it was 8% more like the 50 I'd have no complaints. It is price gouging plain and simple.

Pioneer Canada - THE GRINCH THAT STOLE CHRISTMAS I was shopping this Christmas and Boxing Day (Canada) for a Pioneer Elite PRO-150FD Plasma. I was very disappointed when I found out what was going on with prices. The list price for the 50 inch model is $500 or 8% more in Canada than the...

Thanks. I'll look forward to a report when you get one. Sincerely, Keith

Since these are one of the few TV's capable of taking a 1080p signal on their digital inputs I thought I see some discussion here but couldn't find any. Read a very good review in Sound and Vision. Was curious if anyone has seen one in person. In case anyone is wondering there has been a raft...

I'm confused about something. Both my pre-amp and DVD player allow me to set up speakers, bass setting etc. How do I know and more importantly control which ones are being used? My real preference is for the DVD (regardless of analogue or digital output) to simply pass it's signal to the...

I have reported the following bug/anomoly to SFI. --------------------------------------------------------- From: Keith Fox Date: 2003/08/02 Sat AM 11:02:47 EDT To: Subject: AVM20 V2.10 Notch filter and Bass Peak limiter problem I just installed V2.10 and found a Notch filter and...

And we didn't have to wait until Friday! Reading manual, so happy... :)

Thanks I exchanged the unit and it seems to work just fine. The new one was built in June 01 (on the unit) and shipped in Dec 01 (on the box) which I bought May 02 - sure took a long time to sell that one! Anyway the firmware seems to be 188. Another question about the firmware update. I...

Manufacted date on back is April 2001 so I suspect the 155 is the firmware number. Keith

I bought a RP91 yesterday. I'm returning it today. It only made it through 1 disc in 10 without hanging. Also, I checked the firmware. I think I did it correctly. The display read: H088 50G155 Does that mean this was Firmware 155? (much older than the current 236/250) Do you think...

I have had mine since the beginning of January. I am very happy with it.

Alex Yang - RE: MCA50 vs PVA7 - I didn't have the PVA7 and MCA50 at the same time so I couldn't do any comparison. I had to return the PVA7 so the dealer would give me my MCA 50 :) Anyway - I would say the differences were subtle but the MCA50 definitely gets the nod, the extra power is...

I have been using the AVM-20 since the beginning of January and a matching MCA 50 since the end of January. The dealer 'loaned' me a PVA7 in the interim, which I returned when the MCA 50 came in. All in all I must say I am very happy with the combination. A couple good examples. On the...

I got my AVM20 at the start of January and matching MCA50 a few weeks later as soon as they shipped. System is breaking in very nicely. I have nothing but good things to say. I will post more later. I have the MCA50 connected via the balanced inputs. It's construction is very different than...

Whats with the the SRP on the DVD9000 ? $3500 :frowning: I think this makes the Pioneer Elite DV-47A "Universal" DVD Player that also includes SACD in addition to DVD-Audio for $1200 well worth looking at. Hopefully Pioneer got their act together in the progressive video dept.

New specs are up on SFI website

Kevin - re spec sheets. I saw a preliminary FAXed spec sheet. I don't remember the exact numbers but the amp was beefed up considerably in all areas (total output, transformers, etc). Ask your dealer for any help. Sihan - My dealer has got the MCA20 in and listened and compared it with the...

Sean, I believe the price for the 5 channel amp went from $1400 USD List to approx $2000 USD List. Keith

I forgot price is going up as well to match increase in performance - about 30% I think. I do not think the older (less expensive/powerful) line can be ordered anymore. You will have to go with dealer stock or wait for the new amp and pay more (but you get more too :) )

Oh yeah ... new name is MCA50... to diffrientiate. There will also be a MCA20 and MCA30 but interestingly no MCA70. Keith

It went into production mid-December. First shipments due to dealers in mid-late Jan if all goes well. I have one on order to match my AVM20 (currently have PVA-7 on loan from dealer). Dealer had FAX copy of new spec sheet. Keith

I was fortunate enough to see this movie at a 35mm IMAX theater. The Orthanc ?sp scenes kept giving me vertigo! I do wish it had been closer to the book, but then it would have been 5 hours long! I REALLY can't wait for next December now :) Guess I'll have to make do with the DVD. Any clues as...

As it turns out HDTV is not going to be available in my area of Toronto until Feb -- likely just late enough to miss the Super Bowl :frowning: Anyway, I ordered the regular digital TV box. I'll get that hooked up and talk with Rogers in the new year when the phones are less busy about getting...

4. I guess I was confused. When you order online you order the digital service including the digital terminal in the usual way using the shopping cart. When you order the HDTV terminal you use a separate(hastily thrown together) form. It looked as if there were two boxes. I thought it was...

Can't get through to Rogers on phone - too busy. Can someone answer the following connectiviy questions. I want to know what cables I need to buy. I have ordered online already - can't wait!!!!!!! :) :) :) 1) HD video connectivity (to TV)- Component Video Y/N 2) Analogue video connectivity...

Evan, You are on the right track. Balanced connection require a receiver or pre-pro with balanced outputs. (I am not aware of any receivers with balanced connections) Think of them like the difference in video connections, composite on the bottom, s-video in the middle, and component on top...

Home Theater is not my only hobby. I did buy a Boxster this summer-- so don't worry about me enjoying myself :)

Dalton -- I guess I am just frustrated that a year goes past and well known flaws are still not corrected but I do understand your point. What I really want is a 'good' progressive DVD, 5-6 changer, DVD+DVD-audio+Sacd that can also be used as a CD changer and has controls that are useful for...

The RP56 is MUCH better than the RP91 from a video perspective and is certainly one of the best out there, especially when you take the price into account. Link Removed The 56 failed--with a score of 6 seconds A -Abyss Chapter 4 w/ subtitles on. Pass if no combing on subtitles. Resulting...
