    Problems with Pioneer Elite VSX-24TX

    Marshawn, I own a 27TX and I can tell you that something is wrong for sure. I have used DTS in Standard and THX modes without so much as a hiccup for over a year. I own almost all the movies you mentioned (SPR I own on LD. DD version)and they have all played as they are suppose too...

    Pioneer Elite Recievers and dts...

    Tim, I have the 27TX, so it's very close spec wise. I personally think that DTS on this unit sounds about the same as Dolby Digital. I didn't feel this way at first but, as time went on and using different speakers, this is now my position. When I first received this unit, I thought that DTS...

    THX.. who uses it and with all DVDs or just some?

    I like the sound of THX and use it on all my movies ( except for Se7en which states not to). I didn't use to with my old speakers because, with those speakers, it would vary greatly from film to film. With my THX speakers, it is very consistant. IMO, the two need each other to strut it's...

    What are your thoughts on the M&K 750 THX system?

    I have the L/C/R of the 750 system. I love their sound. I pretty much agree with what the others have stated. However, I don't feel the lack at all in music. Again this is my opinion.

    Need new receiver! How important is THX certification?

    Kelly, I am one of the few, I enjoy the THX processing on most material. Why I do agree that it isn't a must for 5.1 encoded material, imo it really makes Pro-logic shine. I tend to use it better than 90% of the time on 5.1. I do also have THX speakers and tend to agree with Bryan. Until I...

    DC locks up on NFL2K2

    My MFG date is Nov of 2000. So much for that theory.

    DC locks up on NFL2K2

    I purchased mine about 6 months ago. But, being that I purchased it from Sears, who knows how old the stock was. I'll check the date on it. Now that Sega's titles well be on darn near everyone's consoles, I too will probably just get it on the PS2 or something. It just sort of eats at me, that...

    DC locks up on NFL2K2

    Well, I play 10 min quarters, pro level, franchise mode. I haven't customize anything! Not the players, weather, plays...nothing. It should not be a heat thing for, the DC is out of the rack when in use. Plus, I have central air so, I know the temp should not be an issue. Well, I'm hoping it's...

    DC locks up on NFL2K2

    It seems to happen fourth or fifth time I play it. And of course it is in a game when I am kicking the CPU's butt! I don't have this problem with other titles (it did happen once or twice on NFL2K1) Has anyone else had this problem?

    VSX-39 able to power Maggie MMG?

    I run an 27TX (which has the same ratings as the 39TX) with M&K 750's. These are 4 ohm. I have had no problems and the sound is great. I think you would be okay/happy with the MMG's mated to the Elite. However, every where I've read Maggie people state they really open up with more power.

    Thoughts on the Energy e:XL-C2 center channel speaker?

    Keith, It maybe the disc. I get the same sound that you mentioned. My center isn't the same as yours but, I get the same results. I am not convinced that your center speaker is lacking. I believe the disc to be at fault.
