I spoke with two different folks at Panasonic this week and both said that it has HDMI 1.1. They also said that there would be a firmware update to do java 1.1 Should I believe them?

True. I am in the process of comparing the Onkyo 805 and Pioneer 91tx. In both cases when I go back and forth between adui formats I can tell the difference. I am stepping up from the Pio 1014tx so both sound fantastic. I mean really fantstic. So I will be going back and forth with them through...

I did have the latest firmware. The Sony rep i spoke with said it simply did not have the right decoder for MA. Firmware does not fix everything. Lots of people seem to think so. Anyhoo... if you look around at lots of other boards you will see it will never do MA. I have the Oppo 981...

I test the PS3 along with the Panny for about a week plus. As I stated elsewhere the PS3 is slick and quick. Aside from that the Panny won in all other regard. IMHO. The PS3 will never do DTS MA. the Panny at least does HD. Don't know if the PS# does. The PS3 is a terrible upconverter, it runs...

Good potential not so good execution. I took mine back. It was running real hot and the clicking/popping was just too much. Onkyo said they are aware of the problem and thier engineers are working on a fix. I tired a line conditioner and same thing: click click click. I am nor trying the 805.

I got the 605 today and I am noticing some persistent clicking coming from the speakers. Anyone else? I know one person did. Is there something I am not adjusting? I have a panny 10a nd Diretv HD DVR. Any ideas about the clicking? At this rate I am going to take it back.

I have been doing some testing of the BD10A along with the PS3> I had herd that the PS3 is great BD player. SO far I can say that the PS3 is slick and quick. The Panny is a little slower in all areas. Noticeably so but not mind numbing. I just picked up an Onkyo that does all the advanced audio...

I need some help understanding a couple of things. In the audio setup portion of the 10A it gives the choices of PCM or bitstream for Doldy TrueHD. When would I use one over the other? Also, as I asked elsewhere, I have an older Pioneer 1014TX. If I use the Multichannel connections will I get...

If I have a new Panny 10A player and an older Pioneer (1014tx) receive. WHat are my audio options? If I upgrade the receiver to say an Onkyo 805 then what can i do? Basically I want to know how to listend to DOby HD and DTS HD MAster.

I have read the thread concerning the power outage issue. Sounds li good service lacks with PIO. I guess am lucky to reprt that the pwoer has gone out on me a couple of times with no ill effects.

I went into my box of tricks and I have plenty of cables. So all I need is six audio video cables to do this hook up for the SACD DVD-A? Can I use the yellow wire or is that really video specific?

Just got a floor model 578 at BB for fifty bucks. So far so good. It did not come with a remote but my Harmony can handle it. Also I have a 1014 and the remote for that works it as well. Now, anyone know where I can get a manual? I can get it from Pioneer but it will cost 12 bucks. $3.41 for the...

You have to do your homework with BB. The same day I went in to buy my 1014 that was online for 399 at the store THEIR site showed 449. I was going to walk and then the manager saad let me see something. Went to the back for about three minutes and gave me the price match. It can be done...

I am what you would call a newbie at all this who just got a Pioneer 1014. So far it ia amazing. I had a HK AVR 25 for the last seven years. But Can someone be kind enough to explain the Crossover feature or what crossover is for the sub and how it works? Thanks!!

Not to beat a dead horse to death but...why not? Is it simply because as I have read these sellers sell below a specific price point? It would seem that Pioneer sells to a distributor who then sells to retailers at whatever price they negotiate. If the price is too low then no warranty. Or...

I was able to verify that Wells Digital buys from a Pioneer authorized distributor. When asked why then the warranty from Wells would not be honored the answer was that Pioneer has no way to verify if that is true. I then asked isn't there someway to track who has what and the rep said no. I...

I suppose beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What is beautiful to me in this arena is price and performance. But to each his own. At least the flames are not as bad here as in photography forums when discussing similar issues I posted a question about online retailers and warranty issues...

I am looking at purchasing the Pioneer 1014. There are wide price variations on line. I am aware of the authorized, unathorized status given to these companies by Pioneer and the effect on the warranty. Seems all the authorized stores are selling it for the higher price. My questions are: 1...
