    Audio Rack

    I have the tall stand from wal-mart and love it. I saw one exactly like it by another company at Ultimate for 299.99, it was a no-brainer to go with the 79.99 one at wal-mart. :D

    Pioneer VSX-D811S problems

    Guys, as I've stated and the pioneer manual states, you can only use 8-16ohm speakers with the 811s. Just get the the jbls and your problem is solved.^^^There is no such switch on the 811s, the receiver is fixed to the 8-16 ohm range.

    Pioneer VSX-D811S problems

    I have a pioneer 850s and I'm telling you it won't handle 6ohm speakers. Look in your instruction booklet on the connecting speakers page. Under the Memo section it should state: Use speakers with a nominal impedance of 8ohms to 16ohms.

    Pioneer VSX-D811S problems

    What is the ohm of your speakers? If they are 4 or 6, the 811s will not handle them correctly. Unfortunately the 811s only handles 8ohm speakers correctly.

    If you think Thirteen Ghosts is bad, try The Others. It's the worst sounding dvd as far as volume level I've ever seen.

    7.1 Sound--HELP

    I have the 850s and I've never pressed the 7.1 button for anything. I selected sb in the set-up and left the sound mode in auto-detect and whenever I play Rush Hour 2, Blade 2, etc. the sb led lights up and sound comes from the back speaker.

    I have a MAJOR PROBLEM with my new 811s

    Thomas is correct. I have the 850s and the midnight setting makes music sound much better. It doesn't really do anything for dynamic range control as does the separate drc option. I guess this is something unique to pioneer. Musically the marantz line is a better option. The pioneer is great for...
