The supplied CD is only a PDF file. Re MCACC, the manual says- Switch on TV and receiver “ tv to the input that connects the receiver Connect mcacc mike Press receiver on remote(if I do this when it is on it turns off as it is already on) then press Home Menu button on remote Home menu...

ok, thanks for the info

That sounds logical, I will insert the disc that came with the receiver into the blue ray player and see what happens.

(I have a blue ray DVD player connected to my Pioneer VSX527 amp via hdmi)There are 2 analog inputs for audio in named" assignable (CD)"- can I connect a audio cassette tape deck to these inputs ?

Connected an optical cable and still have a problem. It has been connected from the optical out on the TV to the optical in TV/Sat port on the receiver.I made sure the cable “clicked” each end when fitted and the cable shows red at the amp end when the TV is on. Now all I am hearing when I set...

Considering those comments,I think I will use optical connections instead

My Samsung ES8000 TV has a HDMI connection that supports A.R.C.. It is connected via a HDMI cable (Monster 15.8Gbps ARC 1.4) to my Pioneer VSX 921 AV Receiver that supports ARC.I cannot find a way of playing the audio from the TV thru the receiver.Can any one help please

So, Which is going to show me a better picture, a Clear Motion Rate of 200hz or a frame rate of 100?

I am looking into purchasing a 32in and a 40 TV (in the UK).I am not sure about the terms some manufacturers are sometimes using to describe frames rates.Below is some sales speak as an example.Does this really mean that a” CMR of 200hz” is twice as good as a “frame rate” of 100hz...

I am only guessing here, but do you need to "tell" the receiver where the sound is coming from?

sorted it, as you can see

Thanks for that, those speakers are a bit awesome, just a tad bigger than my Cambridge Audio Min 10s!:)

How do I get an image into this forum

How do I set my location so that it shows under my name when I post ?

Think I am beginning to see the light at the end of tunnel. The cable I have used would normally be used to connect the router to the PC if a wireless connection to the PC was not being used, nothing else is incorporated in the cable. The thing attached to the PCs usb port is a little box with a...

Gene, my fault, my excuse is my ignorance, I did not realise that Pioneer, in their wisdom would build in so many differences in a model with the same name. Must remember to mention I have a UK model.(which did come with a CD, BTW). Al, think I am confusing you when perhaps using non standard...

I am having problems on basic set up with my Pioneer VSX 921 receiver. I have XP home and a wireless router connecting to a usb adapter that receives signals from it, to the PC.I have connected the LAN sockets on the receiver and PC via cable.A message on my desktop tells me that the local area...

Jackie, welcome to the overwhelmed members club! .......................Ken

Hope I have not confused the issue here Gene, the last post was not Jackie but me.

In my 7.1 set up, I have connected the 2 rear speakers to" Surround "and the 5th and 6th speakers that make it 7.1 to "Surround Back."Is this correct?

Thanks for all that info Gene, I did not find a hint of incoherence in it and I hope your time spent on it did not spoil the enjoyment of watching even the bad game.I must admit I did not ecpect all this to be so involved, thought everything would be taken care of automatically.If I had not...

Gene C, you previously said "Ken, keep your eye on this thread over the next few days and maybe I can come up with some other changes/settings you might be interested in. I have to do a little research first since your 921 is a bit "different" from ours." I dont want to push my luck or push you...

I dont understand why a splitter or booster is needed just because the antenna cable is being routed through these units to the TV

What ever speakers you end up with, dont use them without using MCACC set up, details will be in the user manual +/or the disc that came with the 1021.This will calibrate the speakers to match the room.

At present I have a non HD TV connected via a scart to a non HDMI DVD player.The 5.1 sound is from a non HDMI in the box Panasonic SA-XR15 AV Control receiver.This feeds the sub and speakers. Can I replace the TV and DVD player just by making an HDMI connection to the new TV from the new DVD and...
