    PIONEER VSX-24TX and it Elite Family- are they good?

    David, What a surprise!! Well now you can answer my questions about downconversion and scanning. Compared with your Sony, how does the 05 perform? For an example to check downconversion, at the 10 minute point in Alien, watch the spaceship go by. Pay attention to the horizontal structures...

    Greg, You answered your own question. You know that the 24TX is a better value, but you want those extra goodies on the 27TX. My thinking was that there wasn't enough difference between the 24 and 26, but the extra cost of the 27 was in "luxury" item that I might like to have but didn't...

    Anyone, What is the default setting for "Bass Peak Level". Somehow I changed this setting, and I was getting a very low level of output to the subwoofer. I changed it to +12 and it seems to sound OK now. But what should it be set to? Fred

    David S, One other thing: you keep refering to a three-year warranty. The warranty information that cam with my 24TX states that the warranty is for only two years. Perhaps there is a different warranty in Canada? Fred

    David (C and/or S), ...THX Select certified which gives me the flexibility of using THX post processing on certain movies... Why not use THX on all movies? If not, how would you know on which movies to use it? Fred
