Official Pioneer SC-09TX/SC-LX90 Owner's Thread - Page 11

SS9001

surely SC-LX90 would last after 2012.. it was designed from scratch, so I wouldn't worry about a new model in two or three years....
After all a good amp and a good preamp are always good.... and Susano is good....

But we might see improvements (small upgrades to the current model) which maybe will come with new model numbers.. SC-LX91, SC-LX90 Mark II etc...
The same happened to VSX49 which became 79....

Here in Europe we has VSX-AX10, then VSXAX10iS.... then VSX-AX10AiS
The second had Ilink, the third improved room correction..
Basically the same amp....

However Pioneer was polite to provide to their customers the ability to upgrade VSX-AX10 to VSXAX10iS....


SUSANO was unlucky in PQLS over HDMI, a feature that came to Pioneer engineer heads after the introduction of Susano...

I think that it may not be a big deal if you have a good transport and a good DAC...

About the companion player LX90 in AVLAND has never reached the market and never will .... LX91 (from what i show in the pictures) is going to be a
hi-end Blue ray and only that....

The question is what about SACD and DVD audio....

From my point of view, if Pioneer doesnt include this formats in LX 91 or doesn't introduce a hi-end SACD-DVD-audio player with ilink.... it is their way to say that these formats come to an end and that they will be replaced by all the lossless DTS and Dolby surrund formats for audio reproduction.
This will be really intersting to see...


From my point of view SUSANO is a bargain for what it offers,a masterpiece of engineering and surelly all the above mentioned, should not keep everyone from buying it (hopefully i will get mine by the end of the year)

PS... and a one way road to the owners of 49-79 Pioneer players with ilink....

Well spoken ssak.

For those that seek a solution with one single player handling everything the Susano might fall short when paired with the possible BDP-LX91. However, for those of us that don't mind (even embrace!) the concept of several disc players it is a beautiful match

I for one, will connect it to an i.Link Pioneer DV-868 for music, a Denon DVD-3930 for DVD and a Blu-ray player for Blu-ray (currently a Panasonic DMP-BD10, later .... well that's a question!!). Heck, I will even connect an old CD-player

Not just for best in bred playback but also for pure comfort. Playing music while exchanging a TV series DVD while not touching the playback memory of the Blu-ray etc.

Hi, new soon to be owner here... {bought FilmMixers SC-09TX} with a question...

I recall reading you can get the OSD through HDMI {for Volume and such}if you are connected to a Pioneer Kuro... Is this Correct

If so would anyone happen to know if this also implies to the Pioneer Projector that was just released? I have all f my equipment in the room beside my theater and would love to be able to see the volume on the screen when I turn up the Volume in the other room. To me that is worth paying the extra $1000 for the Pioneer over the JVC RS2 if it is Possible.

Any insight on this matter would be great. Thanks in advance for those that help out.

Hehe.....BDP-09FD: Towards the bottom of the article "Black & Blue." We'll see, won't we?

When I spoke to Robert about this projector, it seems as if the only think Pioneer about it was the branding (and there is no SR+ input on it for sure)... for all other purposes, he said it is an RS2..

Yep, I agree. If the upcoming flagship BD-player doesn't have i.Link it's not a flagship.

As I recall you told ssak, "Well said," while agreeing with ssak's post about that BDP player has never came to market and NEVER will.

...and by that semantics there will be no Pioneer BDP flagship

But I might still buy if the "movie part" is outstanding but it's a tick less likely.

Greetings:
On reading your post about the fan noise, I went to power on mine. I put my ears very close to the front and even closer to the top. I did not notice or hear any fan noise. ( Am I going deaf?) .
I placed mine on a very study well reinforced wooden cabinet. Mine is dead quiet. I am yet to fire all speakers 10.1 as I do not have any BD source as of yet.
Based on the suggestion of those who have the Dv79avi, I won one on ebay today. I want to test it with Ilink and other goodies.
I also want to dress up the SC09TX with a full attire of complimentary gear for the Elite line.
I will also be adding an Elite CT W79 cassette deck replacing my old Yamaha CDR D651 , and Yamaha KX-W421.

gto.

Could you folks PM me with some good deals on the 09, it is eating at me.

Received my SC09TX Today, Only had time to take it out of the box and plug it in to make sure it powered on.

Initial Impressions are it's built like a tank {similar build quality to my Denon 5805} but with much greater attention to detail and esthetics.

LCD screen is fairly Vibrant

Remote is below average for a receiver of this cost but is replaced by a TSU9600 so thats o.k.

More thoughts soon to come cant wait to hear this baby sing...

Quick question,

Does anyone with this receiver have a pronto remote? It is not in the My Database section of prontoedit and the learning function of the TSU9600 is really garbage for me. I always have to try and learn everybutton 3 times fr some reason and most times it copies the code twice. My old prontos never had these problems before...

So if you have a any pronto remote or just the codes for each button I would really appreciate it if you could email me your configuration file. Thanks...

That is exctly what I needed... Thank you, Now I have alot of importing to do into my remote...

I appreciate your help.

Greetings:
I guess I will start to collect these types henceforth.

Please send me info as much as possible regarding online stores where they are available.
Thanks.

I just took delivery of my Pioneer Elite Pro 151FD TV today, this weekend I am going to play around with the Kuro link between the SC09 and the TV. See if I will be missing anything really important when I hook the receiver up to a projector when the theater is finished being built.

Susano har reached Sweden...

Correct ss9001 - I'll be in the basement for most of the weekend!

Some very minor corner damage to the box but nothing on the inside. Really a ridicoulus box. A (mobile phone) picture is attached - no antenna input as it lacks the tuner circuitry

George, the fan doesn't engage until the receiver warms up. You won't hear anything when you first power-up, or for some time thereafter.

In my case the first thing that I did after installing the unit was to run MCACC, and play a track from my reference CD. That was enough to get the fan going. I then played a few tracks from one of my reference SACDs, and the receiver got very hot to the touch. The fan ran for the whole session.

Curiously, we watched a movie the next evening and the receiver only got warm. The Dolby HD soundtrack wasn't too dynamic, but all of the speakers (7.1) were firing nonetheless. The fan was not running at the end of the movie, and I couldn't tell if it engaged during the movie. Fortunately the SC-09's fan isn't as loud as my projector, so the fan is a non-issue with movies. Music is where I have the problem.

Congratulations on your new display. I have the same model and it is really something special.

Yes...please do let us know about the connectivity with your SC-09. However, I've just learned from posts over in the Plasma forum that the Elite Pro 151 does NOT have an SR+ cable input! Posts there are saying it only has an SR (mono) input. From searching these posts, it's confusing what the implications of this would be. It seems that the OSD volume display may be available over HDMI, but it's unclear if any of the other settings that the SR+ cable is supposed to deliver will be available.

Greetings:

I have played music so loud, my wife had to come down to yell at me. (She vowed she will buy a monkey to slap me on my bald head if I do not stop playing the unit so loud, ) I have played movies all day I have not noticed any fan kicking in.

I just ordered a 79avi to dress up the Sc-09TX with. When it gets here, i hope to fire it up and play either a movie or Cd. Sorry, no DVD-A or SACd yet. I have 10.1 speaker system. All the speakers do not fire up yet, because no blue ray or Dts MA etc. I know the 9Tx gets hot, not too hot now, but noticing a fan or hearing a fan kicking in, I have not noticed it. Maybe when I play some loud music or watch movie with speakers on high volume, I will place my ears very close to the unit.
My Sc-09TX is well ventilated, and I am even planning to add a small fan to it to help blow hot air away.
Again, thanks for the head-up

to SS9001:

Thanks for the detailed info on where to find these discs.

George T. Omoregie

Yes, I have been playing loud here also

Plenty of power is available. I run it in a 7.1 configuration with bi-amping of the three front channels.

I got the Home Media Gallery working with my Windows Server 2008 (though not as trivial as with Vista I might add! PM me if you want details). No HTPC needed for me for quite some time!

Works excellent with i.Link and SACD/DVD-Audio. I run SACD in "Direct" mode for now in order to have the signal pass the MCACC system (although this results in a conversion of DSD -> PCM).

Sometimes it gets quite hot, sometimes not so. Can't really figure out when...but it became quite hot once after a playing of an SACD disc?!

I happened to hear the fan switch on when I was standing close to it but it's very quiet.

Collin... hows my baby holding up...

Waiting to hear your impressions...
