Official Pioneer SC-09TX/SC-LX90 Owner's Thread - Page 124

Thanks JAN...not quite sure what a "tide setup" means, hopefully...nice/good et al . BTW, nice job on the cooling issue....

Thanks Chris! I'm strictly using two-channel until I get the 151 on the wall... to make room on the stand for the HTM1...and the rears wired-in .

Any recommendations for wall mounts anyone? My dealer prefers the Sanus low-profile over the mega-buck Pioneer PWM-6111 ($389 CAD...). I have no real need for a tilt/swivel/pull-out model.

LOL. ya the filters were on. The danley is now shaking my couch. Tomorrow ill check my mcacc setting in morn i have been working so much i barely get time to fool around with my theatre stuff and i have been to lazy to read the manual. thanks for your help

^^^

a classic. i haven't seen that in forever...

you KNOW what i'm doing right now... although it would be better if it was monaco this morning like it is supposed to be...

i think we need to organize an "ice club" meeting in texas in 2012...

well, it was charles, but i'll take credit since it was good info...

check the "flat panel" subforum and look for the "perfect furniture" thread... mounts are discussed at length there... something to keep in mind, the 60" kuros have a "wide" thread pattern, so make SURE the mount you choose will fit... depending on the mount, you may need to buy an adaptor kit as well (for example, when i put mine on the synergy mount, it required a separate adaptor kit)....

Glad you finally found out how to attach pictures Steve

HARMAN KARDON Announces HDMI v.1.4a with 3D
Harman Kardon is a company that thinks ahead and one of the greatest features we provide on our AVR receivers is the ability to upgrade them when new firmware and technologies become available. To accommodate the excitement of 3D Video, Harman Kardon is pleased to announce a two prong strategy to deliver compatibility with the latest advancement in consumer electronics.

Starting in September, all Harman Kardon AVR 2600, AVR 3600 and AVR 7550HD models will be shipping with HDMI v.1.4a with 3D. This will allow full compatibility with all 3D formats from either Blu-ray players or satellite and cable services.

At the same time, all current owners of these models, regardless of the date of purchase, will be able to update their existing AVR's to HDMI v.1.4a with 3D. This upgrade will be available at no charge from www.harmankardon.com. All you will need to do is download the software to a USB memory stick, insert the stick drive into the front panel USB jack of your AVR, and with a few button presses on the remote control, the AVR will be upgraded. No direct connection between the computer and AVR is required or software loader is required, greatly simplifying the upgrade process.


Well done Harman.... Pioneer Electronics are you listening ?

Everybody should copy and paste this into an email to Pioneer North America's email for C/S. If a competitor is doing it, they had better follow suit. Whether I agree with the 3D craze or not, this is an important upgrade. I also like the idea of how easily it is accomplished without having to schlep the SC-09 monster into a shop to have it done.

My apologies...and thanks to Charles & Chris or...Chris & Charles .


After (unsuccessfully) searching the forum/thread you mentioned...I eventually gave up. I don't doubt the information I'm looking for is there, somewhere...just too much info. to wade through. Thanks anyway .

Roger

Why do I have this feeling that all the emails in the world won't make any difference...

roger, i just bought one of these: clicky

it's supposed to be here tomorrow, so i should be able to get someone to come over by the end of next weekend to help me hang it... i'll let you know how it turns out...

if it makes you feel any better, you aren't alone...

even as a soon to be ex-owner (mine is for sale in the classifieds if anyone wants one), i wish pio would come through on the desired susano upgrades... it would show some commitment to the marketplace on their part... the a/v world "needs" pioneer around... they are the cem who pushes the envelope the most at the top end of the feeding chain...

look at displays... they've basically stagnated since pioneer left the market... sure, there's been a few improvements on paper from everyone else, but no one has approached the kuro yet, and it doesn't look look like anyone will soon... had "flagship division" pio survived the meltdown of the world economy and they had cranked out the 10g (not to mention whispering now about 80" 3d kuros to be announced at ces in 2011, as long as i'm dreaming out loud ), you bet your bippy that the other cems would be ahead of where they are now... heck, there isn't anything i can think of out there that even equals a 8g, let alone a 9g...

sadly, i'm really starting to believe that the susano was the peak of the avr world (similar to the kuro being the peak of the pdp world), and not only aren't we going to see another flagship from pioneer again, we are likely to not see a real "throw the best parts, cutting edge technology and massive amounts of engineering together and see what we get" flagship from anyone again...

similar to the "boutique" marques, the time of the flagship has passed... it's not economically viable any longer, and people are no longer as swayed by halo marketing as they once were... guys shopping for a 1020 don't care one iota that the sc-09 is the baddest boy on the planet...

Looks very similar to the SanusSystems VMP3L-B...click

BTW, just make sure that pdp is 'er...well hung .

roger

yup, that sanus was the other one i was considering...

lol! oh, it will be... when mounting anything "heavy", i always give the mount a real good stress test before actually putting anything on it...

steve... well, i'm not going to "go" anywhere, i'll still be here... i'm still a pioneer ho', but they don't have anything for me right now...

i have to eat my words about "never going back to separates"...

here's the plan as it stands... i have a bryston 9b-st on it's way here for amplification... "someone" around here has a nib integra 9.9 pre-pro that they offered me at a REAL good price, so i'm going to hook that up and see what we get... i'm also toying with the idea of a pre-pro with a ht bypass for 2 channel listening...

then we'll sit back and see what pops up for processors as time goes by...

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
(with the black & white spiral spinning in background as I fall ever downward.)

OK, well maybe. Having owned all the Pio flags since the D1S, maybe it's good that the end is coming. Most of the Pio flags were high quality maybe pseudo-flags as I could afford them early on and not super flags. Co's can lose their way and their business as a result.

I am toying with a cheaper (highest low end) Pio with new features as a processor with 1.4a & Bluetooth A2DP. It would be cheaper than using a Chordette DAC just for Bluetooth, and have the DSX & IIz. iPhone control, etc. That way I amortize my "Susvestment" and stick with Pio.

Folks laughed when I complained about Onk's lack of updates then I went back to the much higher priced flagship. I guess I'm not laughing now

The SC-07 has Auto Level Control (ALC) on 2 channels, and the SC-27 has ALC on multi-channel.

I haven't been able to figure out from the manual or the forums: does the SC-09 have ALC or any other volume control technology?

Tim, that could be a viable way to get some new while waiting to see what happens. Were you thinking of plugging a new one into the 09's analog inputs to use its amps?
