I like the sound from my Pioneer much better, but it was limited on inputs. So I kept the Sony. Now looking to upgrade everything excpet the speakers. TV and receiver. I like what the SC-37 says, but can't find where to buy? any suggestions?

So connect the receiver to the internet (wired I guess) and you can control your receiver throug the web.

In other words if safari compliant I can pull up the controls on the iphone etc.........

Somebody want to buy my SC-07?

There is also a free Pioneer iPhone/iPod application that is two way which gives you volume, source selection, etc... has a couple of "fluff" functions, but for a basic remote it looks promising.

Thank you

It uses the Texas Instruments (TI) DAC's.

Inquiry:Interested in the New SC-37 but need to know if Pioneer will be using Wolfsen DACS similiar the ones found in the older SC-27?

This information will help make my decision.

I also think that it is possible that this individual does not know the difference between the DSP's and the DAC's. TI has been providing the DSP's for many CE's for years, It is also possible when the final specs are released for the 37 that they will indeed still be using the Wolfson DAC's. If not the Burr Browns are just as good.

This answers my question as to why my VSX-94 doesn't shut down with 6 ohm speakers, but my SC-25 does! Apparantly, these newer models are more prone to shut downs....

"My AV receiver says OVERLOAD and shuts off, what should I do?
Poor wiring connections, bad wires or a bad speaker may cause this. As you increase the volume, you will increase the amount of current you are drawing from the receiver. To troubleshoot this issue, try the following:

1.Disconnect each speaker wire connection. Inspect for any frayed or damaged wiring and replace it.
2.Check the impedance of the speakers; make sure they are properly rated for your stereo. In most cases, they need to be 8 ohms. Only a few Pioneer receivers will support lower impedance.
3.If the problem still continues, try these steps:
1.Turn the receiver off.
2.Remove one speaker.
3.Turn the receiver on.
4.Increase the volume.
If the receiver overloads, repeat steps 1-4 (selecting a different speaker each time). If you disconnect a certain speaker and the receiver no longer overloads, have this speaker checked at a service center. It could have a bad speaker component, like a tweeter, sub-woofer, or even a bad crossover."

As for the other Manufacturers, I simply cannot comment as I live in New Orleans and do not have much to choose from.

If I move the BD83 slightly (i.e. to clean/ dust the unit), there is good chance that the cord will fall out from the back. I first noticed this when the unit would not power on after a week of using it. I thought it was just my luck and that the Oppo was broken already. I soon discovered the issue with the cord. I still have the BD83 and love it but this is another case of poor craftmenship.

You can search the issue under the BD83 thread.
