I was considering purchasing a sub eq and a seperate amp (well, the amp [Emotiva MPS2]is still in the picture when the money is right) After reading the thread and making a few minor changes based on your questions and feedback to each other, I am really feeling like I spent some good money. The biggest diffrence I noticed is the tightness and punchiness of the sub. I mean it sounds better than it has in the little more than a year that I have owned it. My daughter (16) even said to me that the overall sound is clearer and more open. I cannot thank you guys enough. Sorry for the long post. I am just so happy about this. My 890s are singing like birds.

Thanks again for the help.

It stuck on +12 DB and didn't move no matter which way I turned the knob. Tried the remote and it had no effect at all either. Had to power the unit off. Then I turned it back on and it went back to my normal -16 db and the volume control now would change the volume level. Whoa here. This is not good. Anybody have a 94 that does this same tirck?

Anyone have an idea of how I can avoid this? My only solution I can think of is to set the #4 to TV instead of HDMI 4. I was trying to avoid this though. Thanks

Any firmware updates would address specific issues so if you arent having any trouble with your receiver then there is no need to go sending it to a service center. My receiver is experiencing the Neural Radio issue so I will be sending it in for the updated firmware to resolve it.

Rich

Fixed 3 last week for that problem. Now I suppose the same thing could cause
the volume to jump to max. I wonder if it is jumping to full or if it is incrementally increasing to full. The problem I am seeing with the 92's also affects the 94's as well. I do not know the exact serial# ranges off the top of my head but many receivers may develop this problem. More likely to happen after the unit warms up. I take you are out of your return window? If not take it back.

I can,t even get any decent AM station and get only a few passable FM stations and I'm only 25 miles from the downtown of a city of 4 million people!

HMG? Plugged up a flashcard in the USB port with music and pictures on it . . . nothing!

And, since the Pio 94 has a USB port (and a network connection) why can't we download and install our own firmware updates?

It does do good music, blu-ray, and HT, but what am I supposed to do? Find a pio dealer to do the updates with everyone that comes out?

I bought my 94 two weeks ago. Got it home and says it was manufactured in January 2008. I suspicion I have major old firmware problems.

I am beginning to wonder if I got the wrong receiver. I am disappointed and don't know what to do . . . I liike the receiver . . . but . . . I just don't know what to do now . . .

Man, this feels too much like whining and therapy! :-)

Miserable I must say, but with no other authorized service in my area I bit the bullet and brought it in. I had been waiting to post on this issue until I knew how things turn out. I am scheduled for mid next week...

I appreciate the heads up on the separate upload for HMG. I knew that they refer to the overall firmware version (currently 1.6 I believe Pioneer told me? - not sure) and also to the network firmware version (I am at 3.5.15.6534) so I will be sure and give them the heads up as well.

I cannot get better service than that. I would buy from him again in a heartbeat. I also decided to put a dual fan unit on top of the chassis to eleminate any heat problems.

I just recently upgraded my receiver to the 94TXH. I don't have a ethernet connection in my HT room. I do have a wireless router / modem downstairs (2Wire from SBCGlobal). Question is, can two wireless routers be connected together? I doubt this, but I thought I'd throw it out there. If not, my only other route is to start punching holes in the walls and create a hard-wired network. Also, if I did go this route, what would be more practical, a switch or a router?

I would greatly appreciate any and all responses and sorry if this is the wrong thread to be posting these kinds of questions.

I was just curious how things are going with your firmware upgrades. Did you get the receiver back yet? Hopefully your Neural Radio issue is resolved.

I have a 92 with no problems (knoock on wood), but my theater is in a finished basement that is always pretty cool.
