Hi, I want to watch OTA TV through my Pioneer receiver. Bought a Media Sonic HW180STB and I can't get any HDMI signal through the receiver. Connecting the STB to the TV direct was fine and all HDMI ports are working on the pioneer (confirmed with a roku). On further investigation, it seems...

 First of all thanks for any/all responses, I hope I am in the right thread. I'm updating my home theater from a *very* old system, basic issue is that I want to be able to use the TV's speakers instead of the surround sound, preferably without the receiver being powered on.   My hardware: *...

 Greetings,   I am looking for the best A/V receiver for under $300. I have narrowed my choices down to the following models:       - Sony STR-DH540       - Yamaha RX-V375       - Onkyo HT-RC430       - Pioneer VSX-822-K   I welcome any advise or suggestions as to which is the...

 I have a Pioneer VSX-822-k which has been great for about a year; however, more recently, if I turn it on after a few hours, I have video, but no sound. I have to switch to another input (game), then swap back to video (Mac Mini + Chrome + Plex Media Server). This trick worked ok for a few...

Hi all, I had a Pioneer VSX 822 that was malfunctioning that I returned. I'm looking for a new AVR. I have a 5.1 set of the Pioneer Andrew Jones - 4x SP-BS22, 1x SP-C22, and 1x SW-8MK2, 6 ohm. 1. I'd like the AVR to have something MCACC-like for auto calibration, but I would like to be able...

Hi all, After hooking up the Pioneer VSX 822 to 5 speakers and 1 subwoofer, I'm having trouble getting the subwoofer to fire sometimes. MCACC went well and recognized the sub. I don't have many sound inputs to test on, but here is what I've tried so far: FLAC file played by Android device...

Hi everyone, I am definitely new to the whole AVS scene so I have a rookie question that I am hoping that someone can answer. I have a Pioneer VSX 822-k AVR that I am trying to hook up as another source to our Nuvo Essentia whole home audio system. The Nuvo only accepts RCA jacks for the...

Hi all, I can't find an option to save/restore MCACC settings on the VSX 822. I'd like to have multiple settings like "couch", "general", etc, and be able to switch between them at-will without having to re-calibrate. Does the VSX 822 not have this feature? Thanks!

I am looking to replace a Pioneer VSX-822-K I bought about 11months ago. I have had nothing but problems with it. The network features have never really worked. It is constantly failing and the support is very poor. I wouldn't call myself a real audiophile but I would like a decent system...

 I have a Pioneer VSX-822K receiver that I am trying to connect my Windows 7 PC to using HDMI and then display on my Samsung LED PC.  The receiver has 6 HDMI inputs and one output.  I have successfully connected my Blu-ray player and home security camera to the receiver and it displays on the...

I recently purchased a Pioneer VSX-822 AVR and have a 2010 mac mini connected to the AVR via HDMI. The video works, but there is no Audio. If I connect the mac mini into my tv, and then the tv into the receiver, I get video AND audio. Reading a number of previous threads (all about 3 years...

I need to replace the Pioneer because it's toast due to a spill. I'm running Martin Logan MLT-1 5.1 Speakers and looking to spend about $250 at Newegg or another deal site. The new version, pioneer VSX-822-K didn't get that great of reviews.

 Hello All,   I need you guys' help!     I currently own a Polk PSW10 (don't laugh...I got if for $69 shipped lol).  I'm ready to take the next step and upgrade to a quality sub on a somewhat limited budget.  I would like to keep it at $600 or less...or even less than that if y'all think I...

Alright, so I've been rocking a HTIB from Pioneer for many moons. The heart of which is an SX-315. I need at least 3 HDMI inputs and I will be using the Pioneer's speakers to save cash. The passive sub is not an issue as I have an amp if needed. Nearest I can figure, the speakers are up to 167w...

 New to this forum and new to the home theater, I'm about to move into a house and the living room is 16X14 with vaulted ceilings. I currently just bought POLK surround sound because it was on sale over Thanksgiving black Friday, front speakers the POLK Monitor 60's, my center is Polk CS2, the...

My Onkyo receiver went out bought this Pioneer VSX-822-K without realizing my passive sub wouldn't work with this setup. I bought a Polk Audio PSW10 sub woofer and it is whisper quiet with the Onkyo speakers that came with the receiver. . I went over the manual and the VSX-822 thread with no...

Trying to replace a 15 year old lower line Denon and using a Polk Soundbar. Is this a good buy @ $150 for a factory refurb?

 I found a decent deal (or what I think is decent) on a VSX-822-K. It's selling for about $200 new right now. The only thing that has me worried about it is some of the reviews talking about the receiver starting to go bad relatively quickly. It also has more than I need in terms of airplay and...

 By doing some research and reading a lot of reviews I have a few questions hopefully the knowledgeable folks here can chime in on.  In some reviews I see comments about how Audessy etc correct a "hot tweeter" and other problems with speakers that I admittedly know nothing about!  Is the...
