Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K 7-Channel A/V Receiver

Let me begin, the facility has been trial and error a few days. I would also recommend if you are a veteran of the electronic part of avsforum.com argue that these guys are a great help if you need questions that are asked. Okay, my review. This thing, if you setup is amazing. This product is HOT, literally.

My Setup. I have a 50in. HLT5087SAX Samsung DLP TV with LED light engine. Then I have a Samsung BD-P3600 Blu-Ray Player, Directv HR20 HD DVR and an Xbox 360 via oldschool Component Cable w / 5.1 DD.

Okay, I have the Blu-ray and go to the DirecTV DVR HDMI receiver. I have the audio go Directv as an optical digital cable, I met screwup with HDMI audio is not the change of standard-def audio from Audio HD. It was when I heard the audio on HD channels but not analog standard def channels. Thus, the optical cable removed.

Blu-Ray sound is incredible. I hear Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. It's phenomenal. I use bitstream audiophile on Blu-ray, so the uncompressed audio to the primary receiver sends decipher. PCM also works very well in the 2nd and third Audios (menu button) to hear the sound, but I prefer the recipient to decryption. So all I have is HDMI 1.3, so that the man watched the Blu-Ray at 24fps, and hear the film is impressive.

Cool is, and one of the main selling points was the HDMI upscaling. When you convert a component or analog source devices, which are granted to HDMI, so you can leave the TV input to HDMI 1 the whole time and just change the source and receiver on the receiver. My 360 has component 1080p, but I had 360 up to 1080i, because the largest component of signal receiver Pioneer video scaler will do is 1080i. So, once I have the 360 that I finally worked. Strange thing is that they show DVD movies on the 360 and Netflix movies on the 360 will be those that show 1080p @ 60Hz. Pretty sure that, for games, and Dashboard will only work with my 1080i installation. This method will tide me over until I have an Xbox 360 which has HDMI Jasper.

Regarding the fact, I have a 5.1 configuration and the receiver comes with this microphone that you plug-and-up in the middle of the room or in your favorite listening position. I did in the middle of the room on my camera at ear level for movie watching. I let it run for 5-8 minutes with a test tone test and he came back and set each speaker volume and distance, and also made my speakers so small, with great sounds from the subwoofer low. At all under his own power. So it's really the best place to be, self-configuring speakers. This technology is amazing.

Playing Gears of War 2 Launch turning gold, there are some nice bass this. He did not put my speakers too loud, but it sets the subwoofer is quite high, just because it handles all the bass sounds / tones on the LFE channel.

I have the Batman Begins and Dark Knight comes out on BluRay in 1080p @ 24Hz. The 24fps is! The same thing if they actually film the movie HiDef film. Moreover, the films play uncompressed audio, Dolby TrueHD! It is legendary. I also Wrestler and the film is the DTS-HD Master Audio, and a drama like that, it sounds really good.

Anyway, if you have up to $ 500 a shock new receiver or your receiver years has been on you after 8 years (like me) you can take the path of the VSX-1019AH-K happy.
