I have the Pioneer 505, my cabinet was built for my previous AVR and the 505 is a tighter fit, I was concerned about ventilation, so I bought an AC Infinity USB powered fan, plugged it into the rear USB, and placed it behind the AVR. I cannot hear it when it's on the low speed and the AVR stays...

Congratulations on your new AVR. I have been using mine since January and have had no issues.

My listening area is the living room, 5.1 speaker setup. Speaker placement and my listening position is not optimal, but it is what I have to work with. The difference I hear switching between Dirac on/off and between direct/pure direct/auto surround is changes in volume and brightness of the...

I have been listening with the Dirac calibration for a little over a week. I have had time to learn about tweaking it and have tried using some of the Harmon curves. In my case the baked in curve was so close it seemed pointless to change, but I did it anyway. in all cases the overall sound is...

This morning thewhen I turned on the AVR there was a relay that was stuck in a rapid switching mode. This continued after a power cycle. I did a factory reset but the rapid clicking continued so I started troubleshooting. Turned out there was some issue between the AVR and the Roku...

I started using the VSX-LX505 January 10. Equipment connected to the AVR is ... LG C2, PS5, Xbox Series X, Roku, Sony BD player and a computer is connected via LAN for music and the network interface. Speakers are all Klipsch ... RF83, RC62, RS42. The Harmony programming app for the Harmony One...

Thanks, If the hardware remains the same, changes to room correction algorithms do not matter too much to me. I have always waffled between using room correction (MCACC and Audyssey) and keeping it turned off. While it does change the sound so it is different I don’t really know if I think it...

This tidbit of information sorta makes me regret buying the Pioneer VSX-LX505 which will arrive on Monday. Hopefully the $200 discount Electronics Expo had on Amazon will be enough to quell the FOMO for anything cool that drops in 2023. If this is only related to Dirac it really does not matter...

Last night I saw Electronics Expo (through Amazon) is selling the VSX-LX505 for $1499.00. I went ahead and bought one so unless I overthink this to infinity and beyond I am no longer in the market. The page says there are 3 left as of 0740 2022/12/31 Thanks again for responding to my question.

Thank you.

Hello, I am considering a new AVR. Is there any information available about Pioneer having new models for 2023 ?
