    Pioneer Elite VSX-LX505 Owners Thread

    I did get it to work at one point then I ended up going with a multi room setup for a bit so I had to repurpose the output again. Hopefully I’ll get it working again at some point but it’s a lower priority for me. Hopefully they’ll come out with a newer system at some point that has a 4k120+...

    Yeah the 505 should have the 3 year warranty.

    Pioneer Elite VSX-LX505 Owners Thread

    Just started having my first real problem with my LX505 and that’s some center channel distortion. Swapped to a different speaker and cable as well as doing a reset and reloading Dirac but still the same issue. Also I’ve had to start power cycling almost every start up to get sound. I have an...

    Pioneer Elite VSX-LX505 Owners Thread

    Yeah… it’s been an ongoing issue after the last receiver update so I think once the next major firmware update goes through for the TV it should be fixed. Samsung can be notoriously slow around the time their new models come out :) the fact that it only happens with this TV and not my other one...

    Pioneer Elite VSX-LX505 Owners Thread

    I’m Im pretty sure I had the first 505 in the US and am still happy with it since launch. Only one bug I’ve run into, and it’s mainly related to earc..I think it’s more on the tv end where occasionally it doesn’t put out sound from any input until a power cycle. If I don’t use my earc it never...

    Now that these receivers have been out for about 6ish months… just curious what the owners other than me think about them… any new problems etc :)

    All it says is Advanced MCACC and it’s separate from the Dirac setup -I haven’t tried it though, I had Pro in the past. I was running 7.1 on my SC95 then 7.2 - I was running 5.2.4 in the end before the 505 And I settled on 7.1.2 at the moment. I haven’t set up the second sub yet but may hold...

    Pioneer Elite VSX-LX505 Owners Thread

    Still having some issues with my tv but have been playing around with various speaker settings over the last few weeks… at this point settled on large for the floor speakers and small for the rest. 80hz crossover and double bass turned on. Keeps the dialog clear and sub sounding a bit sharper...

    Yeah… just strange that it was ok until about a week ago.

    Pioneer Elite VSX-LX505 Owners Thread

    It also never passed Freesync Premium (or Pro from my 6900xt) through. Not a big deal on my PC since it can run a second output for sound but kind of a bummer on the Xbox side. I did open up a support ticket with Pioneer/Onkyo to see if there’s any known issues. I use my Xbox for a lot of the...

    Pioneer Elite VSX-LX505 Owners Thread

    Samsung qn800 in this room… weird since it works fine directly into the tv and this only happens when being passed through the receiver. I don’t have another 4k120 VRR tv or monitor I can test with at the moment to see if it’s the receiver or tv. Leaning towards the tv still since it did...

    Pioneer Elite VSX-LX505 Owners Thread

    Well… all of sudden my screen will freeze when running VRR on Xbox through the receiver. If I turn game mode off on the tv or disable VRR on the Xbox it will work ok. Kind of weird though since it was working fine for a while. I tried swapping cables and it doesn’t do it running direct into the...

    Onkyo, Pioneer Elite, and Integra Deep Dive: A Fresh Look at the Brands’ Latest AV Receivers

    They are not independent but the people running dual (or more) subs have just been running an separate processor to get around it If they wanted the independent control. I think there’s a thread going for that over on AVS but I’m not subbed to it so not sure where it is offhand.

    Pioneer Elite VSX-LX505 Owners Thread

    I haven’t had time to do much in the way of testing this last week. Was about to try another Dirac calibration with my laptop setup but then started having issues with game mode on my tv to the point where a tech is coming out in the morning to check it out. Keeps locking up the tv… so once that...

    Denon and Marantz Announce 3-in/1-out 8K Switchers for Select AVRs and Processors

    Yeah… would be interesting to know if it would work with a Neo Qled or similar TVs that only have the one 2.1 port.
