After lots of procrastination this weekend, I've decided to go ahead and purchase the Chord Company Clearway HDMI 5m cable. It's a lot of money for a HDMI cable, however, as I need a 5m cable (16 foot) and it will be buried in the wall, for upto 15 years (like the previous Displayport cable...

Hopefully you are correct. I just need to order a new HDMI 2.1 cable, as like the rest of my kit, my cables are 15 years old! I need a 5m cable that will be routed through the wall and will replace the display port cable currently used to connect the kuro monitor to the kuro box. Any...

Thanks Mike, I think CEC is the same as ARC/eARC? I was planning to update this forum as last night I changed the TV Kuro output from the MAIN (ARC/eARC) HDMI OUT connection to the SUB HDMI OUT connection and the issues described have now gone away! Looking at my old amp, this doesn't have...

I've been using the VSA-LX805 for a couple of days now, but I've come across a very frustrating issue. What is the TV input on this amp? At certain times, the amp is switching to TV input and I have to manually switch back to the required input using the remote. Whenever it switches to TV...

Thanks for the advice Todd. I had wondered where they should be positioned, but haven't yet done any research. I confess, the front 1/4 is further forward than I was expecting, whereas half way is more what I was expecting. When I get to that upgrade I'll do more research. Just ordered a...

I've never heard of setting up a phantom centre. Is this what happens when a centre speaker isn't connected to the amp? I can't help thinking the system would be better with a dedicated centre speaker. The new speakers will be mounted into the ceiling, so flush fitting in an attempt to keep...

I'm considering only adding two ceiling speakers to my setup. My wife is already giving me grief about doing this as she doesn't want the ceiling to be punctured by speakers, so two is all I can get away with and they will have to blend in as much as possible, which will therefore require...

Hi Mike, Thanks for the compliment, it's not looking too shabby considering it was last decorated 15 years ago when I installed all my existing AV kit. I've always been aware that the front centre and rear surround speakers were a compromise on price and more "style over function" and I'm now...

I've had my current 5.1 system for 15 years and it comprises the following: - Pioneer KRP-500A 50" Kuro Plasma TV (still blows me away even though it is only HD!) - Pioneer SC-LX82 AV Receiver - Pioneer BDP-LX52 Blu-ray - Monitor Audio Silver RX6 floor standing speakers - front left/right -...

@Mr.Satyre and @achugh, thanks for your feedback, it makes me feel a little more comfortable about ordering an 805, despite the precarious situation of Pioneer. Hopefully, I'll get another 15 years of trouble free use! It feels like there's an element of risk in purchasing Pioneer, but I...

I'm in the UK and like others, have great experience of using Pioneer equipment, so now that I'm looking to upgrade, I looked at Pioneer first, only to learn about their current issues, which is somewhat concerning, especially when I'm considering spending £2k to purchase the Pioneer VSA-LX805...
