Pioneer VSX-920-K 7.1 Home Theater Receiver User Reviews
Posted by org on 27/01/2012
The main reason to get this radio was to lessen the number of audio as well as video contacts behind the particular cabinet, as properly as to be able to have effortless, one or perhaps two switch switching associated with both audio and video clip feeds. This does every one of the above. I possess 2 HDMI options in (cable television HD-DVR as well as DVD person) and one composite within (Nintendo wii). I possess one HDMI out to TV and one digital audio out in order to TV. That’s it besides speaker cable. The best part is lacking to swap the sound separate in the video feed. My spouse never really wanted to learn all the required process and now doesn’t always have to.
The video clip up-convert feature doesn’t actually make significantly difference to me… you are certainly not going to obtain a picture that looks like a blu-ray disc, so do not expect these kinds of. But the particular 1080i as well as 720p which are broadcast come through (in order to my eye) nearly as good or slightly better than when sourced straight to the TV in the cable box. Wii, which outputs at 480p, doesn’t look that much better possibly, but I love having sound from the tuner now as opposed to previously while using TV sound due to lack associated with connections on old radio.
I went into an HDMI handshake problem wherein the particular picture would certainly turn pink/purple upon changing any channel. Turns out it was the old cable DVR box. Switched to a newer one I’d in an additional room as well as all good.
All said, it will what it will, quickly change from watching TV/cable in order to DVD or perhaps Wii with just one button media, including sound.
Pros:
easy audio/video moving over between options
4 HDMI within and 1 out
great sound from almost all sources
price-under $300 with regard to features in which some cost $500 with regard to
nice audio setup system to enhance sound through each presenter (corny on-screen interface however it works)
good raise connection design… speaker connections usually are not cramped
smaller depth than earlier receiver allows more wire room at the rear of in cabinet
USB connection in front
included IPOD DEVICE cable links to front of radio
Cons:
switching sources could be a little quicker (not a problem – still less than 3 seconds)
remote doesn’t always have power on-off for those devices with one switch press, but it will control them
remote switches are fairly small… number switches require mindful touch particularly
bluetooth link looks flimsy… I’m not necessarily paying extra for it.
