WTF?? That is ridiculously high. You want to ask the price from Hiway Laser or A&L. Anyway I just get 820 my my kids to watch movies. No problem driving my Klipsch RF-62 to an insane loudness but I hook it up with satellites just for simplicity

below 1.2k?

i can get below 1.2k

haha yeah i know but i take 820 instead coz i dont like 520 use banana terminal only for front speakers. not that my son will care about what type of terminals the avr has

good stereo int amp. age doesnt matter

i also get weird reading from this macc so i actually adjust the level manually using spl meter and now the sound is more balanced. way better than using macc but of course u need to run macc first to get the correct speaker distance.

what's ur surround speaker? bear in mind 920 is only 65wpc and will get lower output if all channel used. don't crank too loud or ur avr might clip and damage ur speakers.

is the input setup correct? ur 820 must display H instead of A. use button "signal sel" on ur remote to cycle the input.

I connect Dune media player, Panny BDP and Pioneer DVDP to my 820 using all HDMI. Then single HDMI from AVR to LCD. No problem so far. Functioning as it is. Got no HDMI notebook to try.

One thing I like about 820 is no video upscaling stuff so it's really very straight forward. The only thing need to check out is the correct input/output setting.

Meaning you have first select correct input source (BD, DVD, TV/SAT, DVR, etc) then make sure if you use HDMI then must select HDMI as the signal.

Anyway there's one thing you can try. If your player has component output then try to use that instead. Sometimes certain device can't talk well thru HDMI.

If you insist on using HDMI, then you must connect the device directly to display then use digital audio (coaxial/optical) from device to AVR for the sound.

I don't have any problem with any of my HDMI devices but sometimes there's compatibility problem with this HDCP thing.

maybe u should ask xtreamer user if they are having same problem with hdmi. make sure u r using the same firmware with the guy who's giving u answer

u should try ur xtreamer with other avr and c

If your speakers are 6 or 8 ohm u should be ok

if u dont need video upscaling the 820 would be a better choice and much cheaper. i personally dont prefer the 520 bcoz the speaker terminals use banana only for front. the rest are using clip.

if u dont need 3d support then no need. 819 will do just fine

what sub cable u use? get a good one. crappy cable can cause humming also i kena once.

i think all avr comes with 2 pin. maybe sub also but not sure.

try ur sub with ur friend setup n c if it's still humming. if it is then u know la ur sub something wrong dy.

cant we use splitter?

i love how discreet your marketing is :

spend so much on lx-90 but still need to buy additional hardware for those room correction thingy

true. not everybody is a low frequency freak but they should make the high end avr with dual sub output as standard. maybe the next pioneer model?
