Cool - There are probably LD users out there who would pay a lot for that. I'm assuming it has 5.1 outputs? |

Yes, it has 5.1 pre-outs. However, it's too hold for 5.1 analog input. If my Onkyo had 5.1 analog input; my problems would be solved and I could use those with it's video scaling and keep sync. I realize if I marketed it toward the right niche; I could get a rather decent return on it. It's really getting to be a tough issue. On one hand; I now have the ability to play back AC3 discs in some form; and getting a matching elite player would net me DTS ability (which that Pioneer doesn't have anyway). On the other...I'm trying to keep a repair business (and myself) afloat...and the extra income would be nice. I'm having the same major issue with this karman/kardon P645 integrated and TU910 tuner brought down. It's really great h/k gear...on the other hand...i need money! |

I've never had the AC-3 amps but I've been and always seem to be in that type of situation sometimes its better to just get a nice setup that you are happy with and trade/sell off the other stuff and be content about it. I used to have all the 5.1 stuff and was just bogged down by it, and I had the idea to sell it off thanks to my father, who actually bought all the stuff for 5.1 that I took when I moved and I can't be happier with my 2 channel setup, yet it would be nice to have that surround but most of the films I watch are either in mono as they are older or foreign or they were just Dolby surround and when they remaster to AC-3 and the likes they change or add stuff that I just don't like. so even DVDs are run through 2.0 ________________________________ the rein-o official signature: |

I started out with a big CRT TV with a good picture but crappy sound, so (having got a laserdisc player very cheaply) I decided to get an amp when I could afford it. It turned out that by then I could get a 5-speaker setup fairly cheaply, especially if I bought the cables separately from a different vendor, and since DVD was just coming in I decided I might as well go for it. I've since added a subwoofer and AC-3 decoder. While the difference isn't huge on a lot of things, I like action movies and SF, and occasionally it really does improve the experience. |

Believe it or not Pioneer included an AC-3 rf input on receivers up until 2008. Usually it was relegated to their top of the line. The last receiver I know of having it was the SC-09TX. |

I prefer its more proper name "LX-90 Susano" Actually Theta Digital still makes the Casablanca IIIHD AV Surround Sound Processor which has 2 RF inputs, HDMI 1.4a with 3D support and DTS MA HD/Dolby True HD. |
