I have a question about servicing out of warranty units? In my case, with my Elite SC-99 coming directly from Pioneer, where could I send it for repairs if and when it needs it? I live in NY, there are a handful of electronics repair shops out here, but I'm wondering if you all know of one that...

Thanks again for the detailed response. Much appreciated! I know just how much the bean-counters can affect the final results of any project. Given your knowledge and experience of these brands and the changes they've gone through including the "considerations" that had to be made, which unit...

Thank you for sharing this info. I am partial to the SC-99 because of the Class D amplification and the fact (from what I understand) that it was last of the "true" Pioneer units before the mergers and changes in ownership of the AV division. The unit came with the AIR Studio certification and...

Hi Todd, you mentioned that Pioneer tabled a different unit they planned on releasing. Can you elaborate on that? Also, in your opinion, is this the unit that would be worth replacing my Elite SC-99 with? "The LX805 wasn’t originally intended to slot as Elite’s top model. That role belonged to...

I'm still using my Epson 5040UB. I use the SONY UBP-X800 for discs, and I've played around with the different setting in the Nvidia Shield 2017 that I have in efforts to get some sort of HDR from the projector. For a while I set the video output on the Shield to to 4k 24FPS which the Epson can...

Thanks for sharing this. I just tried this new process of uploading a picture of the bar code on the back of the disc case, but I'm getting an error messages saying that their serve is having a problem. I'll try again at a later time. BTW, I say new process because the old process with VUDU...

Does anyone know of a service similar to what VUDU used to offer, where you could pay a few dollars to have your DVD copies uploaded and upgraded to Blu-ray or UHD quality in a digital format? I was able to do this for a few movies for which I did not have the "digital copy" code. But I still...

For me it was years ago when I started by getting an AVR that could do HDMI. I was then able to ditch the HDMI switch I was using to send the video to my EPSON EMP-TW700. I was projecting onto a 92-inch homemade screen. This made a nice difference from a convenience standpoint. After that, the...

The whole business of AV entertainment seems to be a thing of the past for many out there. Soundbars and streaming are as close to AV as many new buyers get. The new generation of kids are fine with the audio and video they get from their phone! Best buy is dismantling the Magnolia section in...

Hello folks, I hope everyone is doing well. I'm writing this from my theater room which doubles as a listening room. It's become my favorite work from home location. I'm curious what piece of tech or advancement in tech made you upgrade your system, and how big of an actual difference did the...

Sadly, Best Buy got rid of their disc section, and the other outlets such as Target and Walmart have but a smattering of movies. This forces me to either have to order them online which I rarely do or purchase the digital copy on Fandango At Home. Neither option is exciting. I miss the days of...

Not big enough!:laugh: roughly 260 Blu-ray plus 95 4K UHD discs. I also gave my nephew over 150 DVDs that I'll probably reclaim at some point since he is not doing anything with them. I was able to use UltraViolet when it was around to upload digital copies to VUDU and merged a few libraries, so...

Ok. Thanks for the reply and the review.

You mentioned using it as a surround system for outdoor movies. Does this system allow you to configure it as a full surround system with discrete Left, Right channels (maybe add another speaker as a center channel) and then 2 side surrounds plus a subwoofer?

sucks that it didn't make the cut. It would be great if it was good enough to use between the AVR and the Projector.
