Q: QuestionCompatabiltyI have 5 M&K S125 speakers, 1 center 4 surround. They are 4 ohm, my sub is a Polk PSW 108.Can I use this receiver ? If not which Atmos enabled receiver can I use ? I will buy 2 more speakers for the height channel

Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer I'm running 6ohm on the VXS-90, have not tried 4 ohm but I have heard that the Pioneer Elite class D receivers handle 4 ohms better (SC-91 for instance). Might be worth the extra for reliable 4 ohm performance and I've seen it on sale from time to time.

  I would recommend:

  • 

    Pioneer - 560W 7.2-Ch. 4K Ultra HD and 3D Pass-Through A/V Home Theater Receiver - Black

    User rating, 4.56 out of 5 stars with 124 reviews.

Q: Questionconnecting reviever to a/v system?do YOU NEED TO PLUG THE RECEIVER INTO A MONITOR OR TV TO SEE HOW TO PROPERLY CONNECT THE PIONEER VSX1155 ELITE TO YOUR a/v SYSTEM

Asked 9 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer If you're referring to the VSX-90 receiver, then no. If you connect the receiver to an Ethernet cable that's connected to your home network router, then you can "log in" to the receiver using your PC. Really it's not "logging in" but rather typing in a web address (from memory it was http://192.168.8.29 or something like that) into a web browser, then it gave me icons to click/follow one at a time. I had the speakers and components already hooked up, so all I had to do on my PC was check the boxes for what components I had hooked up, type in names for each HDMI input (like PS3, Computer, etc), hook up the set-up mic when it prompted me to, then let it go through its set up. It was pretty slick and worked well for me.

Q: QuestionCONNECTING MY NEW PIONEER VSX-90 TO !) YEASR OLD PROJECTION TVI just bought the Pioneer VSX-90 receiver today from Best Buy. My 10 year old 70 inch projection Tv is still working great and not ready for replacement. I will be connecting the new receiver to my old tv using it to listen to music thru speakers installed in my ceiling for radio, blue tooth playing from apple play list use. Just wondering what accessories( cables) I will need to get it hooked up properly. Any help will be greatly appreciated. And will the new recover be compatible to my old tv ? Thanks

Asked 9 years ago by Janine.

• A:Answer I have a Sony 60 projection that also works great. Bought it in 2003. If it is like mine, you only have component video connections to view HD (720 on mine). If that is the case, you do not have HDMI. Therefore, you will need a nice quality set of component video cables to connect your tv to your receiver.

Asked 9 years ago by Deb.

• A:Answer Bare wire, banana plugs and spades hook the speakers up easily. You will need to use an rca plug if you have a subwoofer to connect though. You need to use a powered subwoofer with this receiver.

Q: Questionwill a subharmonic DBX 120x synthesizer work with this receiver,it needs a pre input jack to work I believe !

Asked 9 years ago by Anonymous.

Q: QuestionDTS and Dolby AtmosI know that a couple of different brands have had a great deal of difficulty with their DTS:X system and have been delaying the release of that upgrade. Does this receiver already have DTS installed? Secondly, does this system have Atmos up mixer which converts non Dolby Atmos programs to still be used by your Atmos speakers? Thank you.

Q: QuestionPioneer Elite-1155w 7.2 -ch A/V receiver is very good for my 5.2 ch home theater system?I want to buy a mid or high end receiver for my 5.2 home theater system, I don't know whether this is a good match or not.

Asked 9 years ago by Robert.

• A:Answer Is a good match except the Bluetooth is a little laggy. The sounds great. The receiver selects the proper surround sound for the proper video. I will tell you hands down the THX is incredible. Make sure you buy two extra speakers so you can get the full experience. The Bluetooth was the only downfall everything else is spectacular when you get it hooked up properly.

Q: QuestionI have 5 small speakers and 2 sub's, Will this drive both subs?

Asked 9 years ago by mike.

• A:Answer We purchased the Pioneer VSX-90 specifically because I wanted it to drive 2 subs. We have been very pleased with its function, so far. I think it is a terrific value in its price/feature range. It is not a $2,000 device, but it is value rich for the modest sum of $400-600 range. We are driving two Polk Audio PSW10 10-Inch Powered Subwoofers.
