Q: QuestionCan this receiver be stored on its side in a confined space?

Asked 1 year ago by Jules.

• A:Answer Hi, as long as you've got space on the top, you can store it easily, you can even remove the round feet on the bottom, but it must have a way of venting out to the top, to prevent it from over heating, and with the right side angle connections, it can have very little room in the back.

Q: QuestionSet this receiver up last week and is working great except can’t connect Bluetooth. Also it connected to my WiFi network in the initial setup but has since lost connection and now the receiver can’t seem to find the network again. Any suggestions?

Asked 2 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer I had a initial set up learning curve for the Bluetooth, but once I figured it out, it was a snap, and now connects every time, go to your phone settings, select bluetooth, then hold the BT button on your remote until it pairs. Be sure to use the 2.4 wifi, as the 5G would not connect, the 2.4 is flawless every time.

Q: QuestionThis is an open box in ex condition. Does it come with the full 3 year warranty?

Asked 2 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer An open box is the same as a new one, the 3 yr manufacturer warranty begins once purchased, and I recommend the geek squad total tech plan gives an exclusive 2 yr replacement or repair if defective. I just had my LX305 replaced after the 2 mos. return period policy, also total tech extends the return period to 2 months if not satisfied with the product. I've upgraded within this 2 mo return period under this policy. I purchased a Sony soundbar open box with substantial savings and it was a great bargain. Geek Squad stands behind the products they sell.

Q: QuestionCan you upgrade to Direc Live Bass Control Multi subwoofer with a download?

Asked 2 years ago by ASERE.

• A:Answer No. Not on the lx-505. The regular Dirac did make corrections in the bass if you allow it to. But only for one sub channel as the lx-505 splits a single sub channel in two.

Q: QuestionCan this power a 5.2.4 set up?

Asked 2 years ago by Maine2240.

• A:Answer I believe it has the 5.2.4 up to 7.2.4ch & 9.2 in the setup speaker menu: DTS:X®/DTS Neural:X Upmixing DTS:X is the next-generation audio codec from DTS that leverages object-based audio to enable new immersive and interactive audio experiences. By adding an external amplifier, the 9.2ch AV receiver can be expanded to decode 11ch for driving a 7.2.4ch surround system. Experience an immersive soundscape with incredibly rich and life-like audio. Other audio codecs such as PCM and DSD can be up mixed using DTS Neural:X for enjoying 3D surround sound. https://assets.pioneerhomeusa.com/spec-sheets/Elite_VSX-LX505_MDC%40DEC2020-1.pdf?v=1684718326

Q: QuestionAfter looking at your various A/V receivers, you don’t take the time to list the power output per channel and the total harmonic distortion in your specifications. Those figures are extremely important in the picking of a proper unit to purchase.
