Connecting to Pioneer Elite VSX-23TXH

I am actually reading Pioneer's instructions before installing the receiver replacing a Yamaha! I am a bit uncertain about which ports to use on receiver to utilize the best video (HDMI) and audio (optical) connections. Would appreciate any tips. I bought the Mac MIni in January. Thanks

So your Mac mini is the Mid 2007 model. It has a DVI-D video port and an analog/digital audio combo jack.
So for your digital video you need a DVI-D to HDMI cable that you can assign to any of your HDMI input ports (see page 24 of your user guide to assign the ports) and for digital audio a Toslink optical cable with a mini-plug adapter for the Mac which can be assigned to any of your digital audio input ports ( see page 43 of the user guide to assign the audio input ports).

Pioneer Elite VSX-84txi & iPod: where does D/A conversion occur?

Hello, first time poster!
I have a question that I can't seem to find the answer to in the owner's manual or on the net and perhaps some knowledgeable person could help me. I own a Pioneer Elite VSX-84txi manufactured in Nov 2006 and a new model iPod manufactured in late 2008. The Pioneer has the latest firmware update. I use the Pioneer supplied iPod cable included with the receiver to connect the iPod to the receiver.
With Wadia pushing the i170 transport as the first solution to bypass the iPod's internal DAC, I was wondering if my iPod passes a digital signal to be decoded by the Pioneer Elite VSX-84txi or if the signal is decoded by the iPod's DAC and passed as analog to the Pioneer. Essentially the answer to this question will dictate whether or not I buy the Wadia i170 (I don't care about video, just the audio processing).
Thanks in advance!!!
Dan

Well, I received this reply from Pioneer today:
"Thank you for contacting Pioneer Electronics, Inc.
The signal is decoded by the iPod and passed as analog to the Pioneer receiver.
Thank You,
Ismael
Customer Service Representative"
So I guess I'll be buying the Wadia as the Pioneer iPod connection confers no advantages other than charging the unit while it plays.

Do i need Apple TV to air play on my pioneer elite vsx 43

Do i need Apple TV to air play on my pioneer elite vsx 43

Why not double check to be certain.
Beyond that, contact Pioneer to see if anything special needs to be done to make AirPlay work on the receiver.
Has it ever worked?

I have a ipod touch gen 2 and I am trying to get airplay to work with my pioneer Elite VSX receiver.

I have a gen 2 IPOD touch with the current operating system (4.2.1). As well I have a Pioneer A/V Elite series VSX 52 that is airplay ready. On my ipod touch there is no airplay icon(s) with the music feature. I am trying to make this work but have no results. If there is a download that I need to enable to have this function work.
Let me know

There are no setting on the iPod. Unlike the iPad wich morrors the iPad display, TV out on an iPod only displays TV out on apps that support TV out. The Video app is one such app.
Is that you problem?
Otherwise:
Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

IPod Touch with Pioneer ELite VSX-82TXS Receiver

I had an one of the older iPods with video (80GB) and when I played it through my receiver, I could chnage any of the adio settings on my receiver for optimum sound quality.
Now I have the newer iPodTouch and when I connect it, it only plays in a direct stream mode comming only through the front left, front right, and center channels. My 2 rear channels and my subwoffer are quiet.
Has anyone had this expierence? Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you,
Frank

Nevermind, came back home and it decided to work. Sorry for the post, can't figure out how to delete it.

Connecting 80G video IPOD to Pioneer Elite receiver

You need to read your Pioneer manual carefully. Check for HDMI passthrough settings, assuming your receiver functions as a HDMi switch. This is definitely a configuration issue with your receiver, not the Apple TV. A receiver typically works by having multiple HDMI inputs for various components like cable or satellite boxes, Blu-ray player, AppleTV, etc., and a single output port to the HDTV that will be the display. There is also some little amount of signal loss as it passes through the receiver and the length of the cables may come into play.

how is it connected?
if you use a hdmi to dvi converter then you only get picture and not audio because dvi don't carry audio same with vga

Pioneer Elite System

About a year ago I purchased a complete Pioneer Elite System complete with Blu Ray. It was the technician's first day of work and I don't think he connected and setup the system properly. Everytime we play a dvd movie on the Blue Ray, midway through the movie, the sound cuts off (and I think the input changes). The picture continues but there is no sound until I manually change the input back to HDMI 1. Recently I sent an email to the Pioneer support online and they told me to reset the receiver and gave me the steps. Well, not only did that NOT fix the problem, but it made it worse. Now the sound cuts off 2 or 3 times during the movie and when I turn the system off the receive stays on and the LCD shows "Zone 2 on". I don't know how to get the Zone 2 to turn off and I still have the problem with the sound cutting off during the movie. I have read the manuals, but just do not understand them. Best Buy wants $299.00 for someone to come out and fix it. I paid $14,000.00 for the system, and I really don't want to pay $300 to get it straightened out. Can someone PLEASE help.

Okay here is what I have:
Pioneer Elite Receiver Model # VSX92T XH
Pioneer Elite BluRay Model # BDP-95 FD
Pioneer Elite Plasma Display TV - There are two model numbers on the manual and I can't see the back of the tv to see which one it is but the two model numbers are: PRO-150FD/PRO-110FD
The Plasma TV is set to input TV/SAT and the BluRay is set to HDMI 1
Any help or guidance you can give me would be MOST appreciated. The two issues I have are:
1. Mid-way through a DVD movie the sound cuts off and I have to manually turn the input back to HDMI
2. When I turn off the system the receiver stays on with "Zone 2 on" shown in the LCD panel and it won't turn off.
THANK YOU SOOOOOO VERY MUCH!

3d without glasses versus current pioneer elite pro-151fd

Just a general question to the group:    Currently I own a pioneer elite pro-151fd of which I bought 2 yrs ago from BB and had it professionally calibrated after 200hrs of play--to this day--I haven't seen a flat panel that competes w/ the elite except for the Bang and Olsefuen at 5 times the cost,, the elite black levels and color depths are massive,,,   do you agree ??   what will be the technology that will overtake the quality level of the pioneer elite "s , when ?? and will there a 3d version of that technology that will be without glasses ??    as a side question--is there anything that could be done as a additional piece of hardware that will become available to convert 2d to 3d without glasses ??

Yes I agree. Nothing today is as good as the Pioneer Kuro technology was.
what will be the technology that will overtake the quality level of the pioneer elite "s , when ??
I think it will still be plasma. When Pioneer stopped production they sold their Kuro tecnology and patents to Panasonic. Panasonic has been slowly incorporating aspects of the Kuro into their lineups and improving on that technology. Many think plasmas are dying but they are not. They will still be around for awhile.
and will there a 3d version of that technology that will be without glasses ??    Eventually but not for another few years. Several companie have already made demo models but there are massive issues with them that prevent them from mass production. Issues such as very poor viewing angles and the cost to produce is so high that the cost of the TV would be prohibitive for mass consumer consumption.

Can I connect a Pioneer se-m390 to iPod shuffle 4?

I own iPad 2 and I connected my headphones Pioneer se-m390 to this device and I can listen to music with a very strong audio volume.
My question is: can I connect a Pioneer se-m390 to iPod shuffle 4?
In other words: Audio hardware is similar to iPad 2 and iPod shuffle 4? Or: I'll hear the sound strong with iPod shuffle 4?

A friend of mine gave her niece her iPhone 4 to use as an iPod after she upgraded to a different device...it works fine and it does not have to have the sim card to access iTunes...since iTunes access can only happen over WiFi just as it would on an iPod Touch. I don't know anyone to date that has an iPhone 4 on VZW that isn't actually using it activated but it's safe to assume that the same would be true with it...especially considering that the iPhone 4 on VZW does not have a sim card like the 4s does.

Apple TV issue-I have a Pioneer Elite Pro 1130 with a PRO-Ro6u Media Receiver. I cannot get my new Apple TV unit to work on this TV no matter what I have tried. No Video

My new Apple TV unit (3rd generation) will not work with my Pioneer Elite Pro 1130 tv. The TV has a PRO-R06u Media Receiver. No matter what I try, I cannot get anything to come up on the screen. No Video and No Audio??

Try cycling AppleTV resolutions with the remote using the tip for 'black screen recovery' here:

The set is quite old now, does it support HDCP?

Airplay does not connect with pioneer vsx-1121 anymore

After latest iTunes update airplay function does not connect with my pioneer vsx 1121 receiver anymore. I can see the reciver in the list when I click the airplay button but it does not connect and music keeps playing trough the laptop speakers. I am running win 7 and everything worked fine before the latest iTunes update.
Any ideas what is preventing the proper connection?

I am having the same problem. From my Ipad the pioneer vsx-1021K is visible. It connects, sound begins then stops after 2-3 seconds. This began in the last month. Infuriating. I can stream from my android to the device using double twist. I can stream to other devices like apple tv and Android apps like "hifispeaker" (a Airplay receiver for android).
What changed? It seems like there is something in the most recent Ipad updates? Some interfering application?
the Ipad is using IOS 6.1.3

Pioneer elite plasma connection problem

I've tried both hdmi outputs on my pioneer tv receiver and i still get no picture. what am i doing wrong?? i've tried switching the outputs with no luck. its a plasma tv with a separate receiver. no hdmi inputs/outputs on plasma unit, only receiver.

it's hit or miss getting such setups working
hdmi splitters / swiches are notorious for implmentating an unsatisfactory hdcp

MacMini, Pioneer VSX-23TXH reciever, Samsung 52A LCD

I have the configuration mentioned in the topic. Everything is working fine, video and audio. The only problem I have is that the desktop, when displayed on the Samsung 52" LCD, is a little bit to far to the left. In other words, there is about a 1/2 inch black on the right side of the display and on the left, the desktop is cut of in such a wa that you can only see about half of the apple in the the Menu bar. I have a several resolutions available and have tried them all. The best display I get is when 1344x765 60Hz, Overscan is selected. With in the Samsung Monitor menus I have it set "Just Scan" under the Mode heading. You can move the desktop four ways but it doesn't go all the way to the right...and you still have a "half apple" showing...but now a 1/4" black stripe down the left side of the screen.
If someone is using this configuration adnhas figured out to get a goo display, I would appreciate it. I did have a Yamaha receiver before and it all appeared fine...until it's HDMI ports went bad.
Thanks

How to connect to pioneer vsx42 through air play

Has anyone here used airplay through a pioneer receiver? I just purchased vsx42 Elite and I can't figure out how to get it working. I have both the iPad and the pioneer on the same network. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

you can only connect your iPhone 4S and iPad2 for the purpose of tethering your iPhone's internet connection to the iPad. Any other connection is not supported.
