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

  • Airplay on Pioneer vsx-2021

    Hello, 
    i have just purchased a pioneer vsx-2021 av reciever, this has airplay but for some reason i am unable to send anything to it from my ipad2 or iphone 4.
    I have an apple tv plugged into the amp, which i can see fine.
    The amp is on the network and i can listen to internet stations. From my pc, if i have itunes open i can see both the apple tv, and the pioneer amp and use airplay.
    I can  use the avControl2 app to control the amp.
    Does anyone know how i can get my ipad/iphone to see the airplay on the amp?
    Thanks

    Hi, Fixed this by enabling multicast filtering on the settings of my linksys wrt610n router. I can now see both the Amp and my appletv from all devices.
    Hope it helps someone :)

  • Pioneer VSX-1019 Receiver Input Switches

    I purchased a Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K receiver a few months ago, and have had the annoying problem of the input automatically swtiching a few seconds after being turned on. When the receiver is first turned on it will switch to the correct input for the desired input device (Blu-Ray, Cable Box, etc), but after about 5 seconds it will switch to a different input. I've checked Pioneer's website and it was no help at all. Has anyone else had this problem and know of a solution? 
    Here is my system:
    Receiver:  Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K
    TV:  Samsung PN58B860YF
    Cable Box:  Scientific Atlanta 8300HD
    Blu-Ray:  Samsung BD-P1600
    VCR/DVD:  Toshiba D-VR5SU

    Hello, were you ever able to resolve this problem?  I have the same Pioneer VSX-1019 receiver and am having the same issue.
    I checked your previous posts and it looks like the other user's issue was related to the MultiZone function.  I turned that off on my receiver but am still having the issue.
    I have my components (digital set top box, PS3 and WII) running into the receiver and 1 HDMI cable running out to my TV (Samsung UN55B8000).  
    If I turn just the receiver on everything is fine - the receiver stays on the input it was on when it was last turned off.  As soon as I turn the TV on however, after a few seconds the receiver automatically switches to the TV/Satellite input.  From there I have to manually switch the receiver to the correct input based on the device I'm using and it stays on that input.
    Something about the TV turning on seems to be kicking the receiver to switch to the TV/Satellite input.
    Any ideas?

  • IPad+AirPlay vs. Pioneer VSX-1021-k

    I have a 1st Gen iPad and a Pioneer Reciever purchased last week. I have the reciever connected via Ethernet and know that it works. I have the iControlAV2 app and can control the functions of my reciever via the wireless network. I bought the receiver understanding that I could play songs from my iPad using AirPlay. The problem is that the AirPlay icon is missing from the 'music' app on my iPad. I have tried the 'resets' and updates that i have found through Google. I also know that my reciever has the current firmware. SO, here is the question, can anyone help me?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hey big,
    I had the same problem with my Pioneer VSX-1021-k and my iPhone 4s. I bought the receiver 2 months ago specifically for the air play function and other specs. I recently got my iPhone 4s, download a couple of itunes on it and play it on my iPhone. I can use the IControlAV2 apps well but when I was playing itunes on the iPhone the AirPlay icon was not showing up. I restart both the phone and the receiver and it didn't make any difference. I check else where on the internet and saw similar complain and they blame the wireless router. Fortunately for me I had two wireless router in my house so I try the other on and it worked very well.
    After that I tried the first router and it didn't work again so I eventually went to the second wireless router and the airplay worked fine. The icon showed and I was able to play all my itunes through the receiver.
    Therefore I recommend changing your router. I'm now using a Cisco DPC2325 which was supplied with my internet connection. Previously I was using a D Link DIR655 and this one didn't work with AirPlay.
    I hope this helps!
    Cheers

  • Small vertical lines when connecting macbook to a Samsung 37" LCD via HDMI

    Hi
    Just connected my macbook to a Samsung 37" LCD thru the HDMI port. Works a treat bar one issue...on non-moving images, colours which aren't whites or blacks, namely brighter colours, there appear small vertical lines. These seem to appear around the areas where there is a substantial difference between 2 colours (example the outline of a face against a lighter or darker background).
    Tried all the obvious things such as calibration, different resolutions etc but cant get rid of them...they dont seem to be there with moving images though and certainly not on mainly white displays such a the Google homepage for example............Any thoughts?
    Much obliged

    i have a samsung 52 inch tv and i have hooked up the vga connector to my pc input on my tv and went to pc input on the screen. all i keep getting when i start is the background but no icons or anything and i cant move the mouse on the tv. if i try to mirror the windows in the display i get a message that says mode not supported on the tv. any ideas. i don't have an external mouse to try

  • MacBook connecting with VGA to Samsung 40" LCD TV -- picture is offset

    I just plugged my MacBook into a Samsung 40" LCD TV with a VGA cable and a mini-DVI/VGA adapter. The picture looks crisp and great on the TV at 1360x768, except for one major problem -- on the TV, the whole screen is shifted to the right by maybe 200 pixels, so that there's a black bar on the left and the rightmost stuff (like the spotlight icon and the time) gets cut off.
    This happens with mirroring on and off, and the laptop screen displays normally.
    Anyone encounter this before and know how to fix it? If not, might switching to a DVI-to-HDMI connection work better?

    Does your TV have an auto adjust menu option, like regular LCD monitors? If not have you tried turning the TV off and then back on while the MacBook is connected? Under your System Prefs, does it detect and list the Samsung LCD? Have you tried clicking the "Detect Displays" button while everything is hooked up?
    PS I run DVI out on my Mac Mini to my Samsung DLP TV. DVI seems to be a sharper picture than the few times I used the VGA input.

  • I have a pioneer vsx-910-k and airport express.I have a wireless network at home. What's the best arquiecture/config to do with this hardware?

    I have a pioneer vsx-910-k and airport express.I have a wireless network at home. What's the best arquiecture/config to do with this hardware?

    I would suggest that you connect the Pioneer to the AirPort Express Base Station using an optical digital audio cable that has a TOSlink connector on one end and a 3.5 mm optical connector (Mini Plug) on the other. You can then connect the Mini Plug end into the AirPort's audio port and the TOSlink end into one of the Pioneer's optical digital audio ports.

  • I have an Iphone 4S on ios7.0.3 and am attempting to use airplay with an airplay enabled AV receiver from Pioneer (VSX-53). I also recently upgraded my wireless router. I no longer get the airplay icon on my iphone? Any suggestions?

    I have an iphone 4S on ios 7.0.3 and am attempting to use airplay with an airplay enabled AV receiver (Pioneer VSX-53). I also recently upgraded my wireless router and the roouter is working fine with the five elements on the network. Prior to the upgrade to 7.0.3 and the router upgrade the airplay feature working fine and i was able to consistently use airplay to stream music th the AV receiver. After the upgrades the airplay icon no longer appears on my iphone or on my macbook running itunes. Any suggestion on how to trouble shoot the missing airplay icon is much appreciated.

    Hi there,
    You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
    You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
    Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
    Nathan

  • Question on Gaming with Mac Mini and hooking one up to a Samsung TV LCD HD

    I am looking at buying the 2.26 Ghz mini with 4 gigs of ram. I understand that minidisplay port does do audio and that a 3rd party is releasing a cable that does just this instead of 2 adapters to make it work without audio. My first question is, I would like to make a mini take the place of a apple tv. Namely because I would rather have full functionality on a tv rather than just the audio and movies and pics. If I get the optical cable, I understand the optical in the audio jack out does support 5.1 surround if you are using the optical and not a regualar 3.5mm jack. Is this correct?
    I also was curious about how well the 9400m graphics card would handle a game such as World of warcraft. My laptop does just fine, but it also has a faster processor, the 9600 gt and a 7200 rpm hard drive. My tv is a Samsung 52" LCD 1080P 120HZ. Thanks in advance!

    Who confirmed that to you? I'm having major difficulty finding out if the Mini DisplayPort does indeed have audio capabilities. So far it's not looking god, which seems like utter madness.

  • Touchpad pointer jumps around when connecting to samsung 40'' LCD

    Hi guys
    For the past two years, I have been connecting my macbookpro 13’’ (mid2009) to my Samsung 40’’ LCD using mini displayport to hdmi cable, suddenly something went wrong and the touchpad pointer started to  jump (twitch) around. I tried different adapter but the problem still occurred. when I remove the cable. the pointer act normal.
    Last night I connected my MBP to an old made in china LCD TV and everything worked fine.
    what do you think is the problem? Is there any troubleshooting steps I should do? Please help

    No trackpad control when HDMI cable connected or trackpad goes crazy when HDMI cable connected?
    The erratic Track Pad/Magic Pad behaviour could be caused by the SMC.
    Try resetting the SMC this way:
    1. Attach the HDMI cable.
    2. Power off the MacBook Pro.
    3. Press the L-Shift/Control/Option and Power button at the same time and hold.
    4. Release them all at the same time (its ok if the MacBook Pro power on now)
    5. Then power on the MacBook Pro.
    Not only did my USB regain functionality, but it appears to have resolved my erratic Track Pad/Magic Pad behaviour. It now operates as it had done when new.

  • Damaged Samsung 32" LCD TV

    To Whom it May Concern,
    I purchased a Samsung 32" LCD TV in store at Best Buy on July 28th. Not wanting to handle the television too much I had an in-store manager carry it to the checkout station and he bumped the center of the box against a blind corner he could not see. Harmless enough I thought and I didn't have him check the TV to see if it had been damaged since the bump seemed rather slight. I transported the unit home myself and awaited the delivery/set-up of my HD Direct TV satellite so that I could enjoy the newest addition to my home theater with all the trimmings. Well to my dismay, after pulling the TV from the box just a few days after I purchased it, that rather benign bump caused by the in-store manager cause a very small ding in the screen but when the television is turned on  it looks like the entire LCD is smashed and I have no idea how I'm going to get BB to believe that I didn't cause that in transit. Can it even be repaired? I'm sooo disappointed and frustrated. HELP!!!

    I would take it back to the store for an exchange, the sooner the better.  Bringing back the same day or next definitely helps as far as believability in concerned.  So don't delay any longer, explain the situation without losing your temper out of your self described frustration.  Customer service workers are typically more willing to help a fellow PERSON out who are kind, courteous, and sincere. In a public place, the term PERSON usually goes away with the presence out a hostile customer, who is then seen more as a threat than a human being.  Worst case scenario would be to contact consumer relations at 1-888-BESTBUY if a legitimate complaint needs to be placed.

  • HT4437 I have a Pioneer VSX-1012-K and i want to change the name of it on my iphone to something elce. Is there any way i can do this.

    I have a Pioneer VSX-1012-K airplay amp and I want to change the name of it when i am using AirPlay. Is there any way i can do this?

    If it is showing off line, either the battery is dead, the SIM has been removed or the iPhone has been restored. Report it to you carrier. Some offer blacklisting. You can also send a remote wipe to the phone via iCloud. There was also the option to send you an email if the phone is located when you were in Find My iPhone. Report it to law enforcement, change the passwords on all accounts that were on the device. Did you have a passcode on it?

  • Samsung 52" LCD TV-no image

    I bought Samsung 52" LCD TV about 2 years ago in Best Buy. The very last time I watched TV was 5 days ago. Then, 2 days later, when I was going to watch TV again, I found the TV wouldn't response from the remote control. I changed the battery on the control. I tried to use the bottoms on the TV set, it didn't work either. Although the blue light on the bottom is on, the LCD screen just went black totally.
    Question1: where I can find out that I purchased the protection plan or not? Question 2: How long the factory warranty cover? Q 3: If I don't have protection plan, where I should go to find repair? Please advise and thank you in advance.

    Good luck with this. I hope you have better service than we have. Our Samsung plasma was less than a year old and we've been without it for 5 week and it will be 8 or more by the time it is resolved. If you don't have an extended warranty (we do), just go to your local tv repairman and have it fixed. It takes forever to get through the red tape of BB and the Geek Squad. See my post on the 16th. Ours is some electronic panel. Friend so mine with an LCD had the same issue but theirs was only the bulb. Good luck!

  • PPC Mini works with Samsung 46" LCD at 1360x768 (sort of)

    Greetings.
    I just purchased a Samsung 46" LCD panel with the intent of using my PPC mini as a home theatre. I connected the mini to the LCD and once I turned off overscan, the display looks very good. The on-screen text is clear and sharp and the colors look great.
    I am having a problem, however, displaying graphics such as DVD movies. It looks that when I play DVDs there is a bit of pixellation and the blacks look washed out.
    The guys at BestBuy told me that this is due to the mini not producing a video frame rate fast enough. Is this true? If so, will the graphics processor in the Intel mini work any better?
    Thanks in advance.

    Have you checked the refresh rate! On my screen anything above 60hz can cause problems with the PPC mini.

  • 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
