    Help! Do I Have a blown channel on my Pioneer lx83?

    Thanks for the help people - I filed a paypal claim to try to get the seller to agree to pay some of the repair costs seeing as I had hardly used the amp and it wasn't working. He said he wouldn't offer anything so Paypal decided to give me a full refund If I sent it back to the seller...

    Help! Do I Have a blown channel on my Pioneer lx83?

    Thanks so much for the different suggestion. It doesn't work again if it's been in standby though. Only if it's been completely unplugged. Surely standby doesn't keep the amp that warm and it should cool down and work again... ive ve not heard the fan working since I got it but I've not run it...

    Help! Do I Have a blown channel on my Pioneer lx83?

    Yeh, I don't think they are sent all the surround info like that as the amp doesn't just make the back 4 speakers the same in a 7.1 setup. Defo need to get the amp looked at. Guess I will wait until new year!

    It seemed ok, but I've hardly used it since I've bought it... I unplugged it for 30 mins and then it worked again for the setup at the proper volume... Then came to watch something and it wasn't working again...

    Receiver Help Please :)

    Yes I'm really happy with the receiver. It doesn't have all the mod cons (mainly 4k and the network function isn't functioning which is a common fault on these I believe) but I now know what a good surround receiver sounds like and I will definitely be purchasing from the top of the line ranges...

    Receiver Help Please :)

    Got it all hooked up and it sounds absolutely great! Love the options for using surround sound with music! There are so many. I found one that keeps all the vocals up front and then surrounds you with different parts of the music too. Don't know how it separates it all from a stereo source but...

    Receiver Help Please :)

    Thanks very much for all the input Folks :) I actually found a great deal on a Pioneer LX83 so I thought I'd try it and if It wasn't right I could sell it on again. It has all the features I could need for now just not 4K (which doesn't bother me yet anyway) but I have apple tv for my airplay...

    Changing my left and right speakers?

    Thanks for your message. the monitor audio are quite small and for music with just 2 speakers they are not amazing so I imagine the dali zenzor will be better as they can be used in a stereo system but I can't imagine using the radius 90 for stereo only in a music system?
