Pioneer VSX-919AH-K Receiver Thread - Blu-ray Forum

Tell me about it Fors, the plan was get the speakers set and all pre-wired, then buy the sub, then the receiver. I have had to kind of flip flop the two because sale prices dont stay around to long on new egg. The PSW10 that I wanted was 119 last week and is now 129 this week! GRRR. It use to be $99 and keeps creeping back up. Oh well, I just hope this receiver works like how I want it to. I dont think it has HDMI passthrough does it? I want to plug my cable box into it through hdmi but dont want to have to turn the unit on to watch tv. That is one huge problem I had with the 519!

I don't think it does, it appears it processes the video signal only.

By the way, with all of this equipment, you'll need a universal remote next, right?

hey i this a good receiver?I'm considering buying it .where did you get it from?

I started with Onkyo but now wish I started with Pioneer! I have the 1019 .. I think the differences are small .. like an extra HDMI port. I love this receiver! It has a few quirky menu/remote configurations but once you get your head around it - not a big deal! It sounds great, looks great, and has a great feature set for the price.

newegg.com run over there now special new arrival price going on for it!!!

Fors, I will totally need a new remote, Harmmony 1 all over it! So if I want to get just audio from my cable box but I want my video to go to my tv, how do I do that? I would be going from the cablebox to the tv HDMI, but what if the game is on? I would like to get surround on that!
