    Good equalizer compliment to SX-838

    Hello all, Looking for some recommendations on models of Pioneer equalizers to pair with my SX-838. I know there is the SG-9500, but its pricey from what I see and doesnt look to be as wide as the SX-838. Its a really nice eq, but not sure I can afford one! Any others recommended that would...

    The screw doesnt seem to be a tri-wing screw. The middle of this screw / bolt is raised so a tri-wing bit cant get in to remove it. Any idea what bit I may be looking for?

    NAD 5170 Issues

    I cleaned the lens initially and that did nothing. So I wanted to lubricate all the parts and make sure it was working. I dont see any loose plugs or pinched wires, and I have gone through it several times. But maybe I did and just cant see it. No fuses in these I could check?

    NAD 5170 Issues

    I took apart my NAD 5170 CD Player unit to work on an issue with discs not playing. When I put the unit back together and powered it on, I get nothing from the display now. It came on for about 2 seconds, then went off. The device is still getting power to the circuit boards. Are there fuse's...

    Subwoofer Options - SX-838

    ITs an SW-HT32 Kenwood Sub With the Y connected to the switch and the HT receiver unplugged from it, same kind of sound issue on right channel. Like something is in front of the speaker muffling it a bit Same when going from Y directly to the Sub. Maybe its the sub?

    Subwoofer Options - SX-838

    If I remove the connection to the switch (and also the sub), the sound changes on the right channel and sounds just like the left.

    It clears up and sounds identical to left channel if I remove the sub from pre-amp and main in and put the jumper back on

    Subwoofer Options - SX-838

    Is it normal that the right channel speaker would sound like its treble is turned down much lower than the left channel speaker? I know the sub is hooked up on the right side as well, but the right channel speaker sounds like something is sitting in front of it muffling the sound just a bit.

    Subwoofer Options - SX-838

    I tried this option and if I have only the one cable in the Pre-Amp or if I have a Y-Cable going to Pre-Amp and Main In, I'm getting no sound out of the right speaker. Once I removed the cables and put the jumper back in, the right speaker was working again. The Y Cable was connected to the...

    You mentioned not using 1 channel on the Pioneer, but would I have any other options if the sub only has the one input?

    Subwoofer Options - SX-838

    I have a couple of those switches, so could hook that up My sub does have the controls on it, so I can look into marking them for each setup. Also have the Y-Cable adapters so should be doable. I plan to get another sub eventually, but using the sub for both systems will work temporarily...

    Another "I just dont know" question. Please feel free to poke fun where applicable!! I have a Powered Sub that is hooked up to my "newer" 2001-ish 5.1 system. The sub only has a line input on it and connects to the pre-amp out on my receiver. Can this sub be used in anyway on my Pioneer...
