Hello Gregory, Thank you for your feedback regarding our website. We will work on a section for the site to have the customers provide suggestions on improving our products.
I love my Pioneer Elite LX500 BD player-excellent picture AND sound quality. Plus FULLY functijonal zoom control that NONE of today's BD players have. But a sucessor to the LX500 is long overdue. Please be sure to retain the same excellent zoom control features on the remote. But this time please add a volume/mute button to control the player's analog audio stereo output level. And please make it happen this year! Thank you.
Unfortunately, you have contacted the Pioneer Home USA. By looks of your product inquiry, I'm going to have to refer you to Pioneer Electronics for assistance.

I have a PIONEER “Elite” A -20 amplifier for past 15 years and basically use for my 5 disc CD player along with a set of bookshelf, Definitive Studio speakers…I would like to buy a subwoofer for my amplifier. A kid at Best Buy has told me to look at the back of the amplifer to see if it even supports a subwoofer (?!) by LOOKING to see a port that is labeled “sub”. I did so and see NOTHING to that word. DOES this mean my amplifier needs to be upgraded TO utilize a subwoofer? Very confused here.
The A-20 doesn't support a powered subwoofer which would require the subwoofer pre out RCA port on the amp. So if you are wanting to use a sub, you would have to get a passive subwoofer that would have speaker terminals ins/outs for speakers and amp. You would connect the subwoofer to the speaker terminals on the receiver and then the speakers would connect to the subwoofer directly. You would have to look up specs of the receiver to pick the proper passive subwoofer.
I want to send my VSX 80 and my VSX 90 in for service. How do I find service I’ve called I’ve emailed still find no way to get to a service provider. Please help.
Here is the link https://pioneerhomeusa.com/service-centers to our site where are service center locations are. These models are a little older so parts may not be available so I would advise communicating with the service centers first before taking in the unit so that they can provide you information on parts availability and parts/labor pricing.
what can i do about my pioneer vsx a/v/r that completely went dead on me after a power outage. im talking about no life whats so ever, iv tried the factory reset method & still nothing. im literally speechless about this since my avr was the brain of all my components connected to my TV & now idk what to do. please help out at least replace my unit. this shouldn't be an issue or everyone would have the same problem.
In order to see what the issue is after the surge, the AVR would have to be evaluated at a service center. Here is a link https://pioneerhomeusa.com/service-centers that you can locate a service center near you. The service center would be able to provide you with information about the repairs along with pricing.
I have a VSX-D557 that I've had for 20 years and recently purchased my first home 8 months ago, and upon getting everything unpacked and set up I can't s find the remote and having issues with the Dolby pro logic running through the optical output fully functioning properly. I've ran through the owners manual multiple times but the only speakers that work are the center speaker and the subwoofer when on speaker A and nothing happens with speaker B setting activated. Is there anywhere that I can get a replacement remote for the unit?
My apologizes but we no longer have this remote control available. Since this is an older unit the remote control model for VSXD557 is AXD7155, I would suggest checking the online sites to see if original or sub/universal remote that maybe compatible with that receiver.
I bought a new vsx lx505. I get home, plug it in and for some reason none of the physical buttons or the remote control work. It only works via cell phone
My sincere apologizes that you are having an issue with a new unit. It's unfortunate but there is an issue within the unit if you are not able to make a selection on the physical unit or operate the unit via the remote either. I would recommend having the unit returned to the dealer you had purchased it from.
I recently purchased the VSX LX505. After a few days, the calibration microphone stopped working. The Dirac and the MCACC software would no longer function due to the microphone error. I tried another microphone from another receiver and it worked just fine. Upon reaching out for support, I was told that there is no warranty since the microphone worked when it was first used and that I would have to purchase a replacement. This didn't make any sense to me. I always thought the warranty period, 3 years for Elite models, was to protect the consumer for failures like this. Am I missing something? My only recourse was to return the unit, which I did. I didn't want to be in the same boat if something in the unit itself started having issues within the “warranty” period. I liked the receiver and it sounded great. I would like to purchase another one but I'm uncertain at this point.
If you could please provide me the model number of your unit so that I can let you know if we have it available. Or if you have the model number of your unit can check on our link https://pioneerhomeusa.com/parts to our online site for the parts.
I obtained a Elite SC-79 to be able to connect my old consoles and be able to switch them with ease. I wanted to keep using my Sonos Beam as the audio source but even when using the ARC feature on the receiver it still won't output any audio on my Beam. Neither from HDMI or even the Optical out as well. I did connected it to the network for an update but no luck, an error message pops up on it. Ive even tried finding any firmware update from the site but it just has a document of how to update it. Be mindful I don't have the original remove and only using the build in panel ones. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
When you were trying the optical output connection from the receiver to the Sonos optical input, were the devices hooked up into the SC-79 with a the digital connection(optical/coaxial)?
You were also mentioning about the for a firmware update, unfortunately there isn't one available for this unit due to the age of the system.
Unfortunately we don't have any current plans for a tape deck. However, I will provide your product suggestion to our marketing team. Thank you for your interest in Pioneer.
Please advise me as to what the latest firmware is for a VSX 923 receiver, (it presently states the version to be 1.129.020.***.072 or s9294.4003.1077) or as to which available version would be compatible.
My receiver indicates it is in process of obtaining an update a via internet, then states link is not available, while it has access to the internet radio stations. The receiver also allows for USB connection.
The receiver has become sporadic in its operation with intermittent sound. I have rechecked and reconnected all connections as various sources indicate that defective connection could be the problem. So, the only option I have left is the firmware/Software which has not been updated from time of purchase, which is possibly 7+ years.
Unfortunately, we don't have an updated version for the VSX 923 receiver. Since you are having an issue with the unit, you can check with your local service center to see if the parts that are required to repair this unit is available. Before going to the service center, I would contact the for an estimate on the repair.
