Impedance Problem? Faulty Unit? Replaced Pioneer CD player for this unit for USB/Aux/SD interface. Same setup, different sound. Old 8/10. New 3/10.

The Pioneer probably has a better pre-amp/signal processing, and also it also probably pushing higher voltage out of the RCAs. The Bravo is a good basic unit, and I am also looking for a better data-only deck.

ok. Got the replacement.1) the static sound still exists from 1-8 but it's half as bad as the previous unit2) now sometimes i get a buzzing sound when the volume is at 0This one was also manufactured in October 2010.I'll see if this bothers me enough, else i'll send it back.

No idea, but after my third unit died (after just a couple months) I looked for another USB audio interface solution. This unit was discontinued a while back, every unit I had failed in the same way. I really loved this unit when it was working, but I lost confidence that its a good thing to own.

Hey I don't know if this helps so here I go. I have a pioneer dvd/navigation head unit in a 2005 gmc sierra. I did not like the way that the usb/3.5 cable just hung loose in my truck. I removed one of the power points up front and this worked fine to clean it up. My radio supports all Apple products and have worked fine through the usb charging, video, and music play back. I have hooked my zune up and works fine also using the usb for charging and the 3.5 for music play back. Ok and I checked the plug and took it apart on the male side and there is four conductors in it. I hope this helps, been in my truck about 4 months and no issues and I am picky on my stuff.

My Denon plays most of my cd's but there are many it just can't read. I was told it may need cleaning but I tried that with no success. Sorry I can't help.

It's always possible that you got a defective cable. Try contacting Pioneer.

Yes this is a problem I am having with my new system as well, same make and model. I ordered a replacement the other day. Seems to be a problem with the receiver, I wrote about it in my review.

Are you sure that you've installed the unit correctly? Inputs connected to inputs, and outputs connected to outputs? Additionally, have you verified that the impedance switches are set correctly? Lastly, have you removed the volume control, bridges the speaker wires, to eliminate a fault in the cables or speakers? If you've tried all this, and still experience trouble, I'd say it's possible that you may have a faulty unit..

On the back of the receiver there is only two audio inputs, four speaker outputs and antenna input. If you run your cd player to your eq then connect the eq to audio input it should be fine.

Hi, Michael... I haven't played any records since I had this reciever until I read your e-mail. It took me a couple of minutes to coax my ancient turntable into playing, but it did play a record just fine... I turned the volume up to about 22 and it sounded great, and I don't have a pre-amp in my system. I hope it helps and if you buy this receiver, I think you'll be happy...we've enjoyed ours and have had no problems with it. We're not real serious audiophiles, but it does sound very nice on our CDs and radio use. Good luck...best regards... Doug in Niceville, FL

right. i asked since i had read at least one comment which stated that the unit had troubles with standard cd's but not sacd or dvd-a. please let people know what you find once you get it.

Maybe you need some sort of pre amp for the turntable for it to run on your receiver, Shure used to make one but I haven't seen one in quite a while. Do you have access to any other receiver to see if it works ok...it may just be faulty. Without getting my hands on it is hard to say just what the issue is.

Yes and no. The one i got had a thin sound on the headphones input but the ipod interface souned awsome. I ended up with the USA spec pa15 and had same problem. So thinking something is wrong with my wiring or my stereo. Bugs me but I've been using ipod for all music lately. I still have the pie unit. Would sell for 50 plus 10th shipping greyhnd001 gmail

My past experiences with these types of devices says you have a defective unit. If you have tried multiple cds with same result, get another one.

Not sure about this one..... try the Pioneer's customer support, they should be able to help you regarding this matter.

Hi, S! I'm sorry you're having problems...some CD players are "stand-alone" and will play CDs all by themselves....others need a receiver or some other device to allow you to hear your CDs. An easy test to see if your player needs a receiver or not is to look it over and see if it has a volume control. If it doesn't have a volume control, you need a receiver. If it does have a volume control, you've got another problem somewhere. It might be that the CD player is defective or it might be that you don't have your headphones and/or speaker connected correctly, or you may not have the power cord plugged in correctly. Hi, S!

I have no problem like that with the one I bought. you should contact the manufacturer or heartland. I had a problem with my cd player (it was cosmetic but i did not like it) and they replaced it no problem and quickly
