Last year I finally moved into the 5.1 digital format. I started with a Pioneer VSX-D811S receiver. There are a couple of things I find lacking and am not sure if it is just related to my equipment.
I've noticed when the signal is Dolby Digital or in 5ch stereo there is no way to adjust the tone controls. They simply go flat on the bass and treble, although the loudness function still does work.
Do many other receivers have this issue?
I actually miss being able to use my equalizer (I'm aware of the taboo nature of this subject ) in the tape monitor loop. It seems that function is not possible any more.
I do plan on upgrading in the future but I want to get maximum flexibility, features, and inputs when I commit more money.
Thanks for your comments.
