I have had a pioneer vsx505s reciever packed away and resently reinstalled in in my new home. I realized quickly that I had lost the remote. I've used a universal to at least get access to all features but the test tone level to balance the speakers. Its critical since this is a much smaller room than I had in the past and the balance is WAY off. 2 questions I guess.
1: Any universal out ther that will perforn that function ( I dont want to pay $100 for a new pioneer remote. )
2: Any way to do this without a remote.
Thanks

Assuming you have a DVD player, find a DVD movie with the THX Optimizer on it. Not all movies have this feature, but the ones that do have 7.1 test tones on them. You balance your speakers through the DVD menu via the DVD player.
Some titles that have THX Optimizer:
Finding Nemo
The Lion King
Moulin Rouge
T2
Pirates of the Caribbean
Indiana Jones
Just to name a few.

Thanks John.
I have most of those movies. I'll give it a try.
I'll make an assumption that the Optimizer is in the DVD setup menu.

Yes, if memory serves the Optimizer is under the "Special Features" menu. Also there are some video adjustment tests. |
