Does the Pioneer Elite VSX 70 support HDCD?

This is only an amp. If your CD player supports HDCD then this will amplify it.

You need a CD or DVD player that will decode HDCD. If you have one, and connect it to the VSX 70, the VSX 70 will handle it.

It works perfectly with 8652 HDC. Iwould guess that it would work with 8300HD since they are so similarH. Haffner

If credible = lossless HD audio tracks, then YES via the BD55's 7.1 analog outs. NO via the digital coax or optical outs - you'll only get the fallback lossy DD and DTS tracks (higher bitrate than DVD, but still NOT HD) to be decoded by your Yamaha AVR.BTW, wait for the DMP-BD80 coming in March '09, as current pricing for the now discontinued BD55 is completely ridiculous...

I have no experience with Direct TV settop boxes or DVRs, but SD is usually only a stereo signal, while HD will be Doby Digital 5.1 audi signal. The Pioneer VSX21 which I own, will have less volume on the 5.1 signal because the available power from the power supply is divided 5 different ways, compared to just two ways with a stereo signal. The Stereo signal should be much louder. Just turn up the volume when listening in the 5.1 DD mode. You should be OK. I have not yet burnt out the amp in the receiver.

there is a out of sync bug with the TOSLINK on the WD units. It is discussed on the forums, no solution yet.

Nope not the one. I'm waiting for a solid state True Full HD (1920x1080) 30p solution. I couldn't care less about HDDVD BlueRay compatibility. I'll be playing the files from HDD of HTPC. I'm considering Sanyo VPC-HD2 as interim camera.

That is very odd. I have a Pioneer internal Blu-ray burner...these are the only discs I have used with it (the 6x) and they have been great...never had a problem with them.

No internal HD cannot be installed. The quality is contingent on the source of your file and your TV. The picture quality is pretty impressive.

yes I found a chart for this model which says "offers full hd upsampling" I'm sure you realize that upscaled sd sources--i.e. 480i dvds-- can only looks so good when upscaled. in other words it won't look close to true 1080p hd quality. but it will offer noticeable improvement over native 480i. hope this helps.

VHD-ADAC unit can convert DD5.1CH or DTS5.1CH to 2CH L/R analog stereo. But the input is SPDIF, not HDMI. If you want to extract 5.1CH DD or DTS audio from HDMI, then you can use the VHD-H2HSAs with the VHD-ADAC behind it.

Yes, you can decode DSD. I have Pioneer BDP-62FD and bunch of SACD disks, they all play through HDMI to Yamaha no problem. It supports 2ch to 5.1ch DSD's.

No, this one does not. Yamaha will be releasing receivers soon with 2.2. Bear in mind, at a much higher price. What sources do you own that require HDCP 2.2? Most consumers will have nothing that supports 2.2 at this time.

DVD doesn't support HD Divx.it just upscale to 1080p. you will get more help here http://forum.videohelp.com/topic349792.html

I own the Samsung BD- C5500 and it does support Divx files,Xvid, H.264 BP/MP/HP. Excellent player for the money along with easy set-up.

It uses a single "standard HD audio block" https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive?downloadById=e491314f-3dbc-4cb9-a906-7ed90d18dc55&attachment=0 that is either on your main board, (some mainboards may have two HD Pin blocks. If your's does then you will have no problem with the installation. If your mainboard has only a single block, then you will have to buy a 2.50 - 6.00 inline HD "Y" adapter; or similar. As far as your card goes, they used to make 4 pin aux - HD adapters, but I am not sure if they still do or not. By the looks of your card, you would not be able to directly connect the dashboard to it, (other then the above stated) It is a good dashboard, that I have not had any problems with at all, but the lack of the extra adapters, was it's only drawback.
