Is There A Ios Control App For Pioneer Vsx Lx102

For that price it is a very good AVR. I was expecting the Pioneer iControl AV5 app to work with the LX102 but it does not. You can look on the Pioneer website for compatibility. It does however work with the Pioneer remote app which is ok. The best feature is the equalizer which makes a huge difference.

I have this same issue, did you ever find the solution or cause for this?

I am having the exact same issue. Have you ever found a solution or just accepted it doesn't work?

• I can cast to the receiver just fine using any app on my phone that supports casting.
• The receiver appears as a cast-able device within the Home app.
• When I go into the Home app settings, into TV and Speakers, hit the plus icon, the Receiver appears. When I select it and hit Add, it goes back to the list of devices but the receiver never appears. It's as if I never selected it.

It just doesn't look like the Google Home and the LX102 can work together despite the Pioneer firmware upgrade page saying it can. (I can't post links yet, just google search 'pioneer vsx-lx102 google home' and it will come up.)


I used to be a die hard Pioneer fan until now I have very mixed feelings about it. Pioneer hasn't been the same since Onkyo acquired them a few years ago, the sound is still great but durability blows nowadays. I have the VSX-532 model which is a basic 5 channel receiver but in just one month, one of the HDMI ports is failing (sound works but no picture) so I had to plug my Fire TV directly to the TV and just use the receiver's ARC feature. Pioneer is slowly suffering from the same infamous issue as Onkyo, weak unreliable HDMI boards.

what are the top brands now?
i keep hearing Yamaha is good now, anyone else?

Yammy’s are supposed to be built solid and have a reputation for reliability and a lot of people swear by them.
I had an RX-A2020 but my front R, center and surround R all went out on me about a month after the 3 year warranty ran out so I just ended up replacing it with the Pioneer VSX-LX302 since I got a decent Black Friday deal on it for $399. So far it’s been running ok but it doesn’t get a lot of use.
What’s your budget? If you can go $600, check out the Denon X3300, lot of bang for the buck and has Audyssey XT32.

Besides Yamaha, I hear plenty of good feedback about Denon and Marantz too. Sony A/V receivers I hear fairly mixed things about them where some really enjoyed it, others found it too complicated & complex. So if I was getting rid of my Pioneer, I'll probably switch over to Denon.

I have a the VSX-LX102 I picked up a few weeks ago and I love it - just what I needed at a good value.
My question or concern is there is a slight audio delay on NetFlix or any other streaming source (YouTube TV) when ever I start a program, or skip around. Is this normal?
From my experience, I've only encountered the audio delay once when I switched from cable to 4K player, haven't seen it again since so far.
Yea, that I could expect because its switching sources. This is actually from the same stream. Skipping back on NetFlix or when a commercial comes on YouTube Tv, around a second of delay before I hear audio.

(I can't post links yet, just google search 'pioneer vsx-lx102 google home' and it will come up.)I've had the LX102 for about a month now. I also have a google mini that I use. I am able to use my cast commands, but I believe it's because I'm casting to my TV and not the receiver. I find that the built in application with the receiver is very slow. For me I'll say OK Google play album reputation by Taylor Swift on TV. In no time it fires right up. I was under the impression I had the latest firmware update, but I'll check it again. Honestly, I have been very happy with the receiver. The only reason I might take it back is that I just upgraded my fronts and I was going to hook up an amplifier to run them and I'm not sure this amp will support that. Other than that I've been super pleased with the unit.







Bummer..alright, thanks for the reply.



Your cable box will have sound settings on it for sound output. Make sure those are correct first, then we can dive into the audio settings on the receiver. I know my receiver make a click sound every so often while watching material. No change in sound output though, so I figure its just an amp or something with electricity going on that can't be helped in this model.
I checked, and the only option i have under Audio is 'Audio/SAP'. In that menu the only choice is 'Digital' and inside Digital, I can choose 'Primary Language' or 'Secondary Language'.
I didn't see any audio settings in the high definition menu.
What am I looking for? Some sort of stereo / surround output option? I don't know where else to look. It's a cisco 4742hdc.
Looks like your cable box only has the couple of options for output. Found this info for your cable box:
(
Important Notes Regarding the HDMI Interface on the Set-Top
The HDMI interface automatically confi gures the audio output for a format supported by the television. Because not all
TVs support the Dolby Digital input, the HDMI interface may automatically select a 2-channel stereo audio confi guration
instead of Dolby Digital, which it carries over to the other digital audio outputs of the set-top. This prevents your home
theater system or Dolby Digital decoder from providing the full Dolby Digital surround-sound eff ect.
You can override this confi guration by completing the following steps.
1. Press SETTINGS twice on the remote control to open the General Settings menu.
2. Press MOVE UP or MOVE DOWN to select the option Audio: Digital Out.
3. Press MOVE RIGHT to select Dolby Digital. This setting will send Dolby Digital audio to the HDMI, DIGITAL AUDIO
OUT, and OPTICAL AUDIO OUT connectors on the set-top.
Notes:
• If the TV is not Dolby Digital capable, it may not produce audio through its speakers when the Audio: Digital Out
setting on the set-top is set to Dolby Digital. You can either switch the Audio: Digital Out setting back to HDMI
when you are not using the home theater or Dolby Digital decoder, or you can connect the baseband audio
outputs (OUT 1 Audio Left and Right) to the TV.
• Digital content is encrypted with High-Bandwidth Content Protection (HDCP) on the DVI/HDMI port. This set-top
is not compatible with devices that do not support HDCP. You must use either the YPbPr or 1394 connection to
connect the set-top to these devices.

As far as the receiver up-mixing commercials to surround sound, I will be honest, I don't watch tv 99% of the time through my cable box. Sad, I know, since I get all the channels. I'm fairly certain the receiver can take the signal of a Stereo input and output it through all of the speakers in a 5.1 setup, but I don't remember what mode the receiver has to be in to do that, and if you do do that, then your surround sound won't be working as surround sound since everything would come out all the speakers. I'll have to watch some actual tv tonight and see how it works out on my setup.
