There's a seller on Videogon advertising a new Pio SC-07 for $899.99. Does anyone know who I'm talking about and is he a trusted source? The price is awesome if it's new and the real deal.

    No prices on the website. Can someone link to that store's A-gon profile? Looks like that 899 receiver is long gone.

    If your running an external amp you will not hear the hiss, I'm using the receivers internal power. It's not a big problem but I'm just use to my rig being dead quiet. Every system is going to create some kind of hiss. Some are just louder than others.

    Never once had this problem. Check your sources and ground of your cable/Dss. I bet your problem lies there.

    Ok I did a test... I turned the sat off and turned the volume to +12 and no hiss. not a SSSS to be heard. Then I turned the sat on and muted the audio on the sat and I got a hiss sound at 5 Inches from my speakers.

    Sitting 2-3 feet from my speakers at odb I could not hear the hissing
    ok at +12 I can hear the hissing but i will NEVER play them this loud my ears couldn't take it.

    Leroyjr1 I think something is wrong or set up wrong if you are hearing it at -20db.:(

    try my technique to see if the hiss is from a particular source.
    P.s. I did it with the PS3 and i had the same results.

    Same results here just noting it's louder than my Onkyo and Rotel combo was.The volume has to be up pretty loud and I never run it that loud. Actually the hiss starts at about -10db and thats a couple feet away

    Do they have the SC-07's at that price all the time, or is it a limited time deal? That's a killer price on that AVR.

    I'm planning on upgrading to an SC-07 eventually, but that won't be until sometime next year. It'd be great if they still had them at that price when I'm ready to pick one up.

    ok, yea it starts at -10 also but i don't hear it when i am back 3 feet only when i go up to it at about 5 inches.

    Ifyou want dead quite the Denon's are shocking not a peep. note: i did this test 2 years ago and i remember a reviewer stating this some time ago. I am not sure about now.

    My understanding is that it does deinterlacing and scaling of incomming analog signals (720 P and 1080i) up to 1080p but for incomming HDMI it just does passthough. I guess they figure you will already have 1080i or 1080 p from hdmi souces anyway.

    not sure I get exactly what the advantage of pass through is but usually a reciever will have a better scaler than the source

    01, 9130 and 1018 are pretty much the same receiver (some will argue that adding 12V trigger, THX sticker and Elite sticker is worth extra couple hundred bucks).
