Looking To Buy Vsx-40 Or 50
can i use my speakers purchased with my previous Pioneer Solution - VSX-406 with a new purchase of VSX-40 or 50? Do I hook them up the same?
My VSX-406 no longer plays sound from my TV. Only plays sound from other devices. Are there any simple solutions like a fuse involved?
Will VSX-40 or 50 provide greatly improved reception for radio stations. VSX-406 never was very good radio reception especially compared to my car. And I never like it's channel selection.
What other options are available to listen to radio with VSX-40 or 50. I am not sure i understand Sirus radio or Rapsody provided.
