On the one hand, the device offers a lot more functions and on the other hand, are off and on from time to time small Nervigkeiten.
Let's start with the pros:
- Visually I find it better than my old VSX-920
- Funktionaltität (on paper) is great
- More (and now a sufficient number) HDMI inputs
-. HDMI Steuerrung, including ARC is now fully supported (on paper)
- Full-fledged INet Radio Tuner
- Pleasant app control
- Good (not very good, as in 920) automatic calibration
- Copes well with the NAS (Synology).
- Video processor. In contrast to the 920 it can also enhance the video footage a bit, and I must say that it is good.
- Full network support
- Plays all popular audio formats
- Sound Retriever (I know from 920) evaluates compressed MP3s very well.
Cons:
- Still overloaded remote control and now other, more complicated arrangement
- Slightly thinner sound. Although more dynamic but less volume.
- A little too pointedly in the heights, and less powerful in the middle
- Some functions cause problems - for example, HDMI-control. When you turn on the TV, he always jumps on TV.
The dislike grundsätlich be OK, but if you have connected a HD receiver to HDMI2. Then I want that he stays there.
- In addition, the receiver does not always recognize the digital track and the stereo mode (off and on again, everything all right again)
- The automatic calibration at the old 920 brought me closer to the desired success. I had to be the feelings about 80% complete and only having to make a fine-tuning. In the 922 I was closer to 60-65%
- The App itself I find great, but not the support.
Every year there is a new app, which is functional only for the respective year.
That's a very, very poor artificial circumcision, and this policy is unacceptable
All in all, a solid piece of equipment, which is the most rich. some are probably already slain with the features, also of the usability of the remote control.
The functionality is great work to 95%.
The acoustics, however, I found the old 920 but a touch more intense.
The areas to be covered (stand positions the speakers) is about 25 square meters, and an approximately 55 square meters open area.
The runs there vlt something acoustic, may well be, but the 920 has also very good job.
