Re: Can Pioneer MVH-1490UB drive Infinity Primus 3ohm speakers? Today I took my car to the Pioneer Service Station. I also told the service guys that I have to frequently reset my other Pioneer HU (DEH-2290UB) by removing and reinserting the power cable and I'm afraid this new HU might have the same problem. And when they took out this new HU it did come back alive after removing & reinserting the power cable!
They acknowledge a fault with DEH-2290UB which they say is fixed by installing an IC. However, MVH-1490 is a new product and they did not have any ready answers for the problem. What they are gonna do is that send an incident report along with bill & warranty to Pioneer which will then decided whether to replace and/or fix. It is going to take a week now.
MVH-1490 being a newly designed and developed product I was not expecting it to have this same old issue. I'm utterly disappointed. Quote:

Btw the HU is pretty good when its playing. I selected it because I didn't need a CD player and its SQ is very good. Much better than the other Pioneer HU that I have. Of course the speakers are too good as well. If this problem is not fixed, probably then I will write this HU off and get a Kenwood/alpine digital media player. |
