Pros... Awesome sound for a medium size room. Price. HDMI, 3D, optical and 4K support. Analog input for turntables. On screen display for part of the setup. Cons... Lag in response when powered up. Remote not back lit. Configuration not too user friendly. No manual in packaging. Had to download it. Overall the cons were not a deterrent for me as my previous receiver was a Pioneer. The performance of the unit is powerful and well worth the time to set it up.

Purchased this unit after owning a Denon for the last 10 years. Love the features ,sound and the price. Excellent HDMI hookups for all your ancillary items. Remote is excellent and easily reads other equipment codes. Only short coming was AM tuner reception.

After reading a few reviews that seem to sway people away from purchasing I almost didn't buy. However I am pleased I pulled the trigger and purchased it anyway. To begin consumers must first figure the size of the room this receiver will be in. If you are trying to fill in a large viewing room then buy a more powerful unit. This Pioneer sounds perfect in small to medium size rooms. Movies sound fantastic using any of the decoders (I have my unit set to auto). Playing cd's also sound terrific and for those of you who like streaming music through their phones this unit is bluetooth capable! My opinion on this unit without getting all technical is if you have decent sounding speakers this is a great buy and for $200 I mean seriously what more could you ask for. Read the specs it literally has everything the average person needs for a home theatre set up at an Awsome price.
