Pioneer - Elite VSX-LX302 has been a great addition to a Media room (14 x 18) just upgraded to Epson 5040UB and Sony UBP X800 DVD for 4k theater experience. It was a walk in on Black Friday and the Magnolia consultant let me know this was an excellent receiver for $699 ($400 Black Friday). Was looking at other AV receivers but am glad I took this Best Buy Representatives advice. This receiver drives my 7.2 theater room like no other I have owned. (Onkyo & Yamaha). The sound processing power and Pass through 4K made it a no brainer. The sound processing of Dolby ATMOS is immersive to the viewing exsperince. My Yamaha Speakers (in wall) came to life and have never sounded so good. The 302 has excellent build quality and power distribution. The movies literally blow us away. The only downside is my wife makes me use Bluetooth Headphones because the base (Dual Polk Subs) and sound literally shake the 2400 square foot house with a movie explosion. But with Blue tooth and Internet connectivity the AV unit sounds excellent with Sony 950 Extra Bass (Excellent Surround) Headphones. After building and Upgrading my home Theater 3 times I finally got it right. The 302 is a winner buy it it won't disappoint.

I got this to go with an LG OLED. Setup was pretty easy. My problem started when my LG OLED did an automatic update of its firmware. When that finished the VSX-LX302 started giving me an error code in a big gray box in the center of the screen every time I turned it on. Essentially telling me my LG had a higher Dolby Vision than the Elite would handle. When I tried to update the VSX-LX302 firmware it failed and I could not get anything out of it. It was locked up. I could turn it on and off and it would come up and tell me to update the firmware. It failed several times (like 20 times). I tried over it over the network and by USB. After about two hours it took the update. The update had been released earlier that same day. It is possible Pioneer had a glitch in the firmware download and fixed while I was trying to update it. Other than that I would recommend for sure.

Easy to set up. I added upward firing Atmos speakers and they noticeably improved the sound particularly when there are overhead effects such as helicopters and rain. Easy to set up Zone 2 and a separate amplifier for outside speakers. Bluetooth works fine and I’ve had no issues streaming music from my IPhone, also easy to use Pandora. My only issue was the distance of the speakers was always incorrect when using the automatic calibration. After adjusting the speaker distance and reducing the bass slightly, I’m fully satisfied with the sound. If you need to replace your receiver and can still get this do it you can’t go wrong.
