    Upgrade

    Life long yamaha fan. Bought the pioneer to upgrade from Yamaha rx-A680. Could not be happier with the choice. Using it for my 5.2.2 setup. Main benefit of the pioneer is the addition of dirac live for free. YPAO was alright for room correction, but dirac blows it out of the water. The extra 45 watts per channel doesn't hurt either. Only 2 draw backs that i see is the inability to independently EQ both subs, and the analog looking orange display. Other than those 2 small complaints, couldn't be happier.

    Dirac Live saved this Review

    TLDR: Update the firmware Use Dirac Live E-ARC with Atmos is great Use Dirac Live First things first, update the firmware on this unit, it did not work with my TV out of the box. Once that was fixed, my first impression with this unit was the bass out of my subwoofers sounded much wider and deeper than on my 11-year-old Sony STR-DN1010. So, we were off to a good start. Once all the speaker cables arrived, I proceeded to setup the 4 height channels on my ceiling. I fired up a bunch of Atmos titles on various streaming services and was impressed with hearing the sounds come from overhead. I started playing with MCACC at this point to try and fine tune the system. It did a great job of measuring the distance to my speakers from my listening position. I also did run the auto EQ setup. While it did adjust the frequency response of the speaker, it did not adjust the crossover points to the subwoofer like I had hoped. That is when I discovered that, while the Sony would allow me to set a frequency crossover point on a per speaker pair basis, this unit did not have that capability. Checking the EQ settings on the subwoofer, I was not thrilled to see that there was only 31hz and 63hz adjustments available when using an 80hz crossover point. While using a miniDSP UMIK-1 calibrated microphone and REW software, I had a hard time leveling out the frequency response of the subs to the speaker. Between the room gain and frequency tuning of my subwoofers, there was around 9db(aka twice as loud) in the 40-50hz range, and not having a granular enough EQ adjustment capability was not going to fix it. Enter Dirac Live, using their software on the computer allowed me to use the calibrated microphone. You can use it on your phone with the included microphone as well. I had three options for the sound stage, and I chose to setup the wide area option, which requested up to 17 measurement points. The software then measured all 9 speakers and the subwoofers at Once all those data points were collected it calculated the frequency corrections per speaker and crossover points. After that I sent the filter to the receiver, and WOW! What a difference. The sound stage is so much better than it was before, movies sound amazing. The bass sounds much deeper as the subwoofer's response has been flattened. The inclusion of this software on this receiver makes this a solid recommendation if you are looking to have a great home theater experience.
