    wished for better receiver reception

    First of all the receiver is nice. I use it with Polk T-15 speakers and the sound is full. Also I like the display and the remote turns out to be great for my set up. However just one FM station the tuning drops out. The station is local and it's during clear weather. I've read in the past about that effect. The guy at Best Buy couldn't suggest much more. Also the AM only picks up 3 english speaking station and using the AM antenna causes lots of FM stations to drop out. I expected better for a $150 receiver.

    I wanted an easy to operate but powerful receiver to hook up to my 4 Pioneer CS G403 speakers. Did research and was sold on this receiver. Extremely satisfied with the sound quality I get with my set up and thrilled this receiver is Bluetooth wireless compatable. Definitely worth the money!!

    This receiver has great, crystal clear sound. It has all the inputs and outputs that I needed. Doesn't seem to pull in AM or FM stations as well as the Sony that it replaced. But I mainly use it for CD's, DVD sound and playing Pandora via my DVD player, so that wasn't a problem for me. I also like that it is Bluetooth enabled.

    I bought this on December 9, 2019, as an early Christmas present for myself. I have customized it to play the stations that I like. I am somewhat disappointed that my iPod doesn't play music loud enough on the stereo (it has a blutooth connection), but otherwise, I am happy with the purchase.

    Pioneer is the very best!!! Pioneer is the absolute best for quality sound!! If you have albums and dying to play them on quality equipment that you can hear every instrument being played on the album, get Pioneer!! To me, it's way better than Bose! Loving my receiver and it's very classy!! The quality is superb! Thanks Pioneer!! You never disappoint me!!

    Got this for my backyard. Just enough power and options to do a good job. Just ordered a subwoofer for it. Glad it has a connection for one. Most receivers in this price range don’t. Happy so far

    Even though it says it is a 2.0, there is an output for a sub woofer. Have 2 Polk bookshelf speakers and a Polk sub woofer hooked up to this unit and it outs out.

    I used this receiver to drive speakers on my screened in porch. I stream from Apple iTunes using an AirExpress module and it works great. No problems and plenty of power for the speakers. I now have four Pioneer receivers and have never been disappointed. I highly recommend it if you only want stereo.

    It is you standard receiver. I purchased but returned because I bought a better one from Sony that had HDMI ports. If you’re not looking to do anything fancy, then this receiver is for you.

    Using it to power two Klipsch r-51 monitor speakers in my office. Have it hooked up to my computer. For such a small set up, this thing gets LOUD. I also have a klipsch 12 inch powered subwoofer and this thing is great since it has sub-out connections. 10/10 love this receiver.

    I got this one to replace an older Kenwood unit that was much more power and features than I currently needed. It's a pretty solid receiver which works for my TV, Xbox, and Chromecasting needs.
