Good choice for 5.1 surround sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My second Onkyo receiver conked out, so it was time to look around for an alternative. This receiver delivers solid performance and myriad technical options to keep even the most dedicated audiophile busy for a long time. The lack of a hard copy owner's manual is indeed an inconvenience, but it doesn't detract from this otherwise attractive item.

Great receiver for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a Elite from 95 and it just started having problems.And the equivalent was about $1100.00 , so this low end one was great for the price $200.00 ! I could not believe it! And with the wifi and the app that sets it up for you and all the new features. I'm very happy with my purchase. Not as powerful as my old one, but plenty loud enough.

Bluetooth connection is terrible
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted this so I could use my phone or ipad as a remote from my patio. The receiver constantly kicks me off and is a pain to keep reconnecting. Pioneer asked me to do an update but that was no help. Disappointed!

Nice for price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty amazing deal at the price. Not often do you find an elite receiver at this price point. The sound is very good and Im used to audiophile equipment. Ive not yet used in a home theatre setting so cant comment on video.

Hidden Technical Issues!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The manufacturer did not disclose and your sales staff was unaware that this digital Pioneer receiver does not interface with older audio equipment (i.e. Pioneer Carousel CD/DVD player or Sony VCR). It took 18 hours install time, including 2 return visits to 2 different Best Buy locations and some internet search time, to get the correct information, cables and strategy to effectively connect my new receiver to my existing home theater system. This was very frustrating and challenging, if not for a committed, resourceful and talented manager in Beaverton this might never have worked out.

Fine receiver, setup not so much
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have no complaints about the receiver; amp & tuner work quite well for my simple home setup. However, connecting this system to my WiFi isn't nearly so easy as my other components.

Good features for price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This receiver has good features for a 5.2 receiver. Only issue I've had is while using the ARC input on a Vizio M series TV it will lose remote app functionality.

Audio Frequency spectrum
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The receiver works well. Setup was easy. I just wish they would have designed control of the audio frequency spectrum like a equalizer for the sound.
