    This receiver sounds good for both movies and music. Very good receiver for 2.1 Setting. There is a volume drop when used for 5.1 setting. 4-stars only because the one I have had the GUI display flickering, probably just a lemon.

    Not a bad unit. Took forever to get setup. Once it's setup it sounds great. However the features like memory presets for sound don't work the way you think and even with 30 years in IT I can't figure it out.

    Had to return to the HDMI video processing issues

    Great audio, but the receiver's hdmi output results in grey blacks and whites, and no settings could fix this. See images attached. One is an Amazon Fire TV 4k wired directly to my Vizio M60-C3, and the other is wired through the VSX-45. You can clearly tell which is which.

    I am skeptical about these do-everything receivers but decided to give this Pioneer Elite a try. I was pleasantly surprised at the excellent sound staging and overall sound quality. I was attracted to it partly because it seemed to be the only 5.2 amp that allowed you to bi-amp by assigning the surround amps also to the front. My speakers have 2 sets of binding posts so I was able to fully utilize this function for 2 channel sound and it really made a difference. I attached a small front speaker for whenever I need great sound for tv viewing and it's of course way better than most sound bars.
