Good for what it is
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Low powered and kind of disappointed there was no pre-out. It sounds good "had" to buy some Klipsch speakers for the efficiency. Now it rocks, I would recommend it with the above caveats.

Not user friendly
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Returned for a denon. Don't buy if you want multiple zone for playing two sources at once. It can't. And every every time I turned on the tv it would take over the system. So if I was listening in zone B and someone turned on the tv it would switch to tv sound. The direction sucked and had to search through many forums with people having the same troubles. Only positive was it sounded great. And the app really sucks.

Great amp all the way around
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The amp has plenty of great features and plenty of power. I especially enjoy the Bluetooth capability and room compensating setup features. I am having difficulty with the "B" speaker switching but, will keep trying to make it work. Overall, this was a good investment.

Great reciever for the money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This reciever was recomended by the Magnolia salesman and it was a great choice, It brought my Cambridge Soudworks towers, center channell and rear surround sound speakers to life compared to my older Sony reciever. Also hooked up a Klhspsh 12" sub woofer to top off the sound

Great Receiver for the cost
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got an excellent Pioneer receiver out of the box with a great discount. I am very happy with it and it has two separate speaker settings, a and b so I can switch between my indoor and outdoor speakers, or both.

Great sound, adequate power, easy set up.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Pioneer Elite VSX-45K is consistent with the Pioneer receiver products. The set up is easy, the power is adequate to drive bookshelf speakers and the sound is clean. I have been using the receiver to play high resolution audio files with the USB input.

Great sound. Difficult to program
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This receiver has great sounds but the user interface for programming is not straight forward and does not allow for ease of user adjustments. The programming app leaves much to be desired.

much improved sound and video availability
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We got a new tuner (Pioneer) to improve the sound quality of TV programs. We got that and much more, including streaming video for movies and programs from Netflix. It has enriched our viewing immensely.

Great Receiver, but need high quality HDMI cords
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great receiver and I was able to accomplish my objective of a single device to control all other devices (DVD player, Blue ray player, apple TV, cable, etc.). However, the instructions could of been a little better. Considering the cost, two thunbs up.

can use iphone to control volume
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.setup of elite amp is easy but took several tries to get iphone to connect to wifi on elite, and get app on iphone to work with IControl for volume and other functions. Pioneer Elite replaced a 5 year old amp with snow in HDMI output port to HiDef TV.

Good, but consider the VSX-830-K
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good receiver, but almost the same as the VSX-830-K for less $$. The only difference I can see with the other receiver is no "Elite" tag, and 1 year warranty versus 2.

Best Open box purchase
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I actually found this item open box- as it was a display item. The price was fantastic and nothing was wrong with it. It was exactly what we needed to start our home theater. It has all the functions and outputs we needed.

Give it a chance
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's really good. You just have to get the hang of it! I use my Chromecast in HDMI4. Pandora is a little hard to set up but works. Bluetooth finds my Phone. And just a really nice nifty Stereo! Best i could ask for!

Great Receiver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This receiver is a decent buy, at the price. Everything about it is solid. Except for one thing. The system does not auto switch to the type of audio signal that is being received. When I am playing a movie that is Dolby Digital 5.1 and the sound was set to Dolby pro Logic, it will not automatically switch over to the proper setting. A couple button presses and all is good, but my other Pioneer elite automatically changes depending on received audio source.
