Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is the final piece to my puzzle to experience the 4K audio and picture.

REPLACED OUTDATED ELECTRONICS. HAPPY WITH THE PURCHASE AND EASY TO INSTALL.

Outstanding receiver, flexible enough to handle most any home theater setup.

So far it’s been a good receiver for switching a4k tv and Apple TV 4K.

Never gave me a headache. Everything works and it is strong!

Got this unit to upgrade my home system and was not disappointed.

No complaints at all. Used for a home theater. Got it on sale!

We’ll worth the money! Black Friday $399. A step above the rest.

Works as was told it would. What else can I say about an amp

We love this receiver, it has hook up for record playing!

Lots of inputs and digital processing, up scaling works great!!

By far one of the best lines from Pioneer. Great features!

I like all the features and had it installed by Geek Squad

This receiver has tons of options. Highly recommend

Got this on a Black Friday deal. Absolutely love it!

geek squad recommended this and I am glad they did

It was a rainy Saturday night, made darker by realization that, after 2+ hours of connecting video devices, placing speakers and testing component, my nice Onkyo NR626 receiver had given up the ghost. Kaput. Finished. Yea Verily, it had been released from its mortal coil. I wiped a tear from my eye, for my Onkyo receiver had been a good, trusted friend. I was sad, but I was also excited - being a techie, I'm always happy to have an upgrade to hardware, be it computer-, video-, or audio-based. I hopped on over to my trusty iMac and went straight to Amazon, which was my first mistake. All the items I looked at were either under-powered/under-featured, or way out of my price range. I then went to where I should have gone in the first place, good 'ol Best Buy. Lo and behold, Best Buy had a deal going on with a Pioneer Receiver, from its Magnolia line. Looking excitedly at the plethora of features, my smile grew and grew, especially at the point where I checked the price, which was over $300 off the usual price. Sold! I hurredly purchased the receiver, fearing that the sale might be over the next day (it wasn't). It was in stock at my local store, and would be ready for me to pick up tomorrow. Pick up was as easy as ever, and I soon was the proud owner of my new receiver. I kept my old receiver hooked up, which made the transfer of wiring from old receiver to new easy and straightforward. Within 30 minutes the new receiver was back in place and raring to go. Now for the big test! Everyone has their go-to movie. You know the one I mean. Whenever you get any new audio or video equipment upgrade, you HAVE to watch that special movie first. For some it's Top Gun, for the fantastic screaming engines at the beginning of the movie. For others, it's something Geekier like Lord Of The Rings (when that Balrog roars and you have the right equipment, you'll swear you lost 10 pounds just from the shaking). For me, it was my good old stand-by, The Matrix! I was NOT disappointed. I ramble, but I can honestly tell you this device lives up to its hype. It performed amazingly well. The audio was crisp, clear. No distortion, not lamentations about how there just isn't enough power. Granted, a lot of that had to do with my speakers (JBL), but I can say the receiver definitely did NOT hinder the sound; indeed, it helped it immensely! But there's more to a receiver than just the sound (although that's priority). How about set up? Well, the wiring is pretty much the same from one reciever to the next. The real question is, how does it handle the switching of inputs? For the features it has, how easy it is to use them? On both these, the Pioneer gets an A+. There are many features it has that my poor Onkyo just didn't... Bluetooth access, for instance. It was SO easy to set up my phone to play through the receiver. And let's not forget the nice auto-setup for speaker volume! The pioneer comes with a microphone that listens to the audio coming from each speaker and adjusts it accordingly to ensure a perfect sound for the part of the room where you'll be sitting. Fantastic! Listen, the bottom line is, if you want great sound, easy setup and quality hardware, you'll not go wrong with this receiver. Yes, there are better ones out there, but for the money you really can't go wrong with this one.

It really performs well much better than the Yamaha it's replacing!

From what I’ve experienced so far, its been great!

Works good but not super user friendly. Wish it was easier to get it to play on second zone.
