Full featured AV Receiver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great av receiver to future proof for incoming technology changes. Supports HDR and upscales video to 4k. Also allows for Google chrome casting but only audio (does not support video casting). Overall a great receiver for home entertainment!

amazing quality- perfect for me
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The elite has less distortion at high levels, but for me, it was more important to have no hiss at lower levels. This way I can listen as quiet as possible in the middle of the night. Clarity, coloring, and quality are all great in this stereo surround system

Smooth upgrade to 4k
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Having recently upgraded to a 4k TV I also required a 4k HDCP 2.2 receiver. I was deciding between a Onkyo or this Pioneer. Ultimately, the 3 year warranty helped me in selecting this. Currently using this with a Vizio p75 C1, 7.1 surround speakers, PS4 pro and a Nvidia Shield.

Great Value! Easy Set up!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was about to buy a competitive Yamaha but the Magnolia guy convinced me to go to this unit for a few bucks. I ended up putting the Pioneer Elite in my theater room and the Yamaha went into my kitchen system along with supporting my whole house audio system. The Pioneer works great in the theater room. Very easy setup. The remote is not the best but I moved to a programmable logitec anyway.

Great value
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this as an open box item for 350. For the money this is a great value and does everything that I would expect a receiver to do at this price point. Lots of HDMI inputs, ability to reassign input names, auto configuration, etc.

Quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like this receiver as it offers a lot of great features. You can stream online with pandora and the hook up is straight forward. I'm not technically savvy and was able to make all the connections without any problems.

Amazing amplifier
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Asked a sales rep which unit he'd buy personally. He took me into the magnolia room. Showed me this unit. Let me listen to it. Told me about how many people had come in specifically looking for this 2016 model. Let me look up some reviews online. I have zero complaints. Powerful, incredibly user friendly, intelligent computer software, integrates with my system perfectly. Absolutely a fantastic piece of stereo equipment

Excellent product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works very well as replacement for old Sony receiver that was going bad. Easy set up, lots of options. Only issue I have is the way it displays the sound level as negative db - very odd choice for non-audiophile users.

Great price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works but I can't figure out how to fine tune it. I have to turn it up when people are talking a d down when action is happening. This is probably just my lack of knowledge.

Very good 4K receiver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After purchasing an OLED TV my budget was a bit strapped. The salesman showed us a number of 4K receivers in Magnolia. The sound from all was very good. I purchased this one based upon cost and the ability to hook up all my components, phono, cassette, CD, dvd player. You need to make sure all can be hooked up with an identifier for each one on your remote. The sound is very clear. There is a lot more tweaking that can be done once the basic setup is complete.

strong mid range AV receiver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is second Pioneer Elite Receiver I have purchased in the past 18 months. Good quality for the price. The only feature I wish it had would be a HDMI port on the front of the receiver.
