    I already had one just like this. when I started having trouble, I knew I wanted the same one. the geek squad discovered that the trouble was not with the receiver and I should return the new one. I decided to keep the old one as a spare since I liked it so much. Thank you and geek squad.

    Had to return because it would not power our surround sound speakers in study and kitchen. Not enough power for all the rooms where we have surround sound. Probably fine for surround in one room.

    Should have bought the Yamaha....

    Went in after a Yamaha unit, salesman conned me into buying this one because it was on sale and better, so he says. It took a sh@# about 6 months later and Best Buy wouldn't support it, after 3 calls to customer service and a visit to the store. I called Pioneer directly and am having to ship the unit from KY to NY on my dime and who knows when I will get to back or how long it will work once it comes back. So far I'm going to call it a waste of $500 and it is still costing me money.....

    This was a decent receiver for the money. I did end up taking it back because I wanted something a little more "higher end."

    This device is one significant component of my TV upgrade. It works exactly as expected; and, it fits in my cabinet with room to spare. I certainly recommend it to others when upgrading your TV and associated components.

    Purchased this reciever because I needed one with 4K capability. Looked at Yamaha, Onkyo and Dennon. Thought this one met my needs and the price was competitive. Very happy with my choice.
