    Pioneer Elite is always reliable but this one seems a little pricey. Mainly purchased for the power and zones.

    Money well spent, the pioneer elite is an elegant peace of equipment. The different modes you can choose are awesome. Nothing can beat the Pioneer Elite…. Some much power.

    Great product. I got it for Dolby Atmos and it is awesome. The best way to test it out is the race scene in ready player one. It will blow your mind

    I love this unit I have always owned pioneer elite receivers but with the 9 channel having 7 I one room and 2 in another zone is a game changer. Airplay 2 also makes syncing music simple. The so many feature positives on this unit you can’t list them all

    This receiver really did sound pretty good but it wasn't the easiest to use nor user friendly!!! Also the volume control is in decibels which is very wierd and unwanted......was an absolute deal breaker for me because I need to be able to se the volume in numbers so I returned it literally within hours after best buy set it up!!!

    Pioneer vsx lx 305 display model works good but I though it came with remote. Was told by salesman couldnt find it. I ask at least put in box so he found a generic box. Not very impressive. When I got home opened box receiver didn't even have an electrical cord. Stars taken for service.

    This thing is FANTASTIC!! Really pumps out the sound & the remote is simple & easy to use. Only wish it was illuminated! I just wish BB started the warranty when the install is completed...NOT on the purchase date. Seems a bit silly to me.

    Not very user friendly in terms of instructions on how to set it up for TV or gaming consoles. Needed a new hdmi hi speed cable to get it working. Pioneer tech support was helpful.

    So far this receiver is exactly what I was looking for. Very easy to set up and you can use the pioneer app to control the different zones. You have many different music apps to choose from.

    Good, but not great. I have an older ‘16 model year Elite model this replaced. It’s not as dynamic as I expected.Nice upgrade though..
