    Decent value. Only down side is that it doesn’t have RCA outputs if you want to use an external amp

    This receiver offers a 9.2 speaker dedicated channel in an ATMOS system that is dynamic and gives a better surround experience in its IMAX effects providing an awesome experience in the 4k/8k format.

    IYKYK Dirac is incredible and is included on the unit. I’m using it in a 5.1.4 configuration and love it. There’s not much to say, this used to be 200 cheaper MSRP but jumped up in 2022 which is a bunmer

    Too complex to set up if you use an external amp for the front channels. No way to turn off the Alexa option, even if it has not been set up on the receiver. It totally interferes with my YouTube TV voice commands. What the heck is ZoneB. It should say main if you don't plan on using any external zones.

    Haven't needed a receiver for a long time so was a little challenged setting this one up. Once we got it going it works great! Nice simple design.

    Dented and Defective

    Defective unit. I was excited to upgrade, received my unit and it was dented and I received an "NG:L" error upon power up. I checked online and they said it was toast. I returned it immediately. I'm sure I got a bad unit but I wouldn't buy it again, I'll stick with Denon or Yamaha. The return at the Lewisville, TX store was easy. Shout out to Lewisville.

    Unfortunately we had to get a new Pioneer Elite Receiver because the one we purchased just months ago was defective in some way. We returned it and got the same one due to the defect and the new one works great.

    Dissapointing Open-Box Purchase

    My recent purchase of the Pioneer Elite VSX-LX305 9.2 Channel Network AV Receiver, listed as “Open-Box EXCELLENT” condition, turned out to be a letdown. Despite the high expectations set by the condition rating, the package crucially lacked the remote control. This omission rendered me unable to set up or experience any of the receiver’s features, effectively making the unit unusable right out of the box. The absence of the remote was a significant oversight, especially given the “Excellent” condition promise, which one would assume includes all essential accessories for the product to function as intended. Due to this issue, I am compelled to return the receiver. It’s a shame because I was genuinely excited about integrating this high-quality piece of equipment into my home theater system. This experience has highlighted the importance of thorough checks on open-box items to ensure they meet customer expectations fully. Unfortunately, this was not the case for me, leading to a disappointing and inconvenient situation.

    I have not even tried it out yet because the remote was not included so I'm considering a return. The actual picture of what you might be purchasing should be true and honest.
