Customer Ratings & Reviews

It has all the whistles and bells, but when switching channels or streaming while the videos are uploaded, the audio takes about 3 seconds delay to come on. Made replacement, still encounters same audio delay issue.

To be honest, my first choice in getting a new AV receiver was the Onkyo TX RZ50. However these are simply in very short supply and for me, completely unavailable. My research indicated that the sister company, Pioneer, has almost the exact same qualifications / specifications available in the Pioneer VSX-LX505. Retail price was slightly higher but still much better than anything else I found. I decided to go ahead with the Pioneer model which was available. I am not at all disappointed and am glad I didn't wait any longer. The performance is excellent and provides exactly what I needed for my 5.1.4 setup. I am still getting used to the difference from the Yamaha unit I replaced. My only criticism is with the Android software for Pioneer which I found somewhat lacking. If you don't need to control it by smartphone I found it to be an excellent product with a good warranty of 3 years.

Good receiver. Great sound and pictures quality. Easy to setup

What a score to find this open box - it’s fantastic and makes my home truly in to a theatre

I have really enjoyed using this receiver. I have it setup as 7.1.2 and have been very pleased with the sound quality especially after running Dirac calibration. I would recommend this product. I have a mixture of Elac bookshelf speakers and center channel along with 2 Klipsch floor speakers and Sonance ceiling speakers. Finally SVS ported sub. Only complaint was setting up Dirac because the mic is very sensitive it would error when it heard any little noise.

Overall a great amp... dirac seemed to work very well.

great receiver,easy to set up,rock solid, pioneer quality

Great receiver from a long lasting company pioneer. But the sound was a bit lacking, no punch. Also they removed once of my favorite feature for listening to movies at night. They replaced with a different option but makes no difference. The constant going back and forth adjusting your setting just to listen to moves depending on the day is a hassel.

Set up was easy using the set up menu and the sound quality is amazing!!

Amazing receiver for the price. Great sound and picture. Using as 7.2.4 with second amp for surround back channels. Paired with the JVC DLA NP5 projector this is an incredible hone theater.

I’m happy with item. Good sound. It was recommended to me and I am happy with the results.

Bought this for a office with several rooms for music and does the job very nice

Finally available. I checked I think everyday for this receiver to become available. At one point I could buy it directly from Pioneer, but who wants to do that? I upgraded for my Pioneer Elite that was only a few years old so that I could run my Xbox Series X through the Elite. Make sure you set that HDMI to 8k in order for the Series X to display 4K @ 120hz. This is a nice unit. It seems to run a bit cooler than my prior SC-LX701.

Should cost under $1000. Sound quality is good. Dirac live is nice User interface is outdated. Not being able to choose the crossover frequency for individual channels sucks!!

The perfect balance of everything you need in a high end receiver. Pioneer is the GOAT for home theater!

adequate but not great power (with 5.2.1 B&W's & 12 awg wires), Dirac a plus but could be better (missing low end), wide range of surround options, remote should be bluetooth by now, unable to get secondary zone speakers to work (confirmed using separate older amp that everything else works)

I love it it has all that I want in an Avr reciever; good neat sound when I listen music & I watch a movie its like I am in a movie theater also also I have enough room for expand it for many years. The over all I am very happy I got this receiver

High quality Would like more than 3 zone capability

Awesome feature packed receiver. It was easy to setup and sounds fantastic. Sound and video quality through this receiver is amazing. I did had an initial problem with video and sound through BD/DVD input but instructions say try a disconnect and power recycle and it worked. Video is outstanding, even non-4k Blurays look really good on my OLED TV.

Awesome AVR and the DIRAC Live auto tuning makes audio sound amazing
