BUYER BEWARE :(
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.GARBAGE receiver. Had the Geek Squad set it up. Now not putting out sound out of the blue. Best Buy will not help you with warranty. Can't hire Geek Squad to come diagnose it. Got the run around from Best Buy customer service AND Pioneers Customer service. For almost $1000 this thing should have worked for more than a year...

Did Not Take Long
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased the receiver in August 2023. By March 2024 I have already had to send the unit off for repair. The receiver simply shut off and went to an Amp Diagnostic mode. This happened without the receiver being pushed. I only powered speakers with 6 of the 9 channels and powered speakers that use less RMS than what the receiver is rated for by 50%.

Less than I expected
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not as punchy as my old Onkyo, lots of manual setting up, very noisy - terrible hiss coming from center and fronts. Bought a new center, same issue. I’ll experiment some more and let you know

The Product is excellent but buy it somewhere else

WhatNoLights
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This one was a DUD right out of the box. Everything worked except for the front panel display. Not very helpful if you want to know what is going on with the receiver or how things are set while watching television or something. Everything else worked, just no front panel display. It was probably just a bad/dry solder connection, but I didn't pay over $1500 for a bad solder joint or almost everything works. I returned it to my nearest Best Buy store where they refunded my purchase with no problem.

Pioneer’s quality has deteriorated
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is product is the worst system I have owned. I recently purchased this one because my last pioneer system failed. My mistake in thinking this wound not so the same. It shuts off and reboots randomly since day one. I’ve taken it in to Best Buy they sent it out for repairs and they claim nothing is wrong with the system. I want my money back or money towards upgrading to a better system.

Trigger Out Issue
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When i bought this product and connected to BasX A3 Three-Channel Power Amplifier it wouldn’t turn on and there was no sound. It wasnt automatic and the sound stage is small. When i switched to the Onkyo,rz50 it worked just fine. Im going to return it.
