The sound quality and features are excellent. Very easy to use, yet very adjustable. Too much for the common person to adjust everything, but simple enough with the easy auto settings

When you turn it on (more than not) the screen has a purple tint to it. Usually turning it off and back on fixes this, but its EXTREMELY annoying. I run my sat box through it, and the pioneer to the tv ; Now it has gotten to the point where ive turned...

A lot of features and a lower price. It has not failed on my like other posters have experienced and I've had it for about 7 months now. It does sound OK. There is something to be desired from the sound but I think it could be fixed with manual...

Too many things do not work as advertised ; 1. On screen menu only works with HDMI and can be hard to get it to even output HDMI. Gives some off the wall message "Can't Select ; 2. The app is not robust. You cannot control zone 2 with the remote app...

the auto set up is simple to use and there are a lot of options that this reciever gives you which is good enough for the aspiring techie/new audiophile/ home theatre. I have it set up with front hieght which quite honestly is awesome compared to...

Easy setup

had it for about 5 months, and now the included remote trips out. wont change the volume, wont change the set presets for auto/direct surround options etc. none of the buttons on the actual unit work, except for the volume control knob ; The tech...

The sound quality is very good, loaded with HDMI inputs, network functions work great. Airplay is a great feature, Internet radio is awesome and has an impressive selection of radio stations. The Pioneer control app works great on my ipod

The on screen interface (home screen) for setting up the receiver is really bland and basic. When you consider all the effort put into the controls and function of this receiver, Pioneer went really cheap and dirty on the menus. It works fine, just...

plenty of HDMI inputs ; great sound with cheap speakers (better ones on the way now, using my old Aiwa speakers paired with a 12" Klipsch sub, 2 F-20 floor speakers on the way) ; Airplay is great now that my network issues are resolved ; zone 2 will be...

only 1 optical and digital coax in ; HDMI control doesn't seem to work terribly well, though maybe better if I was connecting everything via HDMI ; GUI isn't very nice to look at, including the internet radio/pandora/airplay screens ; preset EQs don't...
