Great Receiver

"I upgraded my Yamaha RX-V1500 to this receiver, and it sprung new life into my speakers. I have a 7.1 setup at home and that MDACC was a breeze to calibrate the whole setup. It even protected itself from shorting out because I had some loose wires in the back of my rack that caused it to turn off automatically. HD viewing is a pleasure and programming my remote is a lot simpler now that I have one HDMI input ..." Read Full Review »

Great Sound, But Limitations

"Single HDMI output - can't connect 2 TVs or TV & Projector. Will not support remote TV on HDMI for RGB sources. Receiver will upconvert RGB to HDMI, but requires separate coaxial, optical or RCA phono outputs for sound. Can choose Rear Surround Sound or Remote Speakers but not both. No A/B speaker switch. Automatic audio setup very good. Synthesizes good surround sound from stereo sources...." Read Full Review »

"I tried to buy the 1018 from OneCall, but I got a better deal at Best Buy with a 10% off coupon and RZ dollars. Sorry guys. I tried you first. Anyway, this is an excellent value receiver for the money. You get a strong amp, pre-outs, 3 HDMI inputs and of course on-board decoding of Dolby TrueHD and …"  Read Full Review »

"I use the AVR to switch my 4 inputs (DirecTV, bluray, HDDVD, Wii) to my ceiling mounted projector as well as power my 5.1 speaker setup. I needed an AVR with HDMI & component switching, plus I wanted to upgrade to the HD codecs.



Frankly, I hear very little difference with the HD audio codecs. T …"  Read Full Review »

"I bought this based on two things. I am a long time Pioneer fan and they have me all over again. The other reason was based on the review I found for this unit.
