Great Product!

"You get a lot for your dollar with this receiver. I've always been a fan of Pioneer. Great sound, multi-zone control, ipod/iphone integration. Overall, it meets my needs and then some. A few nits: - This receiver has so many inputs, but I'm only using 3 or 4 of them.

Cheaply built

"Poor bass with a subwoofer,FM receiver cuts out brouhgt it back 4 times before finding out that it has a very cheap digital tuner.This is a piece of gabage.Traded it for a Yamaha - 525W 5.1-Ch. A/V Home Theater Receiver it was only $30 more but compared to the pioneer it should have been $500 more.The Yamaha is great!Get that instead of this!..." Read Full Review »

"I have CDs that present orchestras first recorded on 78, but no matter what I play the sound from this Pioneer product is outstanding. I have a DVD and VCR connected and both the sound and video are exceptional. This is great for the perfectionist who wants great sound and video. "

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
