Pioneer VSX-1020

74% of the reviews on Amazon.com give this product a positive rating.

We (and we're fairly sure Pioneer as well) wish the VSX-1020-K could have come in at the $499 price point. While it is only $50, $549 sounds like a lot more. But you are getting a lot of additional functionality at this price point. You have all the...

On the whole, Pioneer delivers a feature filled and very usable product. As always, there are a few areas that could use improvement, but the ease of use and accessibility of the entire feature set is commendable. After all is said and done, however,...

7.1 channel AV receiver; excellent sound quality; six HDMI inputs; 3D compatible; graphical user interface; analog video upconversion; can connect an iPod/iPhone directly via USB; Ethernet port; second zone functionality.

One-year warranty (most competitors offer two or more); no audio return channel support; doesn't support standby pass-through; no minijack input.

Six HDMI inputs, easy iPod connectivity, and sweet sound quality make the Pioneer VSX-1020-K an excellent midrange AV receiver, although it's missing some minor HDMI features.

Six 3D-capable HDMI 1.4a inputs, iControl AV iPhone app makes "remote" control easier, Integrated internet radio is a nice touch. No Pandora, but still., Unmolested 480i component video pass-thru to HDMI output, Six 3D-capable HDMI 1.4a inputs,...

Limited Crossover Frequency options, Remote's buttons are too small, too many and Volume should be bigger, Chintzy front panel covering iPod interface, Mediocre video processing

More so than any receiver I've tested thus far, Pioneer's VSX-1020-K does so much more than merely provide signal switching and amplification. With a whopping six 3D-capable HDMI inputs, a handy iPhone app for improved "remote" control, integrated...

Good solid build, plenty of power per speaker, for those who want more than two. Plus can be for a TV surround system too.

The Ipod dock looks a bit Heath Robinson, in relation to so many products where you can simply stand it in a slot.
