Ooops- no video conversion on this one

 

Real nuisance when you have to switch the TV input AND the receiver, to watch a DVD; and then switch them both back to watch the VCR.

Nice receiver

But I must have misunderstood the features ; I do not need HDMI, so this seemed like a good choice, with composite, S-video, and component connections ; Unfortunately, unlike many other Pioneer models, there is NO video conversion among these analog...

is there USB input?? What's the use??

 

Price and consideration of some technology.

Pioneer is the leading in the audio industry for a long time or may be since my childhood. They're the best though this product has little flaws here and there and that's acceptable due to its low price

no HDMI

Gospel Electric Works

 

Pioneer still makes some good products. Right now their KURO Plasmas are the best flat screens you can get. Even Toshiba had a Pioneer Video Chip in their HD DVD players. Their TAD speakers are out of this world both in price and quality. Hopefully...

For the money you get a lot with this receiver. It does not have HDMI but I'm not a big fan of HDMI. If you have a TV 42" or smaller than you only need 720p resolution because your eyes cannot see the difference so component cables will work great and...

Pioneer used to be my favorite brand. Back when they had the omega-tuning fork symbol. Omega for the big guy upstairs and tuning fork for high quality sound. They were a Christian company. Now their quality is not what it used to be. I had problems...

I must be blind

 

I've gone blind because I see no HDMI inputs or outputs! S-Video in the pictures, but no HDMI as the previous reviewer stated.

Pioneer has always made great receivers

Pretty Awesome for the Price

 

If you are looking for a GOOD home theater on a limited budget this is the receiver for you. It has got a lot of options and a pretty decent amount of power.

Can't go wrong with HDMI inputs and a choice of Optical or Digital Coaxial for your digital audio. Everything sounds really crisp. You can manually assign various digital audio inputs to your high def video inputs. Lots of tweaking ability.

For some reason my blu ray drive in my computer would keep telling me that I did not have a DHCP compatible connection when I played movies. The work around was to put the HDMI cable straight into one of my monitor's HDMI slots and just run Optical out...

Amazing System

 

You better have good speakers to go with this bad boy.

So many features to begin with, this baby handles great, the sound is amazing, i upgraded from an older pioneer model from like 1999 or 2000 that was only 220watts total power and it was just not satisfying my home theatre sound needs anymore, so...

i just had one complaint about this but it wasent cause of NewEgg, it was mostly because of the carelessness of UPS, when i first open my box to see what it looked like, i was all amazed, until i saw the back of the receiver, it was bent on the corner,...
