Rating: Summary: awesome receiver Review: I bought this receiver bout a year ago at bestbuy. Let me tell you this is one of the best audio investments I made. I dont yhink it mentions it but one its dsp modes is 6 channel stereo and I use that because I only use it for music and listen to hip hop. The unit has one draw back though you have no control over treble or bass when in any dsp modes you can only use that in the 2 channel stereo mode and like a lot of bass so currently I have 4 klh 12" woofer speakers hooked up and two sony bookshelf with 8" woofer whicH I will be getting rid of when I receive the AV 5001s by klh. It rivals some of the high end yamaha and marantz high end receivers. I got mine for much cheaper, 400 and at that price I just couldnt resist it. I highly recommend this item thats why I give it 5 stars.
Rating: Summary: not bad Review: i bought this reciever about 14 months ago at best buy i thought it lacked a few features like on screen gui but otherwise it was a solid preformer about 6 months into owning it the remote stoped working then about 8 months into owning it when i had it on the volume would start to turn up or down on its own and then about 1 month ago it stoped working when you turn it on it displayes dsp ng what ever that means any how i think this one was a lemon i would still recomend pioneers products just get an extended warrenty with it
