No Surprises
(5 out of 5) by Fredrick O. Smetana on Apr 6, 2007 (Raleigh, NC)Thus far I have been pleased with the receiver. It performs as expected.
However, I've not tried every function as yet. At some point we'll try HDMI.

Forget HDMI
(1 out of 5) by David Manners on Aug 12, 2007 (Tacoma, WA USA)The unit I received can't seem to hold on to a HDMI connection or even establish one.
According to Pioneer's documentation; HDMI input is not available until you manually configure it but after many attempts I could only manage to watch a few minutes of HD-DVD or a few seconds from my HD cable connection before a complete blackout.
I didn't find this receiver to be user friendly and I suspect the unit I received was defective so I'm returning it and plan to buy a different model or brand.

DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!
(1 out of 5) by Russell on Jul 5, 2007 (New Orleans, LA)I bought this receiver for two reasons: it had 3 component inputs and the THX rating.
First, I had to purchase a $20 3way component switch becuase the one in this reciever is junk. It has too much loss and my screen goes blank when I use it.
Second, I never use the THX becuase it doesnt sound as good as the dolby settings.
So basically it sucks and I would give it 0 stars if it were an option. Also, the customer service sucks too. They wanted me to send it in to get worked on. My unit was not the problem. I bought one from BB and it did the same thing. No refund..so now I'm stuck with this piece of trash.

? for Russell (New Orleans, LA)
(5 out of 5) by Paul C. Kermis on Jul 15, 2007 (Rochester, NY, USA)Would you be willing to sell it? I have a pair of 1015s bi-amping 7 JBL E100s; that's 28 drivers in total (not including the two channel sub-woofer system). Sweetest system that I have ever put together. One of my audiophite buddies with a $15K system, could only look down at the floor as he walked out to the room. I'd be willing to take your "piece of junk" off your hands. Repost if your interested and I'll respond with an email address.
