I am leaning toward the Pioneer. I like the Onkyo, but am concerned about it being a refurb and also its LFE problem. I was set on the Yam, but the Pioneer came out...
Here's what it'll hook up to: Sony 27" analog TV Sony DVP-NS300 DVD Toshiba HiFi VCR Sony tape deck (rarely used) Fluance HV-ATB Speakers Sub to be determined later
I have a small living room... It will be primarily used for HT use (75% DVD/Sports), 25% music
Price is absolutely capped at no higher than $300 for the receiver.
Let's here it!

I think you would be hurting yourself if you do not consider the Denon AVR-1603 as well. From mydigitaluniverse.com this can be had for $354.44 which includes the shipping.
But for sound reproduction and to add a little something extra to your music. Check it out. It is a 5.1 reciever that will play your DVDs and music through all 5 speakers as well. Or for a little more go with the AVR-1803 a 6.1 reciever.

If you're looking at the refurb Onkyo TX-SR500 from J&R, I think you can feel safe. I ordered one from there, and it has no trace of the LFE problem.
