Trying to gain entry into my home from Pioneer / Onkyo
3/5

The level of 1 star is The following is a mandatory privacy agreement Onkyo receivers that have been older were on my shelves, and I wanted to switch to a new receiver. Having read onkyo reviews, which revealed that onkyo is known for its CONSTANT HARASSMENT-I passed on Onkyo. This Privacy Policy applies to all customers. The Pioneer brand is now owned by Onkyo, which uses the same invasive practices. *if you do setup, you can decide to agree or disagree with the current Onkyo The photo shows this (see below). You will be harassed every time you turn on the receiver if you do not agree. I figure my wife and kids will agree sooner or later. My experience with the setup process was a positive one. took me no time at all. My device has improved its pictures, and it also has a better sound system. I was able to edit the CHANNELS of the inputs. It is possible to connect everything with that many HDMI inputs. I used old Design Acoustic PC speakers for Dolby Atmos, and it filled up the room well. The deceptive practices of Onkyo are always in my mind every time I turn my receiver on. The fact that they offered to come into my home upsets me because I bought their product.

DIAG mode of the AMP
3/5

It has been less than two months since I bought it. These receivers performed as expected for the first six weeks they were used. Since the last two weeks, it has been tripping the breaker connected to my outlets. The unit started to trip the breaker, then became stuck in the "AMP DIAG" mode. I didn't know what was happening at first. In the near future, I'm shipping this to a service center. I just thought you might find this interesting There was no overdrive of the receiver from my speakers or the volume going up too high. Watching TV is all I do.

A brand new unit that I received is defective
3/5

The device I received was not working when I installed it. My product was sent to the Pioneer authorized service center here in Manila, where they found the Digital Signal Processor to be faulty. I know it's passed the 30 day return period. However, I am a Filipino from Manila. Let's see if we can help each other.

Very nice receiver that is compatible with both 4K & Dolby Atmos
5/5

My decision to upgrade to Dolby Atmos was a good one. The Pioneer brand is a good choice for home theater systems. Despite the manual stating that it was designed for 8 Ohm speakers, the on-board amps can handle only 4 Ohm In the setup of the screen software, only 6 Ohm and 4 Ohm resistances are available as choices.

Wow! I am in awe of what you have accomplished! The "surround sound" in our living room has been upgraded to a 360-degree system Audio experience that is total immersion, of high quality
5/5

It feels like rain outside or was that sound coming from the ceiling or back Wow! What an amazing effect! Now tell me, what could make it better? Our goal was to assess or try the new, elevated experience after installation by using YouTube videos of Atmos sound. I recommend pairing this system with Bose Home system speakers and a subwoofer (+ 4K TV). In the case of the Pioneer ELITE VSX-80i, the sound is exquisite I cannot say enough good things about the LX 303. A new paradigm of home cinema is set to emerge. Lol, this is going to make me less likely to go to movie theaters.

The Pioneer VSX series The code for this is LX303-9
5/5

The package arrived in good condition, without any damage to the packaging. The receiver worked right out of the box after it was set up in a matter of minutes. Purchasing my third Pioneer receiver has been a long and winding road. The first was purchased way back in the early 1990s. There are still very good ones, I use them in the garage on a lower level of my There is no better equipment on the market than Pioneer's. My big box rear projection TV served me well for 15 years before it broke down. In the event that Pioneer's quality remains high, I will continue to buy their products. In addition, I like the fact that they retained the turntable input. We have a turntable and love our old Vinyl records, true audiophiles can tell the difference between digital and analogue The receiver allows me to expand with overhead speakers, which I want to add to my "To Do" list. I have not reviewed tech support yet since I have never had to contact it.

I like this receiver a lot
5/5

I love it that Turntables, CDs, DVDs, FM, and more) are all connected right to the receiver and the sound quality is much better than Nonetheless, it was difficult for someone like me who is not familiar with electronics to set it up. My Kindle was down loaded and printed over 130 pages of the owners manual. I walked through the pages, and I eventually had to hire a Geek Guy to do the setup If there were easy to follow instructions for setup that are specific, concise, sequential, with visuals, it would be helpful.

Buying is not a good idea
3/5

There is no problem with HDMI inputted devices in Zone 2/3. Do you know what year it is? As part of our upgrade to 4K HDR, we purchased this receiver in 2019. At our back deck, we have a zone 2 set of speakers. It took us many frustrating hours of trying to get those speakers to work that we learned the receiver does not play sound to zone 2/3 if an HDMI device is connected. On our old (probably 10 year old) receiver we loved playing music through our Apple TV system on our zone 2 deck speakers. That can't be done with this receiver because you have to connect AppleTV via There is no way I can explain why Pioneer offers a receiver like this. It's too late to win back a lifelong customer. The receiver isn't something that I would feel comfortable reselling to anybody, so I am not sure what we will do with it. Probably just keep that $400 foot rest. Well, this is a terrible Pioneer. If you want to market the greatness of zone 2/3 features on this receiver, then at least be upfront about its lack of modern capabilities.
