As I sit on Pioneer for years, I thought with this year I give myself time for Christmas an AV Receiver Pioneer since my old Reciever was no longer sufficient for my needs. The first impression when unpacking was the Receiver looks optically very good, although the processing of the front is made of plastic. But apart from that offered by the Receiver an entire fleet of terminals, including some HDMI ports which you can use the Receiver as a neutral distribution for its other units. When I connect the Receiver, I launched him and thus came to the first settings. Here, the first impression was ... Ohmann I first had to orient because it is kept very chaotic. After some time it was that you could make the settings plausible. Then I have the reciever connected to my PC and also on my iPad to try out there and I was pleasantly surprised. Everything works fine, both the link and the control etc. CONCLUSION: I am with Setting Recievern and EQ's not a newcomer, but for newcomers and beginners is the Reciever literally new territory, because it is extremely Anüberschtlich and for experts. But all in one when you can adjust the settings and it also settles properly brings the Receiver an above average to very good sound forth. I'm going as it looks even need 1-2 weeks to the Receiver to understand completely. But that's me, and value for the price you can not go wrong.
The only negative thing I dreißt a bit think that has in the description is that of the wireless Receiver internally. Unfortunately this is not true. Man would have the optional wireless adapter, buy a wireless connection with no matter what make or whether IPAD Internet. I have already looked after adapters, but the recessions speak only a one-sided language, as is stated very explicitly that after a few meters or by an obstacle, the adapter an impaired or no connection more. And these are just under 30 too much.
