Pioneer VSX-924-S 7.2 network AV receiver (150 watts per channel, Airplay, ext. Control, Internet Radio, Spotify Connect, gapless playback, Bluetooth & Wi-Fi, multizone) Silver (Electronics)

Customer Review

Suffice to set up: half on the TV (MCACC setup) via remote control and half on the PC (keeping the lines including speakers.) Via network = neither one thing a whole and therefore just ugly.
Doku: Good for nothing, neither the detailed instructions in PDF format nor the Quick Start Guide in paper form. Example:
Pictured on page 24 we read: "This connection is required to listen to the sound of the TV over the receiver." Reference is made to one of the 3 compounds Coax, SPDIF or analog RCA. This is all new TVs with HDMI ARC obsolete / wrong. While this is also somewhere later in the text, but the fact remains that the image is not correct.
Of the many grammatical and spelling errors I start better not even on.
Tips and Hints:
1. A 5.1 speaker system is in the "under 5.1" set, which is exactly where it should not be.
2. The fine adjustments makes it better with the App "iControlAV5". To my surprise, this SW is really good.
3. The sound from stereo sources can be greatly improved for my taste with the "Extended Stereo". This is a kind of quadraphonic and for me much better than, say, Dolby Pro Logic ....
4. Who would buy an unobtrusive device better the black version. In the silver version, the two big adjustment control shine but (to) much. It comes in the pictures unfortunately not so out as it is in reality. For black is also suggested that there is a better Pioneer BD player NOT in silver. For me, this is absolutely unveständlich ...
5. Silver Version: The front looks like brushed aluminum from 100% although it is only plastic. In my view, the plastic is not a reason not to move the unit for a purchase into consideration.
6. The MCACC Setup does not start? Disconnect the micro and reinsert; MCACC should start now.

Addendum 2014-11-16:
- "Half on the TV (MCACC setup) via remote control and half on the PC (. Connection details including speakers) via the network ..." You can also replace it with a PC setup app setup on "iControlAV5".
- Power consumption (with 5 speakers connected) without sound output (idle): 85 watts.
- 7. The silent playback (evening / night) from DTS or Dolby audio sources can be greatly improved for my taste with the "ALC".
- Make a comparison with my old "before HDMI era, EUR 600 5.1 Receiver"? That does not make sense because there are worlds between. I can therefore say to the death of my old receiver: Fortunately! The only pity is the "you" is not 2.2 / 4 yet to 4K UltraHD / HDCP: 4 have time to wait ...: 4

Addendum 2014-12-22:
I head over S / PDIF my tone to the amplifier, thereby I handle potential HDMI problems (disadvantage: DTS-HD and DD-HD, ... can not be transferred). When I watch a movie in eg DD abspiele 5.1 sound and now go on fast forward, then the sound will change to PCM Stereo (which makes my setter so). As far as all this is not an issue but unfortunately the Pioneer does not like to change: For example, at every 5th time the sound off and comes only after repeated again change (or switch the decoder via the "AUTO" button) again. That annoys me very now, as is common in fast-forward TV recordings. One star deduction (if it is fixed via firmware update, I'm doing the Undo).

Addendum 2015-01-02:
8. The front is very prone to scratches and fingerprints, ie who a real aluminum front panel is operated, the device not only via the FB itself as quickly wish.
9. For stereo the subwoofer is from? When speaker setup you can make in "SW" not only from "no" to "yes" but continues to "plus". Only then is the SW is also used in stereo sources. This is no one!

Addendum 2015-02-22:
10. The device has Power Toggle, Power On and Power Off IR commands. That is very welcome: With a Logitech Harmony FB Vewendung is then automatically dispensed Power Toggle and instead the other two commands are used. This prevents any unwanted changes between on / off occur. This property I would also very much like for my other AV devices but only the Pioneer it.
- To "2014-12-22" Pioneer says that my unit is defective and I should send it there. Since I have been (very) bad experiences with repairs in general I do not want to get involved in the "Repair risk" (at least until further notice).
