Great receiver for the price.. October 22, 2009 Premkumar Vijayakumar (US) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is one of those products which is cheap but now skimpy on features.
br /Its got most of the bells and whistles of high end product, like TrueHD, DTSHD and other sound formats. It onscreen display and most of all yes it will process the audio through your HDMI. Yes PS3 owners this is a great receiver which will process 7.1 channel through HDMI, just remember to set the PS3 to Bitsream audio format.
br /
br /Now its all not perfect receiver.
br /
br /Couple of inconveniences: it upconvert analog signals to 480p thru component output only, so your setup and ipod control all of its only possible if you connect the component output to your TV. I do not find this as a big deal. The documentation is not great.
br /
br /Remote control is very versatile and you can set any brand tv, suprisingly my syntax oleiva TV had the code entry.
br /
br /Overall its a great investment for the multitude of features it possesses...
Really good receiver for the price October 3, 2009 indigator (Irving, TX) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've had this receiver for more than 4 months and I am very pleased with the performance. I havent hooked it up to all my surround speakers, just using the front 3 speakers and subwoofer and its still good.
br /The setup is pretty simple, i have it hooked up to my DVD player using HDMI as well as my set top box and CD player.
br /The only problem is that I havent been able to connect my ipod Mini. It doesnt seem to support this particular version of ipod. I guess I have to upgrade my ipod.

Terrible iPod Onscreen Menu / HDMI Repeater Problem October 3, 2009 Chartsurgeon 3 out of 5 found this review helpful
I purchased this product after comparing reviews of it and similar products. This is my third Pioneer A/V Receiver over several years. I am generally pleased with the product but there are a couple of things that could be improved. First, my Time Warner Cable box (Scientific Atlanta 8240HDC) does not play well with this receiver's HDMI "repeater". When going through the Pioneer, even though I program the cable box to output 1080i ONLY, it reverts back to the 480/720/1080 default output resolution mode every time I cycle power. This results in output to my HDTV being 480 or 720 lines depending on the source programming resolution. If I DON'T go through the Pioneer (i.e., I go directly to the HDTV), the cable box output resolution remains locked at 1080i (480/720 source is upconverted) as I had programmed it to, even after cycling power. Obviously, something in the Pioneer confuses the cable box. Of course, the underlying problem is with the cable box software but it's a major task to communicate this to Time Warner Cable via their customer service staff. Second, the receiver's onscreen iPod menu (OSD) is the worst I have ever seen, and I have been using PC's since the Commodore-Vic days. Onscreen resolution is unbelievably low and response is terrible. Connection to the HDTV is via composite video cable. Big disappointment. The iPod's own display and controls are disabled while the OSD is active. You can toggle between receiver OSD control and iPod control by pressing an obscure button on the remote.
