Average Rating: out of 5 stars
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Buyer's remorse but I deal with it.
You get what you paid for is what comes to mind with this unit so I take full responsibility for my purchase.Sound, looks, ease of use on this unit are all very nice but there is an issue regarding the HDMI connection and it's not about the video-only pass-thru but rather the HDMI "handshake".It does not like the HDMI connection to a Playstation 3.Video "flashes" and blank video for 3 to 5 seconds is common.I've resolved this by directly making the connection from the PS3 to my Samsung LN52A650 ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Really nice receiver, but not perfect.
Overall, this is a great unit. I did a lot of research, and I was really disappointed that (at the time of purchase) there weren't many units that could just take an HDMI signal (video and audio) and work with all the audio channels. The wording is confusing to the point of almost being misleading, and I'm sure more than a few people have purchased this receiver thinking it had full HDMI compatibility. Well, it doesn't, as other reviewers have pointed out. I use optical audio and it sounds great, so that ... Read More

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Pleased, but didn't get everything I expected
I was shopping within this price point so I can't be two disappointed about several issues.

First, the sound is really fantastic, if you have really good speakers and I do.With a 15" sub-woofer it shakes the house.The the auto sound setup for the room is perfect.I set it up, let it configure and wow, very nice sound profile with a lot of depth.Basically, I'm very happy with the sound aspects of the receiver.

There are a few drawback I think are significant.First, the on ... Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Pioneer's VSX-1017TXV = A Great Mid-Price Receiver
I first selected a Pioneer unit based on my previous good experience with their products.The VSX-1017TXV unit was my final choice based on its features, price and reviews.

The receiver was delivered promptly and the on-screen set-up procedure built into the system is quick and results in a great home theater experience without hassle.The remote control navigation and feature selection is well thought out and makes the day-to-day use of the receiver moving from HDTV, TiVo, DVD movies and ...

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Overly complex and disappointing
Not only is this thing too complex and fails to support the newer codecs but it doesn't support sound via HDMI.I learned this the hard way when trying to setup my 360 and PS3 to output video/sound via HDMI to the receiver.
