I use harmony1100 univ remote and it turns my system and components on automatically in the correct order to avoid conflict. System works wonderfully as it is meant to.
No Wi-Fi adapter!! We are in 2011, how can an Elite Pioneer AV receiver not have WI-Fi?
Bottom line for $350 this is an excellent AVR. It is very responsive and has 4 HDMI inputs. So far I have been very happy and satisfied with the receiver. Although, I now have upgraditis and want to purchase a more powerful and robust receiver with a 7.1 sound system.
Great sound, plenty of input choices, iPhone Doc and Bluetooth, auto upscaling to HDMI.
Can't use HDMI as TV input
The "handshaking" between my TV and receiver can't figure out my TV is on HDMI1 and not on TV.
When I turn on my TV, it sends a signal to the receiver and it changes to TV/VCR, the problem is that the cable is on HDMI1 and TV cannot be programmed to be HDMI instead of optical unless I give up volume control to only the receiver.
