"The only contender in sub $300"
Pros: THX, HDMI passthrough, connections galore, decodes all the new embedded formats, high power.
Cons: At this price...none
Summary: While this receiver is not perfect it certainly brings the world of THX to the common folk. I agree that there are features that would have been nice but then those are available on much pricier models from everyone. The fact that Pioneer managed to pull off this beautiful machine with the best street price around for THX is a wonder in itself. If you have a taste for the expensive then bugger off and go that way but this is the working mans home theater receiver and deserves recognition in that venue.
Sound is awesome and setup couldn't be any easier as it will tailor itself to your environment. Outstanding in features for the price.
