Pioneer VSX-1020-K user reviews

Cons Not quite computer and local network ready. My setup has sufficient extra video and sound out from computers to work ok. Using DISH HD as a source, the receiver chooses output almost randomly, often defeating dialog enhancement settings. on June 11, 2010 by stevemeans  | Read full review

Cons Netwook hook-up should have more PC interfacing flexibility beyound Internet radio - and speaking of which, Internet radio stations difficult to customize/edit presets. Instruction manuel cumbersome at times, assumptuous at others. on June 16, 2010 by kotchjohnson  | Read full review

Cons The included remote is kinda lacking since it doesn't have a button for every input. Buy a Harmony remote instead. It doesn't have pre-outs but the seven built in amplifiers are powerful enough for the majority of users. on May 25, 2010 by ciper  | Read full review

Cons Haven't really found any. The smallest con is just that there's A LOT OF OPTIONS and takes a while to learn how to use it well if you want to really know how to use it versus just plug it in out of the box. on June 29, 2010 by juniormoua  | Read full review

Cons speaker terminals are a bit close together, buttons on the remote are very small on June 5, 2010 by norvabear  | Read full review

Cons This unit is not easily compatible with old CRT TVs. While surround speakers are driven by the receiver, this unit requires a sub woofer with it's own power supply. on May 28, 2010 by iceman952  | Read full review

Cons Lack of Power
Very Bright when driven to loud levels
MCACC can get tedious on September 22, 2010 by mjpearce023  | Read full review

Cons HDMI Passthrough is hit or miss with certain components. The Door on the front of the receiver is flimsy and could have been design much better. The remote is a Maze of confusion. A harmony Remote will eliminate the hassle. on August 19, 2010 by foulsoul74  | Read full review

Cons Only issue I have is with the TV connection (HDMI)...it will not stay on when I start up system. I have to power it on 5-10 seconds after the TV is powered up. on June 26, 2011 by superman529  | Read full review

Cons Manual is just a pain..go to this page, and then this page. Internet radio works, but never, never pull up the form on your laptop and update the channel listing when listening to internet radio OR usb device. So many connections, what a mess. on May 4, 2011 by kingofkalama  | Read full review
