Pioneer VSX-523-K

Multiple HDMI inputs, simple interface.

Not compatible with Apple TV 4 remote. Interface is almost too simple as there are few few options and settings to select. Wire hookup were very difficult to use as the knob connectors are turned at a 45 degree angle which is difficult to use and makes...

Sounds good when it works.

A year and half later it doesn't output sound. It just stopped working on its own. Changed out the HDMI cable and still nothing. Speakers do work though. Have to attach an analog TV in order to configure the unit.

Front Right Channel not working out of the box. Have to go through the hassle of returning the item.

Great bang for the buck and it's pretty straight forward to use. Sound is great (especially for the price). It's no top of the line system, but if you're on a budget or just starting out, it's a pretty solid buy. It powers up pretty fast and ties all...

No wi-fi, but at this price it's not a con per-se. As a receiver, it is larger than most other devices. Once again, not a con really, just something you have to expect to have/make room for. It has built in controls for a TV, but this only works on...

No pre outs except subwoofer ; Cannot use menu and have sound playing at the same time. menu only displays on television through composite cable not on hdmi ; Cross over options are preset, would be better if it could be set by user specifically ;...

Most powerful receiver in this price range. Very clean sound Has most Dolby and DTS sound field.

None so far. My last Pioneer receiver lasted 13 years .

Seems to be a functional replacement for the Pioneer Receiver of slightly inferior performance stds suddenly died. Every attribute seems true

Since the 1st Pioneer went down after abt 2-1/2 years of sporatic use, my long term opinion of this product is guarded. But for price and performance while it functions, it cannot be beat.
