Pros: LCD is dimable,component video inputs, external Dolby decoder inputs, 7.1 channel sound!
Cons: Remote is a nightmare, no EQ
The Bottom Line: If the remote that comes with your stereo is important don't buy it. Otherwise, this stereo is a great mid-level stereo.

| kcagle's Full Review: Pioneer VSX-D810S 6.1 Channels Receiver |
I bought this from Bestbuy 12 months interest free. I think it is a good product so far anyway. It came down to this receiver and the comparable yamaha but the yamaha did not have the ability to switch component video, so I went with the Pioneer.
This receiver has very clear output. My previous receiver was a dolby 2.0 JVC and this Pioneer blows it away. I did not replace my speakers yet everything sounds cleaner and crisper. It even has an option to route the DTS signal for the sub through an unused channel so you can plug an unpowered sub.
The remote is horrendous and complicated. The buttons are poorly placed and there is even shift key like on some calculators. What a pain in the rear-end.
Overall, I have been extremely impressed.
