Pioneer VSX-D711 5.1 Channels Receiver

Pros: Sound Quality
Cons: Remote Control Setup

Upon the demise of my 9 year old Pioneer we went on the hunt for a new receiver. After reading many reviews from different people and professionals we settled on the VSX D711 by Pioneer.

This unit has the majority of the latest bells and...

Pros: A plethora of inputs
Cons: Only 4 video inputs No eject or sleep button on the remote

Everyone can appreciate great sound. I had been surviving with a hand-me-down receiver that was olde ...

Excellent sound reproduction. especially true for Mp3 sounds and Dolby5.1 and DTS encoded DVD. be sure to use Digital coax sound input on this unit for best quality.

Pros: Creates excellent theater like sound, s-video and component inputs, easy to use remote
Cons: Could produce more low-end bass

I enjoy listening to the amazing digital effects that this receiver creates when watching movies. It makes movies much more enjoyable because when it turns on it makes you feel like you're in the scene of the movie yourself. Also with 100 watts a channel it is no wonder why this amp fills up any size room with high quality sound. You can also program how far each speaker is from where you like to sit, all with the easy to use remote. This makes movies better because it ensures that the signal reaches you at the right time from all of the five speakers. This receiver also has many inputs including AUX, DVD/LD, SAT, Video, Tape, and CD. Conveniently it includes component video, s-video and, composite video switching. The only thing I don't like about it is that it has trouble putting out loud low-end bass but that doesn't affect anything if you are not planning on powering big subwoofers. I think that it is an excellent receiver, especially for a good price. (I got mine for only $120).
