Pioneer VSX-935 7.2 Channel Surround Sound Network Receiver Dolby Atmos (2021)

This receiver was a bit difficult to install. The way the speaker wires connect is not well placed but hopefully I am done with that now. Also I used the automatic setup but was not happy with the results. I did a manual setup and now this thing sounds good! I am extremely happy with the sound and function. I replaced an old Onkio receiver that had quit working and this one blows that one out of the water. This Pioneer will play all the speakers when listening to music which always irritated me about the Onkio not doing that. I still have my same speakers and the sound is crisp and clear and loud. Up to 50 the volume is pretty low and gradual adjust which is nice for listening low but top level 50 and it gets loud fast. My ears can only handle up to 68 and then its too loud. I seriously couldn't be more happy. This thing surpasses my expectations. Very happy with my purchase. It even has an rf remote and dual zone speaker output if I want to put speakers in a different room or on the deck. The display is clear and not too busy with a dimmer on it. Where I have it its not very visible but is a good looking receiver I wouldn't mind having prominently visible. Very glad I picked this Pioneer out.

I was a little skeptical buying used through Amazon, but the item came exactly as described and functions perfectly. I am happy to have an amazing quality product at a fraction of the full price. My family has enjoyed the immersion of 7.2 surround sound!

It took two tries but I like the results. The first receiver was DOA. The vendor was quick to send out another receiver. The firmware on this receiver needs work. I hope Pioneer works out the kinks. The connectivity options are great as is the video. The receiver works flawlessly with Audirvana and works well with DSD128. The remote control buttons even work back through my network to Audirvana.The room correction with phase correction is much better than my decade old previous receiver. The detail I am getting is very close to what I hear with a dedicated DAC and headphone amplifier. I very much like the dialog control for video content. The receiver lacks suffisticated compression and dynamic EQ, or video controls. It has compression and EQ , but just on or off. This lack of things to screw up might grow on me. There is much to be said for simplicity.

Got the day it was released. Great sound with plenty of options. Con is trying g update. Is USB only and both times have failed with error codes. Have read the manual a couple of times, so if someone sees this and has a tip, would be much appreciated.

This receiver is junk. Allegedly, it can take multiple HDMI inputs, and output that to your TV. Allegedly, it can do dolby DTS and send sound to all speakers. I bought this, and from the start it couldn't display the video properly when attached to a computer through HDMI, as it would just turn the screen to snow when you opened a streaming website. After getting ahold of Pioneer, they advised me to make a few changes, which allows it to display the video finally, but it constantly goes black and refreshes as it apparently tries to find a different mode, very annoying, but after awhile it will stop, so eventually you can watch a show. It absolutely will not put sound to the rear or side surround sound speakers. The bluetooth works fine from an android phone, but mine will never play sound from the rear speakers, which is annoying. It might work properly after firmware updates, constant resetting, and continually reconfiguring it, but after 8 hours of troubleshooting, how much more time should you have to spend setting up a device that is supposed to work. Buy another brand and move on unless you enjoy spending your time troubleshooting basic functions.

This receiver has so many features it will take you a few days of exploring around to figure it all out. The mic it comes with when setting up the speakers gets you a baseline but you will have to go back in and manually adjust the volume settings on each speaker and turn it up and the distance too will have to be extended if you want the true good sound this receiver will produce. It has a feature that allows you to sync it with a ROKU remote and when you turn on your ROKU it also turns on the receiver and it controls the volume to. The Bluetooth works great too which was another selling point for me since I like to stream music. Great receiver I recommend and Amazon has a very good price if you have a tight budget!

This has given me great “smart” audio for my home and patio. It is very intuitive to set up and plenty of features.I’ve found the Bluetooth to not be the best but play music through AirPlay rather than Bluetooth and it works great.The app right on your phone is great to independently control the zones. As well asmany other features.

Edited: an OK AV receiver as long as you don’t want any form of modern connectivity or remote control options. Connection was simple. Sound and video is amazing! It’s supposed to have connectivity to Alexa but that no longer works. It does have a remote app, but the app is worthless as you cannot control anything with it. Those abilities seem to have been removed in a recent “update” to the remote app :( After several months with the receiver I am now less impressed with it. Sound and video quality is OK, but who is selling an AV receiver in 2024 without some kind of remote control capability :(
