Pioneer VSX-LX105 Elite 7.2 Channel Network AV Receiver

Positives: -Dialogue enhancer the main reason for purchase. I was tired of having to turn up the volume to hear conversations while loud music is being played in the background of all current tv/movies. -I use a 3.1 channel (3 speakers and subwoofer) and find the sound to be very clear -Remote control works well with all functions I need. Two AAA batteries needed and supplied with receiver Negatives: -Cannot get my WD Media player to play files in correct synch. Not sure if it's a WD problem or an HDMI Arc synch problem. Synch is fine with tv and bluray player. -Remote control made of cheap plastic so I purchased an extra off brand model through ebay for $20. In my case, remotes always stop working before the receiver ever conks out -No proper manual. Have to find it online. Would suggest looking at the manual first online before purchasing the receiver in case you might be too complex to set up.

Hasta el momento funciona muy bien

O equipamento atende perfeitamente para minha sala de áudio e vídeo. Foi fácil a instalação, bastante intuitiva. Ótimo equipamento.

I purchased this Pioneer Elite VSX-LX105 7.2 Channel Receiver to replace a failed 16 year old Onkyo unit. My decision was based on features and the reviews from others. If their product gets a 4.4 rating, Pioneer must be doing something right. I have one Klipsch sub-woofer and seven other speakers, so I only needed 7.1 channels. After setting the system up, here's what I like: Alexa compatibility, sound quality, value for the money, a front panel knob for changing inputs, easy to read display, and the simple setup including automatic sound calibration in my listening room. Things I didn't like: speaker terminal layout on the back panel. Setting up Alexa was as easy as logging into my Amazon account. The receiver displayed a QR code on the TV and I used my phone to complete the login. I gave it the original sounding name "Receiver," and that was it. The first time I used my voice to tell Alexa to stream (name of song) on the "Receiver," I was amazed! I'm convinced the Pioneer surround sound quality is better than my old receiver. The price was reasonable compared to other similar receivers. The controls are definitely better than my old Onkyo. It had buttons with very small labels for changing inputs. These labels and the display were difficult to read. If I used the front panel for changing inputs it was through trial and error. By contrast, the Pioneer receiver makes it easy to change inputs from the front panel with a large knob and a bright display. If the display is too bright, it can be adjusted. The automatic sound calibration procedure begins by simply plugging in the microphone on the front panel. There's also an option to set up the speakers manually. The most difficult part of the setup was attaching speaker wires to the terminals on the back. Most of my speakers have banana plugs, which are easy to attach, but three speakers have bare wires. These were hard for me to attach using the screw terminals. Each pair is arranged over/under, not side by side like the Denon receivers. I had trouble getting my fingers in the tight space. Side by side would be better. However, once the speakers are connected, you shouldn't have to touch the terminals again unless you relocate the receiver. It's not a show stopper.

Es un aparato excelente, combina a la perfección tecnología de punta, potencia de audio y alta fidelidad. Fue una compra excepcional, altamente recomendable.
