Pioneer VSX-920-K Receiver First Look

 

These retail for $229 and $299 respectively. The differences between the two are pretty significant and many might be able to justify the additional expenditure for the 820. The question is whether those same people might be convinced that spending an...

The VSX-920-K shares a lot of the features with the two lower priced receivers. Why shouldn't it? They offer a great foundation. With four 3-D ready HDMI 1.4 inputs, 110 watts per channel, and iPhone Certification, there is lot to like. The VSX-920-K...

Great product and it's efficient on power

 

Price is good for the performance. Drives the neighbors crazy with my Klipsch B20's.

MCACC, DTS-HD, 3D HDMI switching. HDMI-CEC so when the TV goes off so does the amp and vice versa

Don't ask grandma to install, so many plugs. No DLNA for streaming with the rest of the home network

Excellent surround sound

 

Great value for money

Excellent surround sound with digital source. Even simulated surround from a stereo source produces engaging effect. Lots of useful features

Analog source produce disappointing sound especially in stereo mode

HDMI port issues.

 

Both of the Bluray and DVD inputs no longer work. The audio cut out and never came back on. I guess this a common problem with these units. Buyer beware.

And another one fails...

 

It was a 4 star receiver during the 1.5 years I owned it but realistically, even a cheap product such as this shouldn't fail in under 2 years. I guess that one year warranty really does mean something. For the first year or so, it was a solid receiver...
