Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K review: Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K

Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K

Outstanding sound quality for the price; four HDMI inputs; can connect an iPod/iPhone directly to its USB port and browse music using onscreen graphical user interface; analog video upconversion to 1080p, with acceptable image quality; onboard Dolby...

Advanced controls can be difficult to setup; confusing manual.

The Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K delivers an excellent feature set and outstanding sound quality for its price, making it our top midrange AV receiver pick so far.

Pioneer VSX-1019AH A/V Receiver

The Pioneer VSX-1019AH has an exceptionally rich feature set at an affordable price. Its spec sheet is an epic document. But the feature that may matter most to a newbie would be the one that explains all the other features. I can sum it up in three...

Pioneer VSX-1019AH A/V Receiver

The front panel is pretty clean, with only 11 buttons, of which four are devoted to listening mode selection. A knob at the far left-every bit as large as the volume control at right-handles input selection. You have to cycle through the inputs to find...

Advanced controls can be difficult to set-up ; Confusing manual

We switched over to program material and the first disc up was Star Trek: Insurrection. The Pioneer had no difficulty clearly rendering the opening sequence, with the curved edges of the bridge railing and boat hulls looking jaggy-free. Lastly, we...

Warranty Bad!!!!!!!!

Went down after 6 months, took it into an authorized warranty shop and...that's where it is still, three months later. All promise no delivery when I talk to Pioneer or the service shop. I think I've purchased my last Pioneer product.

up-conversion, multi hdmi, sounds good

Can't use it...ever

Great Receiver

I ordered this item on 12/24/09 right during the holiday shipping rush. UPS advised of a delivery date on 1/4/10. I had 3-Day UPS shipping so I was a bit disappointed but I understood. Newegg as usual did very well and I received my unit on 12/29/09....

This receiver has enough power to push med-large size speakers just fine. The ability to Bi-Amp front speakers with separate powered sub woofers is very nice and makes a big difference in action and dynamic movies. Rumbles enough to shake the remote...

As previously mentioned the manual is all but useless. Not reader friendly in the least. Numerous settings will have to be made by trial and error. The graphic display on the TV helps quite a bit though and will allow you to set this up properly in...
