I replaced a Pioneer VSX-1016TXV-K 7.1 Channel Audio/Video Receiver with this one Mainly because of the HDMI, loseless sound and familiarity with Pioneer. My old receiver was only 2.5 years old.
I've only had it a couple of days but some things I'm noticing---
---When playing music I noticed a sound coming from the receiver,,,it was a fan turning on and although it was not noticeable during loud music, during soft music I definitely noticed it. Why is this happening when the old receiver put out 110 per channel and this one puts out 120 per channel, plus the receiver is probably at 50%! It is in a well ventilated area.
---For whatever reason I am having a difficult time with the receiver and DTS from the HDDVD and also when it displays lossless sound from my bluray player (BD360). It is somewhat confusing although I believe it is performing the function of converting the signal displaying PCM on the display. Never the less it is certainly not 100% forthright and the manual does not explain it fully IMO.
---Being familiar with PIONEER made it easier on me however if I had never bought a Pioneer I could be lost as I am definitely not an audiophile.
---Setup was fairly quick and I am now in the process of replacing all my speakers with Klipsch.
Don't get me wrong as I like the receiver because of all the less wiring and the functions I bought it for but I cannot rate it higher than my prior receiver yet.
I will give it a month and addendum this review after I play for awhile although I had to put down my initial response.Get more detail about Pioneer VSX-919AH-K 120 Watts A/V Receiver with Full Color GUI/OSD, Advanced MCACC and Analog to HDMI Up-Conversion (Black).
