With Dolby Atmos or DTS:X generated surround sound and a video output in Ultra HD every movie will be a high-quality experience. Of course, also Spotify, TIDAL and Deezer users can still enjoy their favourite streaming service.
I bought this Av reciever after already having a lx-57 which I changed to the vsx-lx503 for atmos capability as part of my lounge surround sound system. After using this for six months I decided to upgrade bedroom system so opted for this lower spec model to pair with kef 3005 5.1 system, which pretty much has the same user ability as the more expensive brother, however at less power per channel but this is more than enough what am running in bedroom system. A pure bargain at the sale discount price of 330 vs my first pioneer which was 1200
Not the Pioneer it used to be, quality has gone down hill massively!
I purchased this reciever to replace the horrible Onkyo reciever as I couldn’t deal with the speaker crackles and picture cutting out, I’ve had 2 other Pioneer receivers 5-10 years ago and were very good.
I started to encounter the same problems with this receiver a week after it was delivered so I do some digging to find out why this was happening, I couldn’t believe my bad luck when I found out Onyko had taken over Pioneers AV receiver part of the company in 2014 and put their terrible software into this unit
I have returned this receiver and I won’t be buying another Pioneer or Onkyo receiver again.
Excellent product. Easy to set-up & great sound & video. Excellent range of inputs
Downside is no bluetooth transmission and a DAB tuner would be a good addition
