Comments about Pioneer Pioneer Elite 7.1 Channel Home Theater Black Receiver:
I use this to power my Home Theater. It powers my Xbox 360, PS2, Sony BDP-350 Blu-Ray Player, Comcast Digital Box, VCR, and even my IPOD if I want. It sets up easy, has plenty of connections, and more options that you can shake a stick at.
The IPOD ready USB Port connection seems to not connect to my IPOD sometimes, but if I try to connect again, it usually works. Overall great receiver, cant beat the price.
The package was delivered quickly and in perfect condition. It even included free shipping.
I will definitely buy from ABT again.

Comments about Pioneer Pioneer Elite 7.1 Channel Home Theater Black Receiver:
I'm using this in my home theater room with a PS3 as my Blu-ray player and hooked up to a projector. I'm viewing on a 118 inch screen and that coupled with this reciever makes the movie experience AMAZING and better than going to the actual movie theaters! I replaced my Onkyo 805 receiver with this Pio and I could not be any happier with my decision. This Pioneer does everything better than the Onkyo and the surround sound this Pio puts out is outstanding! By this receiver and don't look back, it is truely excellent, best receiver I have ever owned and I will now be a Pioneer receiver buyer/owner for life.
Shipped fast and arrived fast. Customer service was very helpful as well. This was my first time using this site and it won't be the last!

Comments about Pioneer Pioneer Elite 7.1 Channel Home Theater Black Receiver:
I listen to a lot of music besides HT. The 01 does a great job for both. One feature some people may overlook is the 01's ability to add back some punch to compressed audio like MP3s with the Sound Retriever function. I was amazed at how well some of my music sounded when using this feature. Check it out.
One thing I don't like about the 01 is the GUI. It's horrible. Looks outdated and reminds me of the days of Atari. Come on Pioneer, for this amount of money you could have done better. The good thing is, most people won't be spending a lot of time in the GUI. It works though, that's about all I can say.
I would also like to be able to save individual input settings. That would have been icing on the cake.
ABT got this item early and I jumped on it. The sales rep was very helpful and I placed my order within minutes. I received my VSX01TXH a couple of days after ordering it. It was double boxed so ABT pays attention to shipping. Nice going guys.
