Decent midrange Receiver for the price and quality by Jacob Samuel
Overall I am satisfied with the receiver. It was an upgrade from my Onkyo 607. Did not find a magical difference in video processing. I have connected Panasonic BDP, Verizon FIOS Motorola DVR and Seagate Theater+ via HDMI. It is also connected to home network and together with iControl on iPhone and web control via PC & iPhone is awesome. Though it uses port 8102 for web access, it is not possible to access the web interference via remote access.

Pros

Nicely built hardware

Bluetooth connectivity with optional Bluetooth adapter

Web access for basic control and Internet radio configuration

iControl app for iPhone

Fully compatible with iPhone for video, music, slide shows, youtube etc.

USB Keyboard connectivity makes life lot easier

Cons

No HDMI pass through

No way to change internet radio statoins via iControl App.

Limited web connectivity

Small remote keys

No dedicated Zone2 terminals

Make sure you read use manual thoroughly while setting up a Pioneer receiver for the first time. Bluetooth connection and Zone2 configuration is tricky.
