I have the vsx-1023-k. I'd recommend it to anyone. It's incredible!

Good Review. Explains all aspects and features crisply and comprehensive enough. Good job!

Thank you for making this video. I just purchased one of these second hand. Excellent shape came with everything it should have.

But I am struggling to get through set up using the manual. I know it could be so much better than it is. But it does sound good.

Great video!!

I like this style of recording better. I like seeing you as apposed to hearing your voice.

[GermanBrother]

I love this new style you've acquired, it's great!!! Well worth the wait!!!

I have had a pioneer elite for about 3 years and I love it. Before that I had an aragon system. I got 2 boxes with that system, one was the amp the other was just the receiver. I got rid of it because whenever I shocked it with static electricity, I would have to open up the system and replace a part.

Works Great with iPad, iTunes libraries and Airplay . . . . love this

Very nice review! What kind of watch are you sporting? If you don't mind me asking. It looks pretty cool!

[DPCB]

Awesome! :) are you going to do your top 5 apple products this year?

[montyhades]

Thanks for the video, I got this for Christmas and it works perfect with all my devices, and my tv sounds works also great, I didn't pay that much though, I got it at amazon plus free shipping, but nice review, thanks for it!!

Hi... I just bought the VSX-1020... and want to know how to access the GUI to set up it... but have no clue how to do that... can you help or give any advice...? thanks in advance...

I have been thinking about upgrading my receiver at some point. This looks like a pretty good option at a decent price.

[MattHalpain]

wow, recievers have come a long way with the iPad or iPhone app. I like the microphone to set surround sound. Thanks for the tip to go with a apple airport express for wireless internet to the receiver

This might be a stupid question but i've been using this reciever for years now and I finally got a 4K tv. I run everything through this receiver and into the 4k TV. Since this isn't a 4k receiver, will I still get actual 4K quality picture?

[justinpow]

Nice Receiver, I've got a LX-72 myself and its a really good sounding amp. Its great for movies but I still prefer using a dedicated Stereo amplifier for Music. Does this receiver have the Microphone for tuning the MCACC?

[gomac]

great video and review. this is the thing you see in the movie sci-fi. everything in one place. very cool.

Does the iPod video actually work? I've used both Logitech and Belkin docks that include video "options" but they never worked.

I had this model for about two months before selling it on Ebay. The sound was ok but I had to turn thing up to 40 percent before it got loud.
