As elegant as it is advanced, the Pioneer VSX921K delivers amazing home theater performance at a surprising value. With connectivity options for all your latest high-definition home theater components, and digital 1080p upscaling from any source, the VSX921K does two things remarkably well: It takes performance further, while at the same time bringing you closer to exactly what the artist intended.

With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.
You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.
Great sound, bad UI
I bought this to replace a 3 year old Onkyo that died from a bad HDMI circuit. The most impressive thing about it is how cool it runs while still delivering sound that is every bit as refined (to my ears) as the more expensive and much more power hungry Onkyo.
But the main problem with this thing is the lousy user interface. I know that UI probably isn't your first concern when it comes to a receiver, but companies like Apple have raised the bar on this, and when you get a UI that would have been substandard in 1995 (no exaggeration), it's hard not to be disappointed.
The on-screen display is black-and-white, text-only, all caps and fixed width, and it FLICKERS to boot (on my 1080p display at least). There is no overlay, so no visual feedback when you change the volume, etc. The response time for changing inputs or connecting a camera is up to several seconds. The remote is especially difficult to program (for example, no LED to tell you when it's ready for...

Stay away from Pioneer
I bought this as a replacement for my old VSX-D309, and was very happy with it until it quit working roughly 80 days after purchasing it. The unit no longer sends any form of audio to the speakers yet still sends video to the tv (for those wondering i have checked all the settings including resetting it to factory defaults as well as checking all the connections). I called Pioneer who not only didnt seem surprised by the issue also didnt really seem to care about it, no questions about what happened or what i was doing when the problem started, nor did they offer any suggestions to try before telling me that it would have to be shipped in and expecting me to pay for shipping to have it repaired. After doing some checking around online i find im not the only one to have issues with Pioneer customer service and them selling what is imo a defective product, then forcing the consumer to spend more money to have the defective device fixed. I remember the days when Pioneer made a pretty...
Excellent Sound Quality. Very Outdated User Interface.
I bought this receiver along with Pioneer SP-BS41-LR bookshelf speakers, a Pioneer SP-C21 center channel speaker, and the Pioneer SW-8 Subwoofer. I have been very happy with the sound quality - it is excellent for both music and movies. As others have noted the user interface is not very good and very outdated.
Pros:
+ Excellent quality sound
+ Plenty of inputs
+ Automatic configuration with included microphone
Cons:
- Outdated user interface
- Not very intuitive - it takes reading the manual to figure out how to access a lot of the features
Performance:
In my opinion this is the most important thing to consider when buying a receiver - will it perform its function well? Will it sound good? This receiver is...
