It was only due to Divine Providence that I ended up with this receiver. A short in a speaker caused my existing Yamaha DSP A-1 to keep cutting off, prompting me to believe that the receiver was defective. While shopping for new receivers, I came across the Pioneer Elite brand. I was very impressed with the new features, new to me anyway. For example, Blue-Tooth control which allows me to connect my iPhone and iPad wirelessly and play music from my playlists. Nice Feature. The front dock for the iPad/iPhone is nice, but I would prefer that one existed in the back as well, to hide the cables. For those who can connect the unit directly to the Internet via Ethernet, you can download a Pioneer app that allows you to completely customize the sound, Bass/Treble/Fade, and even adjust the Surround to find your sweet spot by simply angling your iphone/iPad. The ability to connect via WIFI would have been preferable to me, as I can’t run an Ethernet line. The unit delivers nice sound. There are many presets for different Surround Options. It takes some time to figure out the unit. The manual is not great and could have been more intuitive. I do really like this receiver, however, for those who have a nice turntable and might be looking to dust off their old vinyl, NO PHONO INPUTS. What were they thinking? Good Power! Good Sound! Could have been a bit better…but well worth the money spent. Enjoy.Read full review
The Pioneer Elite VSX-33 is an excellent receiver. Hook up was easy. I hooked it up to KEF speakers in a 5.1 setup and it sounds great. Build quality is excellent. After watching a 3 hour movie, heat generation was not bad. I was leary about putting my Blu-Ray player on top of the reciever, but it seems to be doing well. I did make sure to leave about 1/3-1/2 of the top vents uncovered. The new remotes are as stylish as the Pioneer remotes from a few years ago, but it does seem a little bit easier to use. I haven't programmed my other components to the remote yet, so I don't have any opinion on that yet. The sound of the Elite VSX-33 is everything I'd expect from Pioneer. Clean, crisp, highs and wonderfully full Bass. Explosions and Bass lines were executed beatifully without clipping or any sound struggle. All in all, an excellent reciever. Well worth the few bones I laid out for it.Read full review
Pioneer Elite products withstand the test to time and music. Excellent build quality and stunning to look at. Has all the features you need and all obtained at a very fair price on Ebay. Pioneer Elite products beat the competiton and always seems to be on the cutting edge of having the latest technological advances out there.
