My honest vote and reasoning behind my decision
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.
The Pioneer VSX-1016TXV offers formidable home-theater sound and a solid feature set for a midrange A/V receiver, with only its minimalist HDMI features falling short.
What I liked about this receiver was that that it is affordable for a THX Select 2-certified 7.1-channel A/V receiver offers switching for two HDMI sources, XM Satellite Radio capability with XM HD Surround, an accurate autosetup system, and an optional iPod dock. Also, you can configure the receiver to biamplify compatible front speakers.
What I didn't like about this receiver was that the HDMI switching is for video only, which means you'll have to hook up audio cables as well. Additionally, the receiver won't convert composite, S-Video or component-video sources to HDMI output, and the onscreen menu display doesn't work via HDMI.
If I were to rate this receiver on a 1 - 10 scale, I would give it a 10 (yes, even though it has things I don't like)
