Product Description

It also features advanced surround processing, with DTS-ES Discrete, DTS 96/24, Dolby Digital EX, and Dolby Pro Logic IIx decoding. Pioneer's Digital Core Engine performs all digital signal processing with one powerful, compact circuit board, for a shorter signal path and less radiation.

The VSX-1016TX sends 120 watts of equal power to all seven channels. Our Advanced Direct Energy MOSFET discrete transistor amplifiers offer high-power drivability, ultra-efficient amplification, stable imaging, extremely low energy loss, and ultra linear ouput to all channels.

Great home theatre receiver for the price..........2007-06-12

Comparing to the alternatives you get a great one for the price. I had the 1015 for 3 years before I upgraded to this to get the HDMI plugs. I use it with 7.1 PolkAudio 7.1 speaker set and active subwoofer (400 watts). Drawbacks: If you use this for a home sound system where I have speakers in the ceilings in all of the main areas and the patio the receiver does not have speaker B outlet in the back and you have to use the rear surround speakers for that purpose (to run it through a speaker switch). The quality you get out mode B is not the same as what you get in Mode A and in mode B your Subwoofer does not work. Second issue is that you don't have on screen menus for set up that is useful for a theater room setup.

I paired this receiver with a Bose Acoustimass 10 speaker system for excellent sound performance. I especially like the MAcc feature for balancing speaker output levels.

Pioneer VSX-1016TXV-K 7.1 Channel Audio/Video Receiver.......2007-04-13

The best!!! I'm using it with a high-grade Polk surround speakers-the audio quality rocks!

No Surprises.......2007-04-06

Thus far I have been pleased with the receiver. It performs as expected.
However, I've not tried every function as yet. At some point we'll try HDMI.

Pioneer still has what it takes.......2007-04-06

I was trying to stay away from home theatre receivers but as things turned out I had to have one for Blu-Ray.For the money this is the best.I have no regrets about buying it.THX rated for under $500.00.What else can I say.Well it has 2 HDMI inputs and 1 HDMI output.This is great since my tv has only one HDMI input.It also has 2 fibre optic inputs and one fibre optic output.This is good news for my CD recorder and my PS3.Again for the money one cannot go wrong.
Maybe the remote is a little confusing but in time I am sure even I will figure it out.If you are on the fence about buying it,I am sure you will not be disapointed.Just don't compare it to the Pioneer Elite or the top of the line Denon because that would not be fair.Stay with the price point and you will like it.
