 Overall good, but gets hot, remote doesn't control all devices August 25, 2008
We bought this to replace an old Pioneer receiver that was no longer working. It has the capability to be much more that what we need, so this is a limited review. It does get hot in our stereo cabinet when the glass door is closed if it is on for a few hours. I was disappointed with the remote. It will turn our non-Pioneer CD player on & off, but will not allow any other functions. Even to play a CD I have to go over to the unit and push the button. Also, we have a Pioneer duel cassette tape deck. The remote will not control that either. I was very disappointed with that since it is the same brand. That was one of the reasons I chose this item instead of another one, because it has a more comprehensive remote.

I'm very happy with this receiver, it has a lots of
power and sounds great through my JBL'S. I'm not even using
the surround sound capabilitys yet but just the stereo
mode sounds great with the CD's, DVD'S, and TV.
It looks great too with the blue lights.
pioneer receiver 7.1 February 20, 2008

4 out 5 stars- a good reciever for the price and $200 dollars cheaper than best buy. To save much time and aggravation however- please remember that you won't get sound with just the HDMI wire connection- you must add an audio (optical/ etc..) wire hook up as well.Pioneer VSX-917V-K Home Theater Receiver (Black)
Pass-through audio January 25, 2008
4 out of 7 found this review helpful
This is the most important thing you need to know about this receiver. If you are either hoping to have only one cable from your tv to your receiver -- or if you are planning on enjoying true 7.1 surround... this is not the receiver you want.
However, if you don't care about having to run a separate cable for audio or are perfectly content with 5.1 surround -- this is a nice unit. The microphone configured my speaker set-up beautifully, and breathed new life into my system.
My entire home theater is built around my gaming systems -- and the ps3 is the crown jewel. It pumps out the best video and the best audio... and it wasn't until I discovered this unit couldn't do linear 7.1 pcm because it only does pass-through audio via hdmi that I realised I had to send it back. There were also some small issues listening to SACD's over hdmi (although there is a separate multi-channel rig on the back... however it's analog and thus no cable exists for use with the ps3).
In conclusion, this is a good but limited system.
I had to return it, no audio through HDMI January 19, 2008

HDMI sounds like a great idea, a single cable that can support audio and video. The problems come when using devices like this one. This unit will not input audio through HDMI. It will pass audio though via HDMI, but that does not help. You must use additional audio cables with this receiver. I guess it's cheaper to build them that way. I returned this item for that one reason.
