4.0 out of 5 stars Solid, feature rich and excellent video processing!, December 10, 2011

This review is from: Pioneer VSX-1121-K 7.1 Home Theater Receiver, Glossy Black (Electronics)
I pitted this AVR against a Denon AVR-2311CI. The Denon is a older model that is replaced by the 2312. In any case these 2 excel in different ways. First the pioneer, the video processing is a stand out!! With the Marvel video processing chip the HD on this was simply stellar! It made my old TV look as if I bought a new one. I had an Onkyo TX-SR605 before these two were brought in to test out. The Video on that old Onkyo doesnt do my TV justice. Not to mention I had issues with the HDMI on it several time. Onkyo packs lots of feature but that is where it stops. But back to the 1121, it is filled to the gills with features. I like the iControlAVS...fun, easy but doesnt do everything. The Apps are crude and need work. Pandora is hard to setup and the interface is not very pleasing. But it works and I do love internet radio. Power is excellent and plenty of it. The 1121 is also THX Select2 certified. So you get all the additional sound fields and the lucas seal of... Read more

This is an excellent overall receiver. The video and audio processing are wonderful and overall sound quality is crisp and clear. To those that are complaining about the difficulty in setting this receiver up....I don't know what to tell you, the GUI is easy to use and the MCACC makes things very simple with the included microphone. Okay, on to the nitty gritty.
The Looks of the receiver:
This is a large unit, seriously, make sure you have enough room in your entertainment center for this beast. I replaced a Denon AVR 588 with this unit. The Denon fit comfortably within my entertainment centers cabinet. This unit is so large I have very little room left on the bottom shelf of the cabinet. The exterior of the unit is very clean looking with the front door closed. It has a nice and clean look to it, nothing too fancy but very functional.

The performance: Video / Audio
Someone in an earlier review mentioned how great the video processing is on this... Read more

This is the first mid-range receiver I have owned and this beast does not disappoint. Hook up of 7.2 surround system was not difficult and the instructions were reasonably comprehensible. I used banana plugs with all applicable connections and 16 guage oxygen-free wire. Used Pioneer's MCACC automatic sound tuning system and this went much smoother than anticipated. Blu-ray movies played via my PS3 sound at least as good as in a theatre. Airplay feature is awesome as is the internet radio capability. PS3 and WII games look and sound fantastic. The video scaler can make regular DVD's look about 80-90% as good as Blu-ray movies. I am still learning the nuances of this device after a week and the more I learn, the more impressed I am with this receiver. Buttons are small on the remote and it takes some getting used to, but once familiar with it, the remote is quite functional. I cannot stress enough the importance of carefully reading the manual prior to, during, and after... Read more
