Our verdict

A basic surround AV receiver for a simple surround setup with an older TV or a single HDMI source. One HDMI port and no listed streaming or Atmos support make it limited for modern home theaters.

Overview

A den or bedroom home theater built from passive speakers suits this Pioneer receiver, a surround model that powers five speakers and a subwoofer output. It has a radio tuner, an equalizer and an infrared remote.

It brings surround sound to passive speakers at modest power. Connectivity is thin by modern standards, with a single HDMI port.

Who it's for

Basic surround setups and secondary rooms are its fit. Modern home theaters with many consoles and streamers need more inputs.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Powers a full 5.1 setup
  • Built-in FM and MW tuner
Cons
  • Only one HDMI port
  • No Atmos or streaming listed
  • Modest power for large rooms

Performance notes

Power per channel suits medium rooms with efficient speakers. Speaker impedance should match the rated load. The single HDMI input limits switching, so other sources must use RCA.
