Review on AV-receiver 5.1 Pioneer VSX-520 by Ha Joon

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The product is terrible, much below my expectations.

The manufacturer wanted to create a cheap and multifunctional receiver, only a cheap one turned out. Got pros: It is very convenient in adjusting the balance of acoustics directly from the remote control without entering the menu. it is also convenient that there is direct access to the timbres directly from the console. The sound is excellent. As a stereo amplifier for the money is quite suitable. the tuner is not bad, although the signal is good in the city so there is no problem with this. Cons below: Does not always immediately turn on the sound from the coaxial input. The declared formats are almost not recognized. The display is uninformative, does not highlight the format that is submitted to it. Automatic tuning is useless, when you try to tune again, it shows that the noise level in the room is exceeded and the test stops. Gave it back. They took it without talking, I took it in a reputable company (PET) and the staff, when explaining the problem, immediately understood what it was about. Used with acoustics DC Jamo S 418 HCS used multimedia player Iconbit HDS6L as a signal source

Some pros: Sound from HDMI. auto function speaker settings. Good sound. Its cons: The remote control is not very ergonomic, but it's more like an amateur

Plays great with a bunch of Wharfedale Vardus VR-400 + center + VR-300 on the rear and a Vardus VR-Sub 10 sub.

Got pros: Great for cinema. In 5.1 mode - fantastic. Its cons: The rear and front connectors are clips instead of screw ones.
