🎧 Pioneer VSX-828 7.1 Channel AV Receiver Review

Its pros: 7 channels, nice design, remote control buttons glow in the dark, nice design Its cons: Confused settings The menu is like in the 80s, there is not enough black and white TV It's not always possible to connect an iPhone via cable No bluetooth One of the HDMI ports didn't work.

The model is very budgetary: functions are minimal, suitable only for use with simple acoustics. For example, to replace the "head" in the cinema out of the box. In general, it is quite on par with competitors in the price segment. Pros below: Seven amplification channels, bi-wire support - perhaps everything With its cons: The claimed capacity is questionable. I tried to use this receiver with Monitor Sound MR6 acoustics (named power 150 watts), it didn’t work out: no bass, no volume…

Great sound with a really wide range of settings. MCACC allows you to adjust everything in a couple of minutes, and for deeper calibration there is an equalizer and various sound modes that make it possible to adjust everything "for yourself". It plays all the necessary formats via LAN and USB, including FLAC, Apple Lossless, AIFF, WMA, etc. And in terms of video, the image quality is crystal clear, yet 4K is felt

I use the third year. With acoustics Pioneer S-ESR2TB 5.0 (S-ESR2-LR + S-EsR2CR). Satisfied to the point of exhaustion! I heard sounds that I have NEVER heard in compositions! At 70% volume, the neighbors cut off electricity. So far, without a subwoofer (enough . for now). My dream is to buy another such set of acoustics (all 9 speakers per room 17 sq. M.!), until my pension allows it. Advice of an old music lover: Take the receiver and acoustics of one (!) company. and then you won't have any…

Basically happy with the purchase. I liked the sound, the detail of the sound is at the level of . I set it up for a very long time, when I bought everything I connected it was upset, the sound was so terrible that I already wanted to carry it back, after I took the time to learn the instructions, the sound became juicy, the bass was elastic and powerful. The MCACC system did not help me in my case. At first I adjusted it with a microphone, the sound became flat, the bass was cut, the only…

I don't know about everyone. But I liked vsx 828. With regards to power. It is better to use acoustics no higher than 6 ohms. Since the receiver is set to 6 ohms by default. The more resistance is set in the receiver, the less power (indicated in the user manual). You want power. Turn off the surround channels in the receiver except for the fronts. Or connect a subwoofer (if you don't have enough bass). Or connect the receiver via an analog input, for example from a computer. This is the only…

in principle, it copes with its tasks, although I do not have a hearing, but it leaves a positive impression. It is good friends with APPLE products (it plays music well from iPhone and iPad) and it is more convenient to control it through the iPad application. Now, if the menu was more understandable in the receiver :) and not looking at the firmware, then you can put a solid 4+. At the beginning, I thought you could do without a subwoofer, but when using the receiver, I wanted to play bass as
