Pioneer VSX-534 5.2-Channel Home Audio Smart AV Receiver with HDR10 Support

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: Surround sound, at a reasonable price.
Everything I need, it turns on and off with the telly, auto detects the signal it is receiving Atmos, 5.1 Dolby, and plays the best. Easy to set up.

Harold M.: I have 4 × 12" bose speakers in my ceiling. I wasn't sure if it was strong enough but it sounds fantastic with Dolby atmosphere. The system just needs an hdmi cable so you can see the screen to complete the setup. After that can be audio only. There's talk about a firmware update with a USB. I said skip it as it's fantastic without it. Will work with 4 speakers, 5 speakers, 5 speakers and a sub woofer, 2 speakers. Very versatile. I am very happy with this system. Serious theater sound.

Lucky L. Knesal: I bought my first Pioneer AV Receiver 35 years ago when I was a kid in the Army. I put that thing through the ringer, moving it from place to place (changing duty stations), and place to place (different party locations), and played it as loud as the speakers would let me with out them sounding like crap. I put it through similar conditions once I got out for about two to three years as well until I calmed down.
When my original finally popped and died. I knew I was getting another!
Other than the subwoofer connection changing from wired to a plug, hook up has not changed a lot on the new one. I did enjoy the intuitive ease of the on screen set up. It might have helped that right after I ordered this unit, I down loaded a manual for it.
Twenty minutes of set up, four or five minutes of on screen set up, and it was up and running.
Yea the slow set up time, I am no where near as young as I was when I first got it.
Loving it's crisp clear sound with the new Pyle speakers that I ordered with it.

Kindle CustomerKindle Customer: I could not recommend more highly the two sound components that I purchased on Amazon for my home theater setup. The Klipsch 5.1.4 Dolby ATMOS speakers and Pioneer VSX-534 receiver perfectly harness the abundance of powerful Dolby platforms that are embedded into my new TCL 85-inch S-Class TV that I purchased at Best Buy. I paid $345 for the speakers, $330 for the receiver, and $899 for the TV. $1,574 total and it is phenomenal! (And I hung the speakers with Amazon’s VideoSecu speaker mounts for $24.99.)

Pay no attention to the reviewers who don’t get enough bass from the Subwoofer. They clearly don’t have the gain knob on the back of the subwoofer adjusted for the needs. It literally shakes our viewing room (and scares the crap out of our little dachshund!). Also, although I am a fan of Yamaha, I did not get their receiver because Dolby ATMOS is not built into their technology.

Installation was a breeze. At first, I followed Dolby’s guidelines of placing the front and rear speakers around 40-inches off the floor, but later moved the rear speakers to a higher position on the rear wall. The center speaker is below the TV on top of the receiver, and the...

Brian-B: Very happy with my purchase. Connected this to a pair of Klipsch bookshelf speakers, a Klipsch center channel speaker and a Jamo sub-woofer to improve the sound quality on our LG OLED TV. (Note: previously used a pair of powered bookshelf speakers along with the Jamo sub.)

Sound quality is good and also seems to do a reasonably good job of upconverting video inputs to 4k. Voice boost/improvement feature works really well, especially when a center channel speaker is used.

My only surprise after getting this, is that while it says Pioneer on it, it's clearly made by Onkyo. This is not a dealbreaker for me, as I also own a Onkyo receiver that I use in another room that I am very happy with.

Jeff Klumpp: Wow! Totally salified+ for the money. Now, I have an old Klipsch soundbar & Bluetooth woof I bought about 10 years ago for my TV. That still works & was well worth ~$100, but was the time in my life to upgrade, but not too expensive. I'm a former musician and a bit of a stickler for accurate sound representation. Happy with my old cheaper stuff, I ordered this system for $340.. It is awesome and accurate, full bass to crisp cymbals. Needed to combine it with a new sound system too, so I picked the Pioneer VSX-534 Home Audio w/Dolby 5.1.4 Surround at $350. So, for $790 (not $3 or $4K), this combo rocks the charts and more than salifies the ears without getting a mortgage. You need to tune it a bit top suit your ears, but from football to your favorite music, it'll more than do the job without breaking the bank.
Kudos to both Klipsch and Pioneer!

KAREN P: It would be nice if a list of compatible speakers was provided. I added Klipsch speakers for descent sound.

Gonz: Hasta ahora bien. La configuración básica es super rápida si ya se tiene todo listo (bocinas, conexiones, lugar, etc.). En menos de 5 minutos ya esta funcionando.
Ojo: El micrófono que se incluye para la configuración del aparato trae un cable muuuy delgado y muy largo, por lo que hay que tener cuidado al desempacarlo porque se tiene el riesgo que se enrede.
Puntos en contra: El tamaño, como todo A/V es grande, por lo que se debe tener un espacio suficiente y bien ventilado. Otro tema es que tiene un zumbido al estar encendido, que se disimula una vez que se esta escuchando alguna película. Y este perdura aún apagado el aparato por un tiempo.
