Customer Review
I've had this receiver for about two months & I love it. I originally purchased the VSX-819. I returned the 819 to get the extra features of the 1019. Namely the video upscaling. Without the video upscaling, I had to use both the HDMI & Component outputs to my TV. That became a hassle. I run a Comcast HD DVR, Samsung Blu-Ray, XBox 360, Nintendo Wii & a Samsung UN55B8000 LED LCD. With the 1019 I only need to run one HDMI out from the receiver to the TV.
The Ipod capabilities are great. The on-screen guide is color & navigating is almost identical to the Ipod itself. The Ipod guide on the 1019 is much better than the 819.
I am very happy with the sound quality & power, but I am still running a fairly cheap, Kenwood 5.1 Surround Sound system that does not do the receiver justice. I hope to upgrade in the near future.
I read a lot of reviews that stated the heat output on the 1019 was extreme. I keep all my components in an enclosed TV stand. Also, my receiver & my comcast box (a fairly warm running component) are on the same side. It is definitely warm when I open the door (& the top of the 1019 is hot to the touch), but it seems normal with other receivers I've owned.
Good sound, but cheap and horribly designed - Nolan D. Boyle - moscow, id usa
The receiver is all around made from cheap materials. Connections feel thin and the volume knob feels flimsy (I do not expect this receiver to last more than a few years). The poorly designed remote is extremely difficult to handle. The user is not able to change songs and adjust the volume without using two hands. Menus are painful to interpret and access. Comparable Onkyo receivers are far more user friendly. The sound quality is better than my Onkyo tx-sr605 receiver (but the Onkyo is miles ahead on everything else), but not nearly as good as my Yamaha RX-797. Stay clear of this receiver.
FLAWED- LOSES DOLBY PRO LOGIC AUDIO AT TIMES - Robert Sabonjian - Waukegan, IL United States
At first it worked fine, then when switching between channels on Direct TV that have Dolby Digital to Dolby Pro Logic the sound vanishes and so does the video at times. Requires a power off or switching to an unused HDMI input then back to get the sound. Pioneer is aware of the problem but has no fixes in mind. I will be returning mine.
