Pioneer VSX-517
$200.00
Released January, 2007
The Pros:Plenty of connections for the average household. Very low price for a receiver, accessible for entry-level users. Great sound for movies and TV shows, makes dialog clear and detailed.
The Cons:Remote is a little complicated, takes some time to get used to it. FM station setup takes some time to figure out, unusually complicated.

It has a powerful 110 watts per channel, and a host of audio digital decoders such as Dolby® Digital EX, DTS-ES®, Dolby Pro-Logic IIx, and DTS 96/24 decoders.

It also features a new FreescaleTM 180 MIP Digital Signal Processor DSP.
