What customers say about "Features"

Pioneer VSX-831 5.2 Network AV Receiver with Bluetooth - Black

The 4k upscaling actually makes a difference with resolutions less than 4k. I was surprised to see a difference.
It comes with MCACC room correction system and includes the calibration microphone.
The bonus is there is an app called icontrol and when your lazy you can configure volume and speaker personal volume with a touch of a button.
Love the acoustics auto tuning. Amazing 4K 60P switching for relatively little money.
A lot of audio features like Dolby Atmos is not added available to this device.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

Pioneer VSX-831 5.2 Network AV Receiver with Bluetooth - Black

Most impressive is the provision of six HDMI inputs, three of which offer 4K (60P) and HDCP 2.2 support.
Microphone sound set up is pretty easy. This also has a phono input - another nice feature.
A whole mountain of connectors, including 6 HDMI, 2 subwoofer outputs. Powerful and rich, detailed sound.
One of the minor negatives is apart from the headphone socket there is no other audio out.
Unhappily there are one optical input, often I need a couple of this.
