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.
Pioneer VSX-832 5.1 Channel AV Receiver, Internet Radio, Black
- Excellent picture and sound, all features work but did need the firmware upgrade installing to get Dolby Atmos.
- Setup was easy and the remote is not overly cluttered with buttons.
- Good quality and features worth the money and a great update on my old Kenwood 5.1.
- Easy to use, very intuitive controls. Sound just blows my old Yamaha away. Awesome amount for features for the money!!

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.
Pioneer VSX-832 5.1 Channel AV Receiver, Internet Radio, Black
- Features like Bluetooth, WiFi, and 4K HDMI 2.2 works great.
- I enjoy the Wi-Fi connectivity, which was easy to set up.
- Bluetooth connectivity to my iphone & ipad and other devices works very good.
- No issues with connectivity to my wireless network hard drive, which has many videos and music on it.
- 4 HDMI inputs is more than enough for me. I mostly use with my Apple TV 4K and a PS/4 Pro.
