my home theater setup with this receiver includes the ff: samsung 46" lcd tv, samsung bd-c6800, apple tv2, directv sat receiver, jbl es series speakers (es90 as fronts, es25c as center, es30 as surrounds and es250pwch as my wireless sub). in addition, im also using the icontrolav2 app for ipad2 and iphone 4s...GOT THIS AWESOME RECEIVER IN BB FOR 715$ and i was so happy with it...the first thing that i noticed was the loose power cord connected at the back of this receiver. luckily, i have a spared power cord from my old tv with the same specs and fits really tight...(possible hazard with loose connection such as this one)Upgrading from a very old pioneer receiver, this receiver does so many auto calibrations. After running the MDACC, the receiver's performance was really awesome...it took me a few days to get around and know the overwhelming parameters/settings/adjustments...i was able to program and consolidate all my remotes which includes the blu-ray player, the tv, the sat receiver and including the apple tv2 remote...the bad side though is on the remote, it is long and skinny and buttons are so compressed. it will be nice if pioneer makes it like a logitech harmony 1100 style and size...
The free app for ios devices is great. i was able to fully control this receiver on my ipad2 and iphones...even the interface is so neat. i really like the finger equalizer that allows me to customize and save my settings...coupled with the apple tv2, no need to go to my basement just to power it on so i could listen to the music files originating from my itunes library...
for extra info, the elite vsx-52 is the same as the pioneer vsx-1121. the 52s have black and gold interface while the 1121s have the black and white...this unit has an msrp of 900 while the 1121 has 800 but for the price that i paid for, it is an awesome deal...comparing the 52 with the 53, there's not much difference though....so paying up and extra 200$ isnt worth it.
i have auditioned the vsx-52 with multiple blu-ray movies that includes "the dark knight", "avatar", and even with "the police: certifiable in buenos aires". i was really impressed with power and clarity of the audio and video..i also listened to my music files which was ripped using apple lossless version and some protected aac formats and from dire straits to styx to lifehouse to linkin park, the audio was superb.
if you are buying this product, i would suggest to download the manual from pioneer's website so you'll get a heads up before getting the receiver. the installation process was a breeze since i used all hdmi connections.
overall, this elite vsx-52 receiver is a great buy. rich in features coupled with an outstanding audio and video processing outputs... automation, if you are planning to use this with your ios devices, was easy. you will have outstanding control while enjoying any of your favorite sources.
