- died fast
hdmi audio went out completely during the break from 5.1 sound to stereo of a commercial.Just pop and gone...no more audio over hdmi.Only used it two months too.Should definitely be built better i would think.Guess its warranty service for me now...what a pain.

- Top Notch AVR for the money
I installed this receiver several weeks ago and I am very happy with it's performance and capabilities. Lot's of features and excellent sound and video qualities. Consulting the manual is essential. Pioneer customer service is helpful but not very competent. The Auto MCACC system made setting up my surround system very easy. So far I love this product from Pioneer and I got a very good price for it from Amazon ($548).

*** Updated information ***

I still give this receiver 5 stars across the board.we since set the front speakers to large instead of small and found that it does improve the sound in the upper bass and midrange giving it more warmth.It is definitely a fuller sound.

- Spectacular Home Theater receiver for the money
This product is a little misleading, because most online searches for it relate to Canadian forums and it is not listed directly on the Pioneer USA website (you have to search for the model number on their site).

The sound from the unit is great, even re-using speakers ... Read More

- Solid Investment
I just received my Pioneer VSX-9040 and hooked it up to my new Energy Take Classic mini-speakers and ESW-V8 subwoofer. I'm very pleased with this receiver. It's going to take me some time to dial in the sound the way I want it. The microphone calibration worked well, but I'm still tweeking with the sound and getting accustomed to the sound options and remote. I did a lot of research before this purchase. This unit is a diamond in the rough and well worth the money.
