Pioneer VSX-932

Excellent for the price – I have had this receiver for a number of years since it was first released and have not needed to change it or upgrade it yet, although this may change in the near future. It has performed reliably over this time and sounds good for the money spent. I purchased this unit from JB HiFi for about $999 so at the less expensive end of the home theater receiver price range. I have this set up in a 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos configuration with 2 speakers in the front high position. They can also be configured for rear highs which is my preference but I cannot do in my current set up. This amp is used everyday for normal TV viewing, movies and for gaming with my Xbox Series X. Here is the only reason I am likely to look at other options. As it is an older receiver it does not support higher frame rate video which my Xbox is able to output. At the moment I use 4k @ 60Hz which it handles fine. When I do upgrade I will likely replace with another Pioneer.

Im at the cinemas – This Pioneer VSX-932 receiver is fantastic to start off with. Now the system is 7.2 surround sound, however I am running it at 5.1 and too note it has Atmos however I haven't actually gotten around to buy some Atmos speakers yet so will be discussing the features this receiver gives leaving the Atmos part out, hoping that will change soon! The sound quality is fantastic, especially if you have decent speakers to go with the receiver, surround sound is great, with chromecast built into the receiver, I can enjoy streaming music or podcasts from my mobile device. The receiver itself is easy to set up, especially when you have it attached to your TV with a graphic user interface, it literally saves time compared to the older days when you relied upon seeing the LCD display on the receiver itself. I cannot find any faults with the Pioneer VSX-932 and the fact that it up-scales video content to 4k is brilliant, though you this really only applies to 1080 but in all you experience better quality picture upon all scales.

I bought this from JBHifif and was a good price, on special and it wont break your bank account, its a major improvement to my older receiver another pioneer btw and have been pleasantly surprised by it. I do not see input lag for visual display nor any lag in audio display to visual output and the only reason why I took 1 star away is that I feel the remote they supply could have been better, could have been Bluetooth signalling or similar rather than infra-red design, saves pointing the remote. It does have Bluetooth so you can use your phone where ever and I do believe you can sync up speakers for wireless connection.

If your looking for a great receiver that can produce great music and give you the latest in innovation without breaking your bank account, I do recommend this Pioneer VSX-932, but have good speakers. Pioneer is a great brand in home audio for many years
