I have a Pioneer TX-9100 with output on the rear for a scope. (vertical and horizontal). My question is what can I get to utilize this? An Oscilloscope (used ) or is it a special scope?
Thanks!

Any oscilloscope will provide a display of just how your tuner is performing with regard to channel separation (stereo), which is what those outputs were put there for. When a monaural signal is being reproduced, the 'scope will show a diagonal line - from lower left to upper right. When the signal is stereo, the diagonal line will "spread out" in response to just how different the left and right channels are from each other.
