Hip Hip Hooray. Woodman has got it right. My first A/V DTS Reciever was a Pioneer. Then I decided I wanted 5.1 Channel RCA outputs so I could run my fronts through my stereo system. Ergo sell the Pioneer & buy the Yamaha RX-V800. To me Yamaha is head & shoulders above mid fi names like Sony Pioneer Marantz Denon Onkyo. When you get your hands on a Yamaha you will "feel" the difference. These things are built like tanks. Don't wuss out. Buy a RX-V2400 at minimum. Plus you get a remote included which will run all your components. I am liking the Marantz 8400 DVD player.
