This is an extremely nice receiver for the money. You can expect Pioneer quality in this receiver. I've owned 2 other Pioneer receivers and was sold on their quality and power. I also have a Pioneer A/V unit and speakers in my automobile. So as you can see I'm a Pioneer fan. There are better receivers out there but if you want a basic 5.1 receiver that has a few bells and whistles then this receiver is the one for you.
I wanted a basic receiver with HDMI functionality that would work with my PS3. I looked at the newer VSX919 and was set on that one but it was a little more expensive since it had a few more bells and whistles; more than I would actually use. The VSX918 still runs the newer codecs via PCM or "pass through" from my PS3. The price was also a big "plus". This receiver is extremely powerful and has a lot of options that can be configured if desired. It can be used as is out of the box with your speakers but the configuration will allow you to fine tune the sound.
The reciever is nicely built and is pretty heavy compared to the other Pioneer receivers I've owned. The sound quality paired with the Boston Acoustic MCS100 surround system is more than I could have dreamed. I'm throughly pleased with the purchase from 6ave. I do recommend this unit for anyone looking for a basic receiver or for one who is looking for a receiver that has HDMI capability along with many user defineable settings. This receiver definitely fit my needs as well as my budget. I can't recommend this receiver enough. If you're unsure about it please research it. I did and was pleased to find that I could save myself some money and still have a nice powerful receiver that met and exceeded my demands and expectations.
