Pioneer VSX-920-K
$399.00
Released May, 2010
The Pros:Analog RCA connection to HDMI upconversion is detailed and seamless. Many digital inputs and outputs, more than almost any user could use.
The Cons:The front cover of the USB port isn't attached, so there's a loose cover to keep track of when those slots are used. On-screen menu only works through analog connections. Often have to turn the volume up to be able to hear the details - low volume audio fidelity not great.
The VSX-920-K is a low-cost A/V receiver from Pioneer. Like the other receivers in this line, the VSX-920-K comes iPhone certified, which means that you can feed music or video from your iPhone into your home theater system.

With the addition of the $99 Pioneer AS-BT100 adapter, you can add Bluetooth A2DP support, as well. No matter the video source, the VSX-920-K has Anchor Bay HDMI video processing, so that the video will come through in 1080p. The four HDMI inputs on this receiver come 3D ready. The low-cost VSX-920-K is missing some of the features that can be found on its more expensive cousins, the VSX-1020-K and the VSX-1120-K.
