Review: So far, so good... - I've had this unit hooked up for about a month now. Took a month or so after receiving it to get it hooked up, but I digress... Anyway, I bought it to replace a Yamaha receiver from 2005. That receiver came out a year or two before HDMI became the standard digital hook up. In fact, remember the DVI hook ups that came out before that that didn't even have sound transmission within the cord? Well, this old receiver could do uncompressed audio, such as DolbyTrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, but only thru the analog RCA hookups. I tried and used that early on, but it lacked punch for some reason. I read somewhere that the receiver lowers the LFE channel output whenever you run it that way. So I quit that and just ran my Blu-ray audio thru the fiber optic line. Of course you can't get uncompressed audio thru those so for the last 14 years or so (I upgraded to Blu-ray in 2009, iirc) I have only been hearing lossy audio on my Blus. Well, wow...now that I have this new Pioneer unit, paired with a new Sony 4K player (this was the reason for the upgrade of the receiver...my old Oppo BDP-103 laser eye died on me about 2 months before this post), I am finally able to enjoy all the high end audio codecs the way they were meant to sound. I also had to buy a new powered sub as most receivers require that now. (The Yamaha's sub was powered thru the receiver.) The new sub is a 150W total power Sony sub with additional speaker hook ups of its own. And oh man, it's much better than my old sub. It's crisp and it puts out precise bass in whatever it's trying to do. But anyway, enough about all that. How's this Pioneer receiver Amp? Well, like the title says...so far, so good. I've got it hooked up to my TV with just the HDMI ARC input/output. The only things I have hooked to the receiver is the previously mentioned Sony 4K player, and a DISH Joey, which I rarely use, but just for a little bit of morning news and some History Channel shows. What I like about the receiver and the ARC channel input is that it automatically detects whatever device that's sending AV signals. To switch to my player, all I have to do is hit Play on the remote. Automatically switches to the BD/DVD input. If I select a Smart App on my TV, if Automatically switches to the TV input via the ARC. However, for it to automatically detect the satellite receiver, it has to be on, and not in stand-by mode. And even then, I may have to manually cycle between the TV and Cable/Sat inputs on the remote for it to pick up the Sat output. Weird if ask me. Problem is that I used to have the DISH input shown as an "App" on the TV and could select it with my TV remote. Now because I'm running the ARC mode, it's not there as everything is run thru the receiver. Now then, about the sound quality. Well, once you figure out all the different listening modes, it's pretty damn good. For regular DTS HD-MA tracks, you can select DTS: Neural: X and DTS Virtual: X, and it'll give you pseudo Dolby Atmos if you have the "Virtual Speaker" setting turned on in the main menu. It will create a more expansive sound field than your standard DTS HD-MA track, especially if it's front heavy. I think it loses a tiny bit of LFE punch when you do that, but not much. I'm currently watching the newly released "The Expanse" Complete Series blu-ray set and setting it to DTS Virtual: X sure does make a difference, as the regular DTS HD - MA track is a bit front heavy. Those extra surround bits always help to immerse you in the on screen action. Now then, the Dolby Atmos stuff...WOW... even with my standard 5.1 speaker set-up, the sound field is just incredible. Was watching the SW:TPM and the Pod Race and final Duel of Fates scenes were extremely satisfying from the 4K disc. The Duel of Fates fight still holds up today, especially with Dolby Atmos backing. The sabers sound like they're twirling all around you. And Darth Maul never looked better in 4K. Awesome detail in his face. Watched my standard Saving Private Ryan blu-ray with just DTS-HD MA and even it sounded great. Heard things in it that I haven't heard since I saw it in theaters in 1998. Top Gun: Maverick and Mad Max: Fury Road with their Dolby Atmos tracks were also very incredible. So yeah, if you're looking for a good 4K compatible receiver with all the new sound codecs, this is a good one if 100W per channel works for you. Review: Awesome Receiver at an Awesome Price - I wanted to test this receiver out for a while before submitting a review. I have to say I am very happy with this Pioneer. For $199.99, this was a great upgrade to my old Kenwood 5.1 that did not support DTS, which replaced a slightly newer Yamaha that bit the dust after a power surge. I'm no audiophile, but I do appreciate receivers that can belt out music and a blu-ray cleanly with no distortion. This receiver delivers on both fronts. Older and newer CDs come through crisp and crystal clear. Movies boom through my subs while the dialog is still clear. Just remember to visit the Pioneer website and download the latest firmware update to a thumb drive and place in the USB slot on the rear, which is a minor incovenience (I wish they placed a second USB slot on the front for quicker, more convenient firmware updates and simple MP3 player plugin) but not enough to deduct any stars. Follow the instructions carefully on updating the firmware. One step requires you to turn off HDMI ARC for the updating process, but their website gives more details on the steps. Most audiophiles probably have separate components to satisfy their home theater or stereo needs, but if you need a receiver in a pinch, this Pioneer delivers and is well worth the money. I also invested in a couple of AC Infinity fans to put on top to help keep the receiver cool. That previous Yamaha I owned got really hot enough to fry an egg! So, I'm taking no chances with this one. Edit: So, I bought an LG UBK80 4k blu-ray player, and I must say this application is where this receiver shines. I watch Ex Machina with the DTS-X track and the sound was immersive with crystal clear dialogue and booming lows of the soundtrack. Then, I watched Aquaman 4k with the Dolby Atmos track, and the explosions boomed. When Aquaman and the other Atlanteans shot off in the ocean, my room shook. I am using a Sony sub and a Yamaha sub with a Yamaha center, Polk fronts, and Bose surround. Bargain stuff but this receiver made everything shine. I could tell for once that I actually had surround speakers. March 26, 2023: Yeah, the receiver is still going strong. The fans drawing heat away from receiver seems to extend its life. There is a little bit of delay when the audio tracks change, but it's a minor annoyance. I keep looking to see if there is any reason to upgrade, but with prices being what they are, and the fact the receiver is still performing, I'm keeping everything as is for now. Not bad for $199.99. (Can't believe it's selling for over $300.00 now). ## Features - DTS:X PLAYBACK.

Will this work!** A: Hello! the VSX-534 cannot transmit wireless audio signals. Its height and surround speaker terminals are shared which means you must choose whether you want to connect height or surround speakers. They cannot be connected at the same time. -PK **Q: Will the presets allow for different rear speaker levels relative to front speaker level to just boost rear speaker volume from one preset to another?** A: you can set gains for all speakers. i have my back two speakers at +1.5db and front two at 0.0, my back two speakers are not as powerfull as my front so i upped the gain on the back two a tad to compensate the volume to the front so they sound the same as my fronts. **Q: Can I run 7.1 speakers on this?** A: No, this is for a 5.1 setup. There is no output for the side speakers needed for 7.1. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So far, so good... *by R***X on December 1, 2023* I've had this unit hooked up for about a month now.

I quickly found the only instructions come through the TV screen (ok, normal). There were details not found in those instructions, like details found on lower remote buttons that take you through options for set up and finding what my personal preferences were/are. Once all that was figured out it became very simple to complete my preferred set up for every day use. The sound is perfect for my liking with my 5.1 surround Kilipsh speaker set up I’ve had for those 8 years, and we’ll beyond in my prior home they were used in. The first movie my wife & I watched was β€œDevotion” (the true war movie), and it was so realistic sound wise it put me right in the war zone action. My live Classic Rock DVD’s sound as they were intended as well. Just perfect music split up throughout the 6 speaker system that keep me listening with full pleasure as intended. Great results that were exactly what I hoped I was purchasing through Amazon, with a better price than I could find elsewhere. I just hope it’s life span is better than Dennon. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pioneer VSX-534 Home Audio Smart AV Receiver 5.2-Ch HDR10, Dolby Vision, Atmos and Virtual Enabled with 4K and Bluetooth - FosPower Banana Plugs 12 Pairs / 24 pcs, Closed Screw 24K Gold Plated Speaker Plug Connectors for Speaker Wire, Wall Plate, Home Theater, Audio/Video Receiver, Amplifiers and Sound Systems - Amazon Basics Speaker Cable, Easy Assembly, 16-Gauge, Bronze, 100 ft --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/111012426-vsx-534-home-audio-smart-av-receiver-5-2-ch](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/111012426-vsx-534-home-audio-smart-av-receiver-5-2-ch) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-21*
