1.0 out of 5 stars Frustratingly Difficult to Setup and Operate, June 16, 2008

This review is from: Pioneer VSX-817-S Home Theater Receiver (Silver) (Electronics)
Receiver needed to be hooked up to tv to set it up. Did that, but receiver remote needed a good two hours before it could be synchronized with tv to be able to choose setup menu options. It also needed a very long time before it could capture signal from cd and dvd player. This equipment is not user friendly and frustrating to operate. If it weren't a pain to return, it would have been on its way back to Amazon already. I'll give it a few more days to decide. I might just do that. It's just not worth it. I wonder if main reasons for steep discount from MSRP are customer complaints.
