The Pioneer VSX-519V
By Nathaniel Alden Studebaker
The Pioneer VSX-519V is an entry level 5.1 receiver made by Pioneer. Yet, don't let the fact that it is the cheapest 5.1 receiver they carry turn you away. This product has plenty bang for its buck. The receiver has an excellent build and a sleek look to it, but that is not all. The receiver has a plethura of connections ranging from hdmi, optical, digital coaxial, component, analog video, and of course and antenna hookup. The only hookup missing is s-video. The receiver handles video signals well. I cannot discern any degredation of video quality when compared to a direct video hookup to the television. Now moving onto the real reason someone would buy this, surround sound. This receiever can power my Bose Acoustimass Series I speaker system very well. It gets very loud and there are no signs of the speakers being underpowered. For volume control there is a knob on the right front side you can turn. The sound level ranges from 1 to 80. Which does strike me as a bit odd why only to eighty, why not a hundred instead? You can also adjust the volume with the included remote. The remote is very substantial and lets you control any and every setting the receiver has. The remote takes 2 AAA batteries to work; a pair is of course included. Functions, there are many effects and settings you can change on the receiver but most are uneeded and will most likely be overlooked. An example of these includes the settings for different types of music such as rock and classical. You are better off just leaving these options alone. However is you are interested the manual is very thorough and describes this receivers features in much greater detail. All you need to know is this receiver supports Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS, and Dolby Prologic II for your stereo encoded sources. When you play a DVD that supports say DTS the receiver will automatically detect this and switch to that setting. So for movies, television shows, videogames, and music this projector has it covered. However there are a few downsides. The receiver does not support HDMI passthrough for audio sources. This means you can't hook all your audio souces up and then run them through one HDMI and have it transfer all your audio signals through that one hdmi cable. Only more expensive receivers support this feature. It also has no upscaling feature, which is no surprise for a sub [...]receiver. And finally the reason I give it 4/5 stars instead of 5/5. The receiver is advertised as having 5x110 watts for a total of 550 watts and 110 watts per channel at an excellent .05% distortion level. This is not entirely true. While it may be true in some respects it is a bit deceiving. In the manual it states "continuous average power output of 80 watts* per channel, min., at 8 ohms, from 20Hz to 20 000hz with no more than 0.2%** total harmonic distortion. So it makes you wonder if you one can really trust wattage and distortion levels. It may be able to push a 110 watts a channel, but at continuous average power at 20hz-20,000hz with .05% distortion, it seems not. Anyway if you are looking for an entry-level home theatre receiver for your 5.1 system and are on a budget look no further.

Great sound, Multiple Features
By P. Chebib
The Pioneer VSX-519 is the entry level A/V receiver by pioneer, but this baby packs a lot of features and power for it's price.for the price, i do not think any other brand comes even close with some of their mid level receivers.i own the vsx 919 pioneer and i have to say the vsx 519 has the very similar sound, very pure and powerful. i use it with polk audio speakers, the sound is unbelleivable, the vsx919 has more decoder modes but for the every day music playing the vsx 519 does the same job, for half the price.it has only 2 hdmi passthrough not upscaling hdmi, not requiring digital audio input from coax or optical for movies and tv/sat. but the sound is just as powerful and has little or no distortion at high volumes.i have it connected to my desktop, and play music out of itunes, the sound is simply great, pure and powerful, appeases to the musical ears.got it on promotion at (...) for 169 free tax and shipping. can not be happier.here's the pro's and con's:Pro's:1- pure beuatiful sound, powerful, 0.05 % thd, true and tested. (8 Ohms).2- beuatiful, stylish piano balck finish, fits anywere in your audio/video rack stand.3- Runs cool, just give it enough space to breath.4- remote: small and controls all other components. very functional.5- manual: a must read, otherwise you get lost, past the basic set up.6- not using it for video, so i can not comment on picture quality.7- price, multiple decoder modes, for 5.1 surround setting or straight stereo. ( 2 Speakers or 2.1 Set up).8- cross over for sub, low at 50 hz, but for the all system,9- Advanced set up Feature comparable to my more expensive receivers, Pioneer, Yamaha, Onkyo, & Sony10- Dimmable display, for night use.11- Ample memories entries for tuner, auto seeking feature.12- Docks and plays Ipod/Iphone, without problems, through composite rca in. use a cheap kingston docker, for under $ 50.0013- Well Built, durable.Cons:1- Not a backlit remote.2- Manual is a must, even for the audio tech experts.3- only 1 coax and 2 optical digital audio inputs, but for the price, can not be too demanding.4- Spring connections for the surround and center chanel speaker, post binding only for front.All in all, excellent A/V reeiver for the price, excellent & powerfull sounds. Sounds better then my Yamaha and Onkyo, can be the center of your secondary HT and does that with grace,and ease. Powerfull 110 watts per channel. Get it while on promotion, you will not be disapointed.

By D. Jack
This is a good receiver if you own dvd player, but if you own a blu ray player this model cannot decode DDtruHD nor DTS Master Audio (This is the most common audio on blu ray movies) unless you have a BD player that can decode these types of audio codecs stay away from this receiver, But on the positive side this reciever gives you options like its other competitors don't.
