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: A Sweet, Sweet Receiver - I am "old school" in my audio/video tastes -- I look for simplicity, reliability, and elegance in my components -- This Pioneer receiver fits the bill -- I simply cannot believe the sound clarity from this receiver which may have Onkyo internals -- Setup a snap -- Superior value.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many hdmi inputs does this unit have?**
A: Hello James, this receiver has four (4) HDMI inputs and one (1) HDMI output.  -  MM

**Q: I have 2 wireless surround speakers and 2 rear height speakers. 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.

### ⭐ Completely non-functional after 1 year - be careful
*by M***A on September 25, 2025*

We bought this in July 2024 for a gift given in August. We’ve bought many Pioneer products previously. It was lightly used for TV sound and occasional music. In August of 2025, it completely and suddenly died. After troubleshooting and reaching out to Pioneer, they explained the warranty expired in July 2025 and if we wanted to get it repaired, we’d need to find a service group and directed us to their website. The nearest center was 200 miles away and there was no further assistance that could be provided. We could pay for shipping to and from the nearest facility and pay for repair if we chose. Unfortunately, that will cost as much if not more than buying a new unit and I no longer have faith it will be reliable so we will move away from Pioneer. Sound was good. Reliability was not.
