It's a good AV Receiver, but paired with the Harmony One Remote THERE ARE ISSUES July 18, 2010

I like my AV Receiver, it works really well. I like having all of the video inputs on my receiver because it reduces the amount of visible cords running to my TV (I live in an apartment with my TV mounted on the wall, I didn't cut holes in the wall to run the cords). The video on my TV is outstanding, which leads me to believe that the video processing card on the Receiver is very good.
Over all I'm very satisfied with this purchase, my only critique is that I have a Harmony One remote and the remote has some issue with selecting the correct inputs, i.e. when you press the button on the remote to set up your activity, it may select the right one but it could very likely switch to a different input right after the correct input has been selected. I've had a lot of issues with this, even though I'm using the IR Harmony One Data Base for ALL of the commands (which is recommended by the software and my myself, I had more issues using the learn IR capability).
Other than it's compatibility with the Harmony One I have no negative remarks.
For your reference I've attached the Harmony One Remote link:

 More Bang for the Buck in One Great Receiver July 12, 2010

I was looking to upgrade my 2-year old Pioneer Elite receiver and checking out the specs that would have cost me $1000. Then I looked at the regular Pioneer line and found that I could get most of the same features for about 1/2 of the price with the Pioneer VSX-1020-K! Yes, I know the Elite model has slightly better specs and a better power supply--but at twice the cost???
Others have commented on the great features of this receiver (Internet radio, iPhone support, MCACC, 6 HDMI ports, etc.) But the amazing thing is that you can get all these features for not more than a standard receiver.
Installation was simple--connect your speakers and your peripherals and then use the microphone included setup and follow the GUI instructions.
Did I mention that the VSX-1020-K has great sound? The rated 110 w/channel provided booming sound in my room.
The other bonus is that this receiver offers HDMI 1.4 support in case you want to upgrade to 3-D TV. Although this feature is not really that important in and of itself, it shows how Pioneer wants to be on top of the technology curve.
Only down side is that the remote is not ergonomic and has about 50 small buttons that are hard to figure out in the dark.
Check out the Pioneer VSX-1020-K for yourself. On top of the basics, you'll find that it has more options that you can imagine. Pioneer is truly giving you a lot of receiver for a modest amount of cash.
Improves More Than Just Sound July 2, 2010

I lean heavily on these reviews so I feel obligated to return the favor. There are plenty of reviews on here and other sites that tell you how great the features are (6 HDMI's,MCACC, iphone compatible, Zoning, etc) and how great the sound is, (it actually makes my entry level Sony's sound good). What I found to be the most surprising thing about this unit, the picture on my TV has improved, even my wife noticed it and she could care less about this stuff. TV is 1080i, which still gets a great picture, but the Pioneer has made it sharper and clearer, whether its cable or dvd. Even the Wii looks HDish now! Netflix thru the Wii gets up converted too. I love this thing. Pioneer made the best TV's, that race is over and they've moved on. These receivers are the next must have.

My setup is simple but this thing can handle soooooo much more than I need and it sounds amazing! Love the iOS app too, although the tilt controls are a little silly.
I'm using it with my old sony 'system-in-a-box' speakers and it sounds amazing, I never got this quality sound out of my old equipment. Can't wait to hook up some new speakers to this bad boy and get even better sound out.
The Internet Radio is kinda cool, although I'll probably never use it. This thing has so many inputs/outputs I feel sort of silly with my simple setup... Just XBox, Wii, Airport Express in and a single HDMI cable out to the TV.
Up-scaling the standard RCA video input is kind of nice too. Since I'm piping everything out with HDMI to the TV I get 1080 on everything and it looks pretty good.
Very happy that the menu system allows you to disable & rename all the different inputs. Makes things very easy to remember, especially using the iOS app since they show up that way on there as well.
The Mic provided for tuning was awesome. I've never heard a system sound so good, even with my crappy little speakers.
Very nice receiver.
HIGHLY recommend.
 Good sound but could have save some money June 30, 2010

I had the Pioneer VSX-1020-K for several weeks now. I purchased it based on the CNET review on the VSX-1019-K model. The sound quality is on par with my old Pioneer Elite unit. However, the radio reception on the VSX-1020 was really bad. I used the same antenna that was on my Elite unit but the signal was worse than a $50 radio. Also the little flap hiding the USB port could have been better made. It was never flush with the face of the unit. The Elite flip out door was sturdier and better looking. The internet radio did not work as I expected. Many of the stations I get on my PC does not work with the URL only receive mode. I still have not found any new station to put into the receiver. I felt I could have saved $100 going with a unit without this feature. Other than that it has worked well so far. If you are serious about this machine, ask yourself if you'd really need the internet radio function. The feature may sound cool but it's not worth the extra bucks, especially if you have a Wi-Fi Blu Ray player that can get Pandora or other internet radio. Check out the VSX-1019 for under $400 before putting your money on the 1020.
