We just installed one of these today ... It was a replacement for a VSX-54TXi that was having surround processing problems with a HD cable box ... Pioneer ate the difference in cost ... No more problems with the HD cable box ... New features include HDMI switching, XM ready and I-Pod 2 way interface ... Very slick new piece ... Thumbs up ... Although I haven't teamed it up with Crestron control yet, so we'll have to see how that goes ...

All the Elites I've done have no discrete surround modes. No way to put an audio source into 5 CH Stereo except by repeated button presses. Client ends up in stereo mode at times. Have they improved on the new receiver?

There is a list of IR and RS-232 codes now available online.

The model I found at the client's house was not listed online at Pioneer, and some of the other receivers I looked at in their database still did not have discretes for surround modes.
