Good DA convert, so you only need a cheap DVD player with digital out put. Good radio. Basic setup is quite easy. | teleadreson.com/pool-design-of-austin,austin,-tx-HJ~PAByfjwA.html

Hi, its 2020. Back in 2000 i bought one of these new from a retailer. Cant remember what it cost me, maybe $500? I thrashed it! had 4 speakers running off it, had a computer with the best sound card i could find at the time and ran guitars and mics through it, drum programs from the computer, pushed it daily. It handled it. Had enough power to fill a large room with lads in it pushing instruments through it and voice and keyboard and drum synths. If i was on an off night and just playing youtube it pissed the neighbours off no probs. If you ever get a chance to get hold of one of these old rocks in good condition, dont hesitate. I found one recently off trade me and paid $117 for it, im listening to you tube through it right now. At low volume, hit super bass. Its nice thick sound, At full tit turn off super bass and tweek the bass knob a bit. Its an amp you'll have a funeral for when it finally dies.

Don't make the mistake of selling it like i did my first one.

Love this receiver. Bought the previous model first and loved it but then it broke after lots of moving to new apartments. Needed to find the exact one but I found this one, which is just a newer model than what I had and I am happy. For an older receiver this thing packs a punch. I've used a lot of receivers and this is high up there. I use it with a pair of Klipsch floor standing speakers and a vintage Sony cd player and listening to music is a different experience compared to others. I've used ally receivers on my Klipsch speakers but they don't sound as good as this pioneer.

No real weaknesses for me besides I wish there was a light on the volume knob so I could see it at night. But besides that, great receiver.

I bought this stereo along with a turntable from sears, with my first credit card, when I was a teenager.......I have been using regularly for more than 20 years now, have never had it maintenanced and it has served me SO well and strong! Only now is it starting to short out inside, so it may be on its way out, but it was well worth my teen foolish high interest investment haha. I’ll be very sad when it finally goes.

Not being a tech person, I’ve always found it a little hard to know what buttons to push to get it to do what I want haha, but that’s my own fault :)

I have owned one of these since 1997. I bought it brand new along with a Pioneer 35 disc CD player and a set of Bose 301 (v3). All of them are still going strong.

I bought this receiver on a limited budget back in 1997 and it has had up all these years. I never expected that. It's a good product. Plenty of power and used these things can be had for less ess than $40.00.

SX 255R I paid 50 nz dollars for it in 2013 cleaned outside and inside like new.Bass up half way and treble and sounds awesome! have two old 90s Jvc 3 way speakers on and it pumps loud.Be 20 year old amp n 2016 and bet it will go for another 20 unlike the amps of today poor quality and break down so I went back in time when sound quality was great and also when music was just about to get bad.

All of you who think this has no bass or muddied high notes either have a defective unit, improperly wired speakers, or junk speakers. I have hooked mine up to cheap rca brand speakers all the way up to vintage 15 inch fisher speakers and the high notes are clear, sharp and qualify for hearing damage unless a large room is used. The super bass will rattle small items off the shelves. Learn how to properly hook up and use good speakers and there is no way you could be disappointed with this unless you are used to listening to a dj system.

It turns on but the volume doesn't turn up like before,if I turn the knob all the way up you'll hear it but only if your next to it. Does anyone have any idea of what it could be?

My friend gave me this receiver as he no longer wanted it. Now I know why. I first took it because it looks very nice with my Pioneer CD changer since the colors match up and I love the amber display. But oh boy. This receiver is total garbage.

I set it up in my home office with the my Pioneer PD-F908 with a set of quality RCA cables.

It hurts my ears to listen to CDs through the receiver. MP3s on my laptop hooked up to some 2.1 speakers sound much much cleaner....which is a testament to the sound quality of this receiver. I have been dissapointed each time I've used this receiver.

To our "audiophile" Chuck, wattage does not equate to sound quality.... You can have a million watts, I'll stick to my Onkyo at 65 watts/channel.
