Because of that girth, we were unable to just swap it out for our old receiver. At 17.16 by 6.6 by 14.27 inches, this is a big boy. While speakers and flat panels have been getting all of the oohs and aahs over the years, the VSX-821 certainly commands some attention.

It's important to note that if you do use the component or composite video inputs, you'll also need to connect the corresponding component or composite monitor output from the receiver to the TV as the VSX-821 does not convert these analog video signals to digital video for output over HDMI. Also very notable are the options for two component and five composite video sources, as well as AM/FM radio, Sirius Satellite Radio (with monthly service), and a front-panel iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad-compatible USB port. It can also take in signals from four of your favorite HDMI-capable components and dish out 3D video pass-through, standby pass-through, and even provide support for audio return channel. So while the VSX-821 won't stream music from three continents or power up other rooms or a party three blocks away, this receiver can crank 110 watts to each of its five channels. However, it does cover a little bit of everything, and does so at a very respectable list price: only $349. It doesn't have a lot of the bells and whistles that some of today's receivers have. Besides being a hub for all of your audio and video equipment, this component can decode all of today's high-definition lossless audio formats, such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio for the best audio experience in the home.Įven though it serves as the "brain" of your home's 5.1 channel home theater setup, the VSX-821 isn't exactly rocket science.
We all know (right?) the benefits of having an A/V receiver at this point.
It's sort of hard to look at something like that and get worked up the same way we'd look at Ryan Reynolds (or Mila Kunis for the fellas), but dang, if the Pioneer VSX-821 Receiver isn't one sexy beast. We have always found it a little bizarre when people in and around the consumer electronics industry have referred to a piece of electronics as "sexy." Most of the items are typically kind of boxy, and well.
