Pros & Cons

Yamaha RX-V383BL

VS

Pros

    • Great at all in movies, music, and games.
    • It has all popular decoders, including the Yamaha ones.
    • It has many settings for preferences.

Cons

    • Slow at loading when changing from one input to another.
    • Not powerful enough for the large room.

Pioneer VSX-532

VS

Pros

    • I am glad that built-in decoders play almost all of my files properly. It is 100% worth of its price.
    • The total power output is 210 Watts, which is enough for enjoying proper sounding in my living room.
    • Not very important, but anyway, it can be both auto/manually switched on.

Cons

    • It does not have auto power off, so it bothers me each time to turn it off manually.
    • For me not so important, but note that it does not have networking capabilities.
    • The main disadvantage for me is that it cannot be controlled via a smartphone.
