Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The VSX-D498 Dolby Digital receiver by Pioneer is a surround sound receiver that can easily serve as the centerpiece of a home theater system. The amplifier outputs 80 watts per channel across five channels to provide plenty of power for each speaker in your system. Four audio and four video inputs (with independent minidisc/tape and VCR inputs) leave plenty of room for adding on components, and three digital inputs give the receiver the ability to receive digital bit-stream signals from your DVD player. There is also one set of front audio-video inputs and separate subwoofer and center channel pre-outputs.

Key features include Dolby Digital decoding and digital signal processing with six simulated sound modes for the ultimate cinema audio reproduction. The midnight mode feature is convenient for automatically lowering the volume of loud cinema music and sound effects while emphasizing dialogue--a nice feature for enjoying your movie without disturbing others late at night.

Other convenient features include a 30-station-preset digital AM/FM tuner, a dimmer control for lowering the display brightness, and a full-function remote control.

The Pioneer VSX-D498 comes with a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

Look!!.......2001-09-28

i bought this same box a Sears for less than 220.00 a year ago
this is way over priced !

big digital box.......2001-03-22

Bought this receiver in august 2000 and have been loving it ever since. Great receiver for the dollar, decodes both dolby digital and pro logic. i hooked up all my electronics to it: playstation 2, dvd player, vcr, and 5 changer cd player and pumps out the sound on all excellently. Especially for the dvds(which is why i bought, for my home theater), it separates the 5.1 excellently, clear and crisp sound on all channels(particularly on the center channel which i know can get washed out from the other front speakers. Has alot of pre-set sound formats to enhance dvds, cds, tapes, etc. Has 2 optical outs(which im using both) and 1 coaxial(which i have yet to use). Over all, a really great digital receiver for someone who wants to get into home theater who is on a budget. My only real complaint is that you really have to crank up the volume to get loud(not deafing) audio. From 1(lowest) to 100(highest) i usually put mine up to 60 to 65 to listen to movies, somtimes even 75. Although the sound is still sharp and clean, and not distorted, if this receiver is placed in a large living room, i feel that it would not be enough to satisfy a crowd.
