What is the difference between this Pioneer listed with bold "INVERTER" compared to the Pioneer ones listed on Amazon without this word?

Inverters have variable speed compressors. Standard systems have regular compressors.

It is a matter of choice. Inverters are more expensive but tend to be a little more efficient. Otherwise all functions and performance are same or similar.

An inverter compressor changes speed rather than going on and off, this saves energy as the start up of a regular compressor is where the most power is wasted, also they have a higher "seer" rating, the amount of power in to cooling (heating) out. That said they do cost more - I have one of each and would buy the inverter option over the standard one. Hope this helps EK.

You want the DC "Inverter". This is what makes these little units more efficient. The Inverter allows the AC to run at a range of speeds, and not just on and off like a regular AC system. It keeps room temperatures more comfortable while using less power.

Brian, I have no idea if there is any difference, as I have only experience with the "other" model. I just really like the one I bought from Amazon.

Same issue with the Pioneer FH-X700BT.......... original (and heavy) factory unit used the back support. Found no way to use the support supplied with this kit on the Pioneer. It is much lighter...but there is a heat sink right where the rear bracket should mount and no other obvious locations. The Pioneer is much lighter.... and the (very, very) limited installation instructions provided with the Pioneer did not mention the use of a rear support.

We have the powered speakers. There is a price difference, powered more expensive. The EV website has more info.

The Amazon listing is wrong. Also, it only has 1 component input and 1 composite input. (I have this model.) I submitted a product info update.

I had the same issue. Just out of warranty. Sent it to a Pioneer repair shop andthey told me $500 to replace a part. I trashed it and will never buy another.

I was sent a replacement from Pioneer. I assume all units shipping from Pioneer have been fixed. Other retailers may have older units and they may not be able to tell if they are fixed or not.

Get the Kicker subwoofer. I have heard both and the Pioneer is warmer but I blew two within a month. The power rating on this sub is extremely inflated. I know the Kicker will take abuse and come back for more.

this inverter is a under powered inverter. go with a aims inverter!! I picked up a pure sine wave aims inverter and have been loving it.

Its odd that what Pioneer told you works.It doesn't correspond with what the manual says at all.Are you guys connecting the sub with the subwoofer pre-out (LFE--sub with an amp) or are you connecting an unpowered sub with regular speaker wires?I have a powered subwoofer on the way. I guess I'll see if I have to do the same.

Performance wise exactly the same. One the 3500 just has HD radio an Xm radio. http://www.crutchfield.com/S-ZndGggohyaX/compare_130X2500BT_130X350BHS/Pioneer-AVH-X2500BT-vs-Pioneer-AVH-X3500BHS.html Chart on crutch-field explaining the differences

According to pioneer manual power is min 90W per channel with 8ohm measurered from 20-20kHz with .2%THD. By that token the total power consumption should be 90X7=630W but power consumption according to manul is 350W. How can tolal output power could be more than input power? I have old sony receiver which is weak in center and real channel power. So I wanted to make sure that is not the case with pioneer too. Denon states power consumption in Amps, 5.5A at 120V = 660W and this no is nearly equal to total output power 90*7. I dont know how pioneer distributes the power of 350W across various channels. have you OR anybody out there has heard and compared the two systems. OR Does it really matters if pioneer does not have 90*7 = 630W because what are the chance that sound is outputed from all the channels at the same time with same intensity. I do like the pioneer feature of ipod connectivity with included cable and play back of my camera images from the USB. Denon does not have the USB feature and for I pod you have to spend $ 100 more atleast.

Hi dave, if you haven't already, I would search on here and eBay for it. Between the two I rarely can't find something like that. If all else fails, I'm sure you could come up with something by emailing Pioneer. Good luck

He is correct. That's on the Pioneer website. Go to the page below and compare the 1018 to the 1019. i saw the same thing and was pretty puzzled by what was left off. The amp is rated at 10W less per channel, but that can't account for the 10lb difference. 33% weight reduction feels severe to me. My sense is that product is aiming down market.http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Products/HomeEntertainment/AV-Receivers/PioneerReceivers

I went on Walmart's site just now and I found the unit at the very bottom of the Pioneer 518 page. However they say they are not selling it online right now. Maybe there was a bit of trouble because the price was so low. Sorry to mislead you. They do have the 918 though for 238 which I bought and it sounds great. See you guys.
