"While They Last" it says above. What is Pioneer replacing the SE-DIR800C with?

Well i am wondering the same thing too. They seem to have replacement models on the Japanese pioneer website, but who knows if we are getting em here in the US. Seeing as how your post was almost a year ago, i guess its a safe bet to say that we may not be.

There is a long thread in avsforum about this receiver. They talk about a possible recall. According to what I have read there, Pioneer says there is no recall. There is a firmware update which should be downloaded, however.The product page has a link to the firmware update:http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Home/AV-Receivers/Pioneer+Receivers/VSX-1021-K

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.

I would assume Pioneer did not change this for the newer 150 but not having a 150, I cannot confirm or deny with certainty.

Go to www.highseer.com. I think it can help. By the way, my new pioneer mini-split works great. East installion.

I've never used the pioneer, I've always been a kenwood fan, but I do suggest getting the new DNN991 over last years model.

The only other place I was able to find pioneer mic's was their website. There costly and they stop making older models like the one my home theater uses. But the one on Amazon worked for mine, even though it not the right model mine uses

Remarkably, the Owners Manual does not state the Warranty. I suspect it's a 1-Year Warranty from Purchase Date. The Manual refers all other questions to Pioneer (USA) at (800) 421-1404. FWIW I bought 4 of these in 2012 and so far 3 have been given out as gifts and work great. I will hook mine up this weekend. I hope this helps!

Good question. I'm unsure, try calling pioneer to better answer your question. Sorry I couldn't help.

I too am considering these two recievers and i have for quite a while. Im leaning towards the Pioneer for the simple fact it comes with the ipod cable. Although i think the onkyo has a 2 yr warranty and pioneer doesnt.

There has been some confusion regarding warranty coverage for Pioneer receivers purchased on the web. Elite models are NOT covered. Non -Elite are. Amazon is an authorized reseller (for non-Elite products) http://www.pioneerusa.com/PUSA/FindStore/Pioneer+Home+Audio+Video+Authorized+Internet+Dealers.Just purchased the 9040 - looks like a great unit at a great price. The Eliite equivalent is $200 more.Vito

I was wondering the same thing. I did a line by line comparison of the specs from the Pioneer site and noticed very minor differences between the two. It could be that other than for an extra connector or two they are the same under the cover.

As far as I know it is a Pioneer. I had it installed last June and it is working fine.

I replaced one that lasted about 20 years. With most stuff it's built in obsolescence. But not with the Walkman

I have been using Elite A/V receivers for many years and recently needed to replace an older one - so I decided to buy the SC-75 here from Amazon. HOWEVER - Pioneer will not honor its warranty for any Elite products purchased over the internet - including Amazon. See Pioneer's caveat about this here: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Where-To-Buy/Pioneer+Home+Audio+Video+Authorized+Internet+Dealers?appInstanceName=default Pioneer says, "Pioneer does NOT authorize any dealers to sell Elite-branded products on the Internet (only in-store sales are permitted). Therefore, any Elite-branded product purchased on the Internet does NOT carry the Pioneer manufacturer's limited warranty and does not qualify for any manufacturer's rebate." So when I researched this product fully I found out that I could buy this from my local Elite dealer for $1,699 + tax, and I would get the standard Pioneer Elite 2-year limited warranty. Instead, I decided to buy the SC-75 here on Amazon for $1,229.00, and also purchase the 4-year "SquareTrade" A/V protection warranty ($1,000 - 1250) for an extra $114 (they cover the unit for 4-years, and will repair or replace it in something like 5 business days). So hopefully I made the right decision - I will pay less than buying at my local Elite dealer, AND I will get protection for 4 years instead of 2 years. You can read about the SquareTrade warranty here, it seems to be highly rated (hopefully I made the correct decision!): http://www.amazon.com/SquareTrade-4-Year-Home-Protection-1000-1250/dp/B008I64OU0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1389814956&sr=8-2&keywords=SquareTrade+4-Year+Home+AV+%28%241000%29

I have not looked at the spec but, the SC-72 is an Elite receiver and SC-1323-K isn't. Pioneer provides one extra year of warranty for Elite products.
