make sure the seller provides you with all the numbers on the reciever- then call your satellite provider and they will let you know if you can use it- If you dont have a card its a $20.00 charge

xavier,I'm glad you got a kick out of that. I think my dry sense of humor is often lost on others.I wonder about these "guarantees". I seriously beat this subject to death w/ this guy at pioneer. I made him say, in several different ways, that the manufacturing of such a device in this country is illegal. So that means one of 3 things must be true: these guarantees are worthless, these particular DVD players have been illegally modified, or the guy I talked to was completely full of it.In my view, all are equally probable.

Don't know I had the reciever but sent it back. Never bought the Ranger dealer playing around went and bought a gator instead. Just sent it back looks like a quality item.

Leased unit. I have found over the years that these thing always fail at some point. So thats the way it is when there is no real competion in the market.

I just got mine today, I havent opened it up yet, but will tomorrow. I preordered directly from pioneer the day they sent out the emails. I got it for $549 and got the upgraded 2 days shipping for $20. Im replacing a onkyo tx sr-605 with this pioneer. I will give a small review tomorrow once I have it hooked up.

My understanding is that a certified pre-owned unit is one that was returned for some reason. It has been checked and certified by the seller as operational and (hopefully) without defects. If there are any defects like (once again hopefully) minor wear and tear then that should be stated in the description.

Mine was actually listed as used even though it had never been out of the original packaging. Vendor said they sold it as used so they could price it lower than Yamaha allows their dealers to sell new product.

You have to pay the service fee no matter who you buy it from. I purchased the unit because the dish units they install are not necessarily new and I went through 4 units from them, with varying results before I finally decided to buy my own equipment. I wanted to make sure I received a new one, with a warranty I could control.I purchased the units (Hopper w/Sling and Super Joey) from Amazon because they were brand new, and I paid less for both units than I would have paid Dish for just the Hopper w/Sling.

Yes Amazon is an authorized dealer. However as a current onkyo owner going through a warranty claim I would like to strongly suggest that you do not purchase an onkyo product. My receiver has been out for over a month and neither Onkyo nor the service center can give a crap about it. They do not even offer to expedite the shipping. Unfortunately Onkyo support is a joke. They have suggested that I should send my unit for repair without even trying to troubleshoot. They do not have advance RMA service. Their customer relations is also a big joke also. They just listen to what you have to say and initiate nothing to solve your problem. I have been told over one month for repair was unacceptable however they were not authorize to send my unit overnight. I have bought over 5 onkyo units for my various clients from amazon needless to say this is my final onkyo unit and I will be looking for a more professional company for my next unit.

Mine lasted less than a year and since I didn't buy from an authorized dealer, even though it was new, they did nothing for me. I will never buy another Onkyo product again.

I've never contacted a seller. I would suggest contacting someone at Amazon for inquires. You can call Onkyo for any questions about the product.

I don't think this can be answered properly here. This same unit could be sold as new, refubished or used by different Marketplace sellers, but these questions will be shared with all sellers of the same unit. If you look at "From These Sellers" the new, used and refurbished tabs are there to help you sort it out (if the refurbished tab doesn't appear, then none are being reported as refurbished by the sellers).

If it says sold by Amazon, and says new you should be okay. Sometimes these things are on special. Right now, that doesn't seem to be the case (I just checked the price).

No, your question came to me because I was "a person who has purchased this product in the past." Contact the seller!. I was just stating how my order came. I have nothing to do with the selling of this item!

Like much of the internet you get many wrong answers.I am an FCC license examiner and I am telling you there is NO part of the frequency spectrum this radio uses that does not require FCC approval to operate on.As one man stated you will receive hefty fines and your equipment will be confiscated when you are caught.And I do not mean hundreds of dollars it is thousands of dollars.

Don't spend a dime and your time with this receiver, I assumed loss. If you want, try to contact them http://www.ismartt.com/get-in-touch.html , if you are lucky they will response in about 5 days requesting stupid information and then they disappear.

Hi fellas! Quick question, is this a radio that a newbie would be able to learn to use, perhaps with a modest amount of instruction?If it is, Ed, would you like to sell yours? Thanks!
