If I purchase this through Amazon.com are you an authorized Pioneer retailer thus all warranties are fully valid?

I was wondering that myself so I went to Pioneer's website and called them to get the answer. I found out that nobody is authorized to sell Pioneer Elite products online even authorized Pioneer dealers. Elite products can only be sold in a store and not online. Any Elite product that is sold online won't have a warranty. This is why I went to Best Buy and bought it right from the store.

That probably why they offer the Square Trade warranty, get $2yrs (Same as Elite warranty) for under $60, probably still come well under most Brick & Mortar stores...

I don't know if it is right in every case or not, but generally unless explicitly instructed otherwise, I do not register products for the warranty when I make a purchase. If I need warranty service I just produce a proof of purchase. Usually, registering just seems to get me more information than I really want from the manufacturer. Sometimes, the exception can be for something that may be getting a software upgrade in the future and you must be registered for them to know who to send the notice of upgrade to. I purchased the same Pioneer amp as you are considering. Did not register.

Any product that is fulfilled by Amazon is authentic, but as another commenter pointed out, warranties may or may not be applicable. Always check warranty status before buying!

Only if you purchased it from Pioneer or one of their authorized dealers. You can still register it with them, but they will not honer the warranty.

I purchaed this warranty as well and recently had to use it. As long has you have your receipt it will be fine. And of course the great thing about Amazon is that you always have access to your original receipt. They are handling my issue now and I found the service to be excellent.

I simply relied upon the basic amazon warranty. Check the website for terms. & conditions. Amazon took product back and gave me 100% refund credit.

I don't know you would probably need to check with the direct buyer... I purchased direct from Amazon.com who is a more reliable company when it comes to warranties

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.

No they honor the warranty on Amazon too. They are way better then the people at Cardo.

I had no warrantee inside the box. I registered it with Sony, but they didn't ask for serial number so don't know if it's legitimate.

I got mine installed at best buy, they are authorized, warranty remains valid.

It's supposed to be genuine. I'd order from amazon directly to avoid getting scammed.

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

the only thing that stinks is that Pioneer will NOT honor the warranty if you buy online. You'd have to order buy phone and from one of these dealers. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/FindStore/Pioneer+Home+Audio+Video+Authorized+Internet+Dealers

Yes, it is 100% authentic and new from manufacturer. I cannot answer about the validity of the warranty since I never asked or checked.

There is a two year warranty on pioneer elite receivers but their website specifically states that the warranty is only honored and offered through authorized dealers--most online dealers are not authorized unless they are the ones charging full price (best buy, abt, crutchfield, etc...). Fairtrade warranties also do not apply and are refunded at time of purchase from unauthorized internet sellers. Be careful if the warranty means anything to you. Hardly any will have problems until after the warranty expires (which is how companies design things to be profitable--just make it last till the end of the warranty) so I would probably buy one and take the risk, but to each his own.

Well, Amazon is an authorized dealer according to the Rokinon's authorized dealers list, so yes. It's a one year warranty from the day you purchase it.
