I am happy with my VSX-1020, I bought last summer, but the new features with the Pioneer VSX-1021-K were made available to resist. Thus, the scope of the 1020 demoted to stay. The Pioneer VSX-1021-K looks a lot like 1020, but it seems more “essential”. The two main buttons are larger and the face is thinner and more delicate, with a few buttons. The display features the Pioneer VSX-1021-K has a more light, but otherwise very similar. The number of configuration options is a bit ‘larger than Pioneer VSX-1021-K, with many other sub-menus, in which new options can be enabled or disabled. It also updates the firmware. The automatic calibration was similar to 1020 and after the elimination of annoying messages that say demo permanently on the screen during the first set in You do not need to play, the sound is excellent. I was very pleased with the 1020, which is much better than the Sony 910, which replaced, and I’m not a sound from the detailed plan. However, the tone of the receiver seems to be the new “complete”, but that could very well be my imagination …
And ‘if you have network-related functions that look really shines Pioneer VSX-1021-K. Internet radio interface provides access to thousands of radio stations, which ranks a number of criteria, including gender, country, etc. Very impressive. So if you want to listen to your favorite radio station in a European city dark, probably on the list. Well you can use the features of the screen to navigate through the endless list of stations well organized, when using the Pioneer VSX-1021-K animated iControlApp2 iPad.

The first iControlApp (used with 1020) was very limited in its capabilities and developed for the iPhone (not the IPAD). IControlApp2 On the other hand, is more comprehensive in its feature set and responsive, not only to set the receiver, but also to select options during the game, as the transition from Internet radio stations.
But how “cool” that is iControlApp2 is the “cool factor” for the use of the iPad, and iTunes with this receiver, which blows in 1020 actually are not only able to play music on my iPad wirelessly via Wi-Fi something that is simple to play and it works very well stored, but are also able to my iTunes library from my iMac to share the network, so that the IPAD to make it as convenient access to a shared library and select songs for playback on 1021 The receiver is activated automatically when playing a song from the IPAD, when configured for network access in standby mode. Geeky as it sounds, it’s easy, convenient and very powerful.
But, as impressive as the iControlApp2 present, there are many opportunities for improvement. We hope that Pioneer is to refine and release future updates. Also, I have some problem with the control via the HDMI output of this receiver with my 3D plasma. They are the same problems I had with my 1020, and could very well be a problem with my 3D TV or Blu-ray (also LG).
This receptor is highly recommended – you must use the extra money and by Pioneer VSX-1021-K instead of 1020? Now, if an iPad and use of reading in your iTunes library or if you plan to listen to a series of Internet radio stations, or if you have the ability to easily update the firmware you want, or if you want to check through a iPad application really “cool”, the answer is probably “yes.” Read more reviews
