Customer Review: sirius hook up
I like the pioneer system I purchased. I need someone to tell me how you hooked up the sirius connection. I already called and have it turned on to sirius but need better reception. Does anyone know who I can call to install an outdoor home antenna?
Customer Review: Excellent Purchase
This receiver was perfect for what I needed. I noted older Pioneer models elsewhere for more than the Amazon price of this one. I am completely happy with this receiver and may actually buy a second one for the basement.

Customer Review: Nice kitchen counter TV
Got this as an open-box item through Warehouse Deals which worked out completely well. The TV has, as others noted, a good picture and unimpressive sound; plenty loud, but tinny. But for a kitchen counter, it works, it set up rapidly and looks good whether on or off. And in the DTV channel era now here, the set is finding some very interesting channels being delivered by cable that I hadn't seen before.
Customer Review: Great television for the money
We love this television--it has a great picture. We purchased it for our bedroom to use as our wakeup alarm. You can set the tv to come on at a certain time to a particular channel. Money well spent!
