Overall Impression
The Pioneer VSX-934 is a 7.2-channel network AV receiver that draws frequent comparisons to other models in the Pioneer lineup, such as the VSX-933, as well as competing units like the Denon AVR-S650H and Yamaha RX-V4A. Commenters ask about its internal DAC, an AK4438 rated at 108dB, and about power capacitor capacitance, though Pioneer does not publish these specs directly. Questions also arise about per-channel power output, with some trying to reconcile the 135W spec against a stated 450W total across 7 channels. Buyers ask whether they can connect a TV, PlayStation, and Apple TV set-top box all via HDMI. One user reports that inserting a USB pen drive into the receiver results in nothing playing, suggesting a possible USB playback issue.
