Strengths: Nicely integrates with Elite PRO-110FD 50" plasma TV and will allow full integration to BDP-95FD Blu-ray with 1080p. The audio capability is great.
Weakness: The iPod menu display on the TV is very low resolution and archaic, however, it functions. Have some concern of burn-in on TV but can also control through the receiver without TV interface.
The key differentiator for me on the 94TXH versus the lower models was the ability to fully leverage the latest video and audio standards and full support of Blu-ray. The availability of 4 HDMI input ports will allow for expansion should new devices come into play. It was very easy to get the system set up initially, and I had phenomenal audio/video results upon powering up and syncing with the...
Strengths: Lots of Power. HDMI 1.3, lots of input. 1080P video upconversion via HDMI, Dolby True HD, 7.1 speakers, MCACC
Weakness: Yellow and not white display, not changable. on-screen menu kind of weak (480i)
My only complaint would be the color of the display is yellow, and my last pioneer was white so I guess I go used to the white and wish I could change the color of the display. Other then that this receiver rocks. I have it hooked up to a Blu-Ray and the sound and picture are increadable. My 1080P looks much better when the sound matches the beautiful pics from the Blu-Ray. I have it hooked up to...
Strengths: These guys were great every step of the way. They have great communication.
Weakness: none
The tuner is the best I've ever seen. pioneer Elite SC-25, but these guys went the extra mile to make things work. They had a flood in Los Angeles, and they were very good at communicating every step of the way. I am very satisfied, and would definitely order again.

The Pioneer Elite VSX-94TXH is one of four models of new Elite receivers released in 2007 including the VSX-90TXV, VSX-91TXH, and VSX-92TXH. The VSX-94TXH is a 7.1 channel receiver delivering 140 Watts of power to each of it 7 channels. Pioneer has caught up to its competition (see Onkyo TX-SR875 and the Denon AVR-3808CI) by including 4 HDMI 1.3a inputs with a built-in Faroudja DCDi video...

The last Pioneer receiver review I personally did was in 2005 on an entry-level product (the VSX-815) which struck me as a good balance between available features and power. It will seem pretty obvious when I say that this flagship Elite AV receiver product trumps my last experience by quite a bit. It also, however brings a certain amount of expectation. Being a top of the line model, the...

Almost Perfect
Strengths: This is a monster receiver if not the best in all. It has so many inputs. The sound quality is awesome with my Energy speakers. It works perfectly with my Blu-Ray, and DVD player.
Weakness: Ipod input was weak. I sometime has to disconnect and reconnect my iPod from the factory cable.
If you are getting this monster, i recommend that you need to buy a high quality HDMI cable. And of course, the adapter for the iPod. Other than that, this receiver is the best in it class.
