Pioneer slimline receiver
"Just 85 mm high and 317 mm deep, Pioneer Slim Receivers are designed to fit in any popular TV or home cinema rack."
5.1 receiver with ARC and 4 HDMI inputs.
The deal with the speaker pack is cheaper than buying just the receiver.
Small speakers, reasonable subwoofer: audiophiles will need to upgrade speakers.
Brought one for myself; playing around with settings but seems to work well (I am not an audiophile)

Does this work like a Hdmi switching box?
its an AV receiver - and has 4 hdmi inputs (so yep - will take 4)
Superb deal,
Just purchased this4x HDMI inputs, slim, fits on the media shelf too, and does ARC, so only 1 HDMI cable needed between it and the TV!
sounds so much better than my 7 year old sony / speaker comboARC?
Audio return channel
Audio Channel return is sweet
I went out today to buy a new amplifier primarily for this purpose
Your Bluray, PS3 dvd settop box plugs into the amplifier through HDMI
and one HDMI cable goes from the Amplifier to the TV
Enable ARC on the VSX-521 and on the TV that supports itIf i switch the TV on and watch regular freeview the audio flows backwards out of the TVs HDMI in (Amps HDMI Out)
likewise the functions integrated into the TV like internet, streaming and DLNA will also flow to the amp speakersTraditionally TV only let you use Optical out or analogue out meaning huge wads of cables and lack of support for numbers of multichannel audio formats
Cheap cheap cheap but sold out quickly
can still click and collect….
I decided to go to Chaddie and listen to the set myself before committing the money. The set looks good for the price but the sound quality is lower than average. No deal for me this time
What's the alternative in this price range?
Still some left here in Adelaide, in Elizabeth closing down store.
True, but that does not include the Bluray player.
A R C basically means you shove one cable between tv and amp.
The tv sends its audio back up the cable into the 'output' of the amp!
great deal
i just ordered one for pickup and pay!
I originally ignored this deal when I first came across it in their latest catalogue. Changed my mind after seeing it on OzB. For the price, it's a good replacement for my existing surround sound solution, adding HD codecs and multiple HDMI inputs. It doesn't have the other fancy stuff, but I think I could live with that. I do like how it's compact, and for a small room, more than adequate.
Thanks, OP!
It has just gone better for extra 50 bux, you get a blu-ray player perfect for me.
Price in title please. ($349)
