Again..no issues with any HDMI switching
No remote, calibration mic I would imagine
Both can probably be bought on Ebay and you can download the setup guide/manual from the company website

I would be getting this only to upgrade from 5.1.2 to 5.1.4 and for Dirac Live. So Dirac Live wouldn't be all that great after all due to the atmos height speakers and having 10 in total?
This is Pioneer's version of the 7100.
Unless you regularly listen at very high levels with very inefficient speakers, very unlikely you'll hear much audible differences especially for the price.
You get the exact same Dirac Live that is on the RZ50.

It will not use its sub/bass algorithm/software(Dirac Live Bass Control) to "correct" the sub.
It uses the AVRs bass management to do it.
Everyone in here finds no value in DLBC so that may not be of value to you.

Between that and the delay when switching between apps, youtube channels using an apple tv without earc, it's awful. I think the daughter board is crapping out. Just like ony Onkyo RZ 720 7.1 receiver and pioneer and Onkyo are the same product. This time I'm using my warranty even if I have to pay $100 bucks to ship it
Especially when everyone in the RZ50/7100/505/305 threads ALL say it's not needed.
Even in the RZ70/805 threads no one brings it up, all about benchmarks.
BTW to get it on those, it's gonna cost you about 6x this price AND $500 on top of that for it!!

Outside of Slick deals its a significant( relatively speaking) market..or so it seems
There are definitely people in the RZ70 threads, AVS, that have bought DLBC
I even saw a couple of buyers that bought it as a dedicated pre/pro and didnt even use its very capable amp section
But different markets have different expectations and pay a price accordingly
For example, there are people on AVS that obsess about products passing the Audio Science review testing
On Slick deals that's not really even a concern it seems

Personally, I find my current pioneer elite at 100 watts per channel to be a little bit limited in volume

was debating upgrading from onkyo which has shit net support and apps
sounds like this is just another headache and ill be out $350 + tons of time to resetup and plug stuff in

I haven't had any issues driving the JBL 590s 600 series or klipish RP series with this. Ears give up before the receiver running 9 channel stereo.
I dont think the receiver is great deal at MSRP but is a great value for 350.
