Give it a Break
rgriffin, why don't you just say what your trying to say. You aren't asking this info for a friend. You are hyping again. The Pioneer has two eq set up positions and the Yamaha has 1. There I did it for you. Do you feel better now that thats off your chest? The only problem with your little diatribe, is that the eq settings go out the window with 5 channel audio. DVD-a and SACD bypass all those settings, making them a little less important as you think. This is one feature that is nice, but it would also be nice to have PLIIx like the Yamahas do. I am sure "your friend" would like to know that also. Why don't you just get a job selling pioneers? You seem to be working overtime selling them for free. You have a case of Yamaha envy. Why, the Pioneer is just so pretty? Give it a break.
