vs
Pioneer SX-10AE

Yamaha RX-V377 vs Pioneer SX-10AE comparison definitely makes sense.

Amplifier

A significant difference between the receivers in the number of channels, Yamaha RX-V377 has 5.1 versus 2.0 for Pioneer SX-10AE. Regarding power, then RX-V377 has such a W/Ohm ratio - 100/8, 135/6 when SX-10AE has a power of 45/8, 100/6. The THD is 0.09% for the RX-V377 but 0.08% for the SX-10AE. None of the models support Bi-amping. Each of the AV receivers can transmit an audio signal directly to the amplifier and bypasses any DSP processing.

Connectivity

Both models do not have WI-FI support. Only the SX-10AE has Bluetooth support. Each of these units does not support Apple Music. Competitors do not have built-in Spotify service.

Video features

HDR is not available on each model. Only the RX-V377 provides HDMI signal transmission in standby mode. Both competitors are not able to scale the HDMI signal. The HDR standard - Dolby Vision is not supported by these receivers. Only the RX-V377 supports HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC). Unfortunately, HDMI eARC is not available on monitored devices. Of the two receivers in our comparison, HDMI CEC is present in only the RX-V377. Receivers do not have a built-in phono stage for connecting a vinyl player. A voice control is not available. An ECO mode is only available for the RX-V377. The setup assistant will help you configure Yamaha RX-V377.

Multichannel surround

None of the rivals equipped with Dolby Atmos multichannel audio decoder. The receivers do not support the surround sound technology DTS:X.
