Beautiful Pioneer SX-D7000 Vintage Receiver
This is a stunning receiver with beautiful design
This would be a great center piece to our stereo system or it would be a nice addition to the collector
It is oversized and quite heavy
In 1980 Pioneer introduced the Pioneer SX-D7000 and made a statement that it was heading into the digital future. It’s similar in many ways to the SX-3900 except that Pioneer did away with nearly all of the knobs – replacing them with push buttons. There are no analog meter or dials either as Pioneer utilized their Fluroscan technology for the power meter and digital tuning display. The SX-D7000 retailed for about $800.
Aesthetically it’s a beautiful receiver. It has a modern, clean look to it and the symmetrical layout of the controls give it balance to the eye. It’s rated at 120 watts per channel and 0.005% total harmonic distortion.
The power output and tuning meters are Fluroscan and the Treble and Bass controls are adjusted via sliders with 11 click stops. The Adaptor switch allows the user to patch in a signal processor such as a graphic equalizer or reverb unit.
The SX-D7000 was the bigger brother to the Pioneer SX-D5000 and was slightly bigger and a little heavier. Pioneer also added a C speaker switch, Tone on/off control, a display dimmer and a second phono input. The SX-D7000 was one of the first receivers to incorporate a preamp section that could handle both a moving magnet and a moving coil cartridge. The user could switch between cartridges with the push of a button just to the right of the volume knob. Switching to the MC position boosts the phono gain by 20dB and reduces the impedance to 100 ohms.
This is an oversized receiver from the early 80's

Early 80's powerhouse receiver. Excellent all condition with some signs of its age but not bad at all. We tested speaker outputs A, B and C and all worked. When adjusting the volume, it was a bit scratchy but only when actually turning the volume knob. Once at a volume, the sound was just fine. We tested the following inputs, and all worked. Phono 1, Phono 2, Aux, Tape 1, Tape 2 and Adapter. The AM and FM tuners worked fine when testing. Auto and manual tuning also worked when testing. In our testing, it seems that just about all lights on the unit except for 1 worked. The only light that didn't light up was the FM input button. The button worked fine & FM was selected but it did not light up. The LEDs on the treble and bass sliders lit up fine. All in all, it is a very clean receiver, it produced great sound, it is in very good condition and from our testing, it worked great. It is a vintage receiver and therefore things can come up but we did give it a full test
Keep in mind that this is the testing we did and the results we found. This receiver is about 45 years old and other usage issues can be discovered. That said, it produced great audio from all the inputs and all 3 speaker outputs.
We spent time testing it and presented our findings
See the many images which are part of the description as well
