Advanced Multichannel Stereophonic Concept

The VSX-47TX receiver is constructed with Pioneer’s industry-leading advanced multichannel stereophonic concept. This means it is designed to reproduce music and movie soundtracks as close as possible to the intentions of the producer during mastering. The receiver uses a revolutionary 3-D Frame Construction technique and a Symmetrical Power Train Design, with high-performance Advanced Direct Energy MOS-FET output devices, generating 160 watts (FTC, 6Ω ) of power for 7 independent channels. True 32-bit Twin Digital Signal Processing is used for ultra realistic sound.

Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration System (MCACC)

In order to make setting up as easy as possible for users we have created the MCACC system. This unique and convenient way of getting good surround sound from the receiver makes trouble-free set up a snap. With the microphone equipped remote control plugged into the front panel with the remote control cable the MCACC system creates a monitoring environment to establish the parameters of the sound for the specific room you are using. The MCACC system adjusts the parameters to establish excellent surround sound effects and offer you the best in home theater for the minimum of effort.

Universal Player Compatibility (DVD Audio)

This receiver incorporates the latest technology and is able to handle cutting edge audio formats, like DVD Audio and 96 kHz/24 bit processing which are just hitting the market. Its high compatibility offers a variety of inputs to decode all types of sources at the highest possible quality. The receiver’s multichannel input connections lets you hook up eight discrete channels of audio. It also has multichannel direct inputs and the ability to decode the cutting edge formats.

Next Generation THX Standards and New Digital Formats

The VSX-47TX is the first receiver in the world to be THX Ultra2 certified. Among the new THX technologies is ASA (Advanced Speaker Array), which can process any 5.1 channel source for 7.1 channel playback (THX Ultra2 Cinema and THX MusicMode), or 6.1 channel playback (THX Surround EX). THX Surround EX technology makes possible true playback of Dolby Digital Surround EX soundtracks. The VSX-47TX is also among the first generation of products able to play discs that feature high quality DTS 96/24 soundtracks. Naturally, you can also play all existing audio formats, including the recently developed Dolby Pro Logic II and DTS-ES Extended Surround formats. On the video side, the component video output is fully compatible with high definition, progressive-scan digital video (720p).
