High-Performance Technologies for

Superior Sound Quality

Advanced Sound Retriever

Pioneer's latest A/V receivers feature the Advanced Sound Retriever, which significantly improves the sound quality of compressed audio — such as WMA, MPEG-4 AAC, and

MP3 — to the level of CD sound. The Advanced Sound Retriever creates new signals to restore the minor details left out during the compression process. The VSX-1019AH and VSX-919AH feature an Advanced Sound Retriever for multi-surround sound, which is compatible with DVD soundtrack such as Dolby Digital or DTS.

Auto Level Control

Auto Level Control equalises volume level differences between tracks when playing music from iPod or other sources. The Auto Level Control on the VSX-1019AH and VSX-919AH supports multi-channel playback, maintaining a consistent level even at low volumes.

New GUI (VSX-1019AH/VSX-919AH)

The GUI on the latest A/V receivers has been refined, resulting in enhanced ease-of-use. Each function has a dedicated GUI screen, displaying, for instance, iPod/iPhone data, speaker settings, or EQ adjustments.
