Features

High Quality, Balanced Multichannel Design

The VSX-43TX receiver is constructed with Pioneer’s industry-leading advanced and well balanced multichannel 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 100 watts of power for 7 independent channels.

Multichannel Acoustic Calibration EQ 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. The MCACC system creates a monitoring environment to establish the parameters of the sound in regards to each speaker for the specific room you are using. The Acoustic Calibration EQ feature makes sure each speaker is used to maximum effect in conjunction with the overall sound. The resulting settings finely attune the overall surround sound for the space used.

Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES, DTS 96/24 and the Latest Audio and Video Formats

The VSX-43TX is equipped with Dolby Digital EX decoding, the very latest Dolby Digital contribution to home theater with surround back speakers in addition to surround speakers. These additional speakers make home theater even more realistic and powerful. 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 VSX-43TX as well. On the video side, the component video output is fully compatible with high definition, progressive-scan digital video (720p).

Universal Player Compatibility (DVD Audio/Super Audio CD [SACD])

This receiver incorporates the latest technology and is able to handle cutting edge audio formats, like DVD Audio and Super Audio CD (SACD) 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.

Audio Scaler (HI BIT/HI SAMPLING)

This new technology enables the user to hear CD and DVD, as well as other soundtracks at a wider dynamic range, allowing for finer audio reproduction. This Audio Scaler approximates the audio of high end formats just becoming available now.

Easy-to-use Remote Control and Urushi Lacquer Aluminum Panel

This new remote control is extremely convenient to use. One button is dedicated to one task in the control of the receiver, eliminating confusing buttons whose purpose are unclear. In addition, this remote can be used to operate a variety of other components simply by recalling the appropriate setup codes. The smooth finish and left-right symmetry of the stylish urushi lacquer aluminum panel is emblematic of the high quality of the equipment.
