Features

• Advanced Direct Energy design

This receiver offers a new advancement in discrete

design unique to Pioneer for high-power drivability, low

distortion and stable imaging. Through a circuit design

that minimizes the energy loss of the amplifier for each of

the channels, this receiver generates equal amplifier

power to all channels, eliminating the possibility of one

channel dominating a particular sound field.

• Easy setup using Advanced MCACC

The Auto MCACC Setup provides a quick but accurate

surround sound setup, which includes the advanced

features of Professional Acoustic Calibration EQ. This

innovative technology measures the reverb

characteristics of your listening area, allowing you to

customize your system calibration with the help of a

graphical output that can be displayed on-screen or

using computer. With the additional benefits of

numerous MCACC preset memories, standing wave

control and microphone measurements from a series of

reference points, your home theater experience can be

truly customized for optimal surround sound.

• THX Select2 Plus certified design

This receiver bears the THX Select2 Plus logo, which

means it has passed a rigorous series of quality and

performance tests covering every aspect of the product.

This includes testing of pre-amplifier and power amplifier

performance and operation, and hundreds of other

parameters in both the digital and analog domain,

making your home theater experience as faithful as

possible to what the director intended.

• Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, including Dolby

Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS 96/24, DTS-ES, Dolby

Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-EXPRESS and DTS-HD

Master Audio

Dolby Digital and DTS decoding brings theater sound

right into your home with up to six channels of surround

sound, including a special LFE (Low Frequency Effects)

channel for deep, realistic sound effects.

The built-in Dolby Pro Logic IIx and DTS Neo:6 decoders

not only provide full surround sound decoding for Dolby

Surround sources, but will also generate convincing

surround sound for any stereo source.

Also, with the addition of a surround back speaker, you

can take advantage of the built-in Dolby Digital EX and

DTS-ES decoders for six-channel surround sound.

Furthermore, Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD,

which are designed for the next-generation high-

definition media such as Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD,

support up to 7.1 channels and 8 channels respectively.

DTS-EXPRESS is a low-bitrate encoding technology

supporting up to 5.1 channels, with fixed data transfer

rates ranging from 24 kbps to 256 kbps (this encoding is

available only when signals are delivered to this receiver

as primary audio).

DTS-HD Master Audio delivers audio signals to listeners

without any loss of data with its high transfer rates.

• Phase Control

The Phase Control technology incorporated into this

receiver’s design provides coherent sound reproduction

through the use of phase matching for an optimal sound

image at your listening position.

• Sound Retriever

The Sound Retriever feature employs DSP technology

that helps bring CD quality sound back to WMA, MP3

and MPEG-4 AAC audio files by restoring sound pressure

and smoothing jagged artifacts left over after

compression.

• Front Stage Surround Advance

With the Front Stage Surround Advance feature, you can

enjoy seamless, natural surround sound effects using

only the front speakers, without deteriorating the quality

of the original sound.

• Auto Level Control

When the source is played in Auto level control stereo

mode (A.L.C.), this receiver automatically equalizes the

playback sound level according to the variation in

recording levels between music sources recorded in the

portable audio player.

• HDMI and digital video conversion

This receiver is compatible with the HDMI digital video

format, providing you with high-definition digital video/

audio via a single cable.

High-quality sound formats such as DTS-HD and Dolby

TrueHD are supported while this receiver is also

compatible with the DeepColor feature. You can operate

this receiver in synchronization with your Pioneer

component that supports the HDMI Control function by

connecting your component to this receiver via HDMI.

Also, the built-in digital video converter of this receiver

makes both de-interlacing and up-scaling possible, and

analog video signals being input are converted and

output as digital video signals at the HDMI terminal.
