Features

• Easy setup using Advanced Multichannel
Acoustic Calibration (MCACC)
Setting up for home theater sound is as easy as
connecting your speakers, a DVD player or other source,
and your TV. The Auto Surround Setup provides a quick
but accurate surround sound setup, while for complete
surround sound control you still have access to the full
range of surround sound settings.
In addition, the Professional Acoustic Calibration setup
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 a computer.
• i.LINK digital interface
The i.LINK interface makes it possible to connect this
receiver to i.LINK-equipped components, allowing you to
enjoy high sampling rate (up to 192kHz) PCM
multichannel digital audio from DVD-Audio and SACD
discs, as well as digital audio from DVD-Video, CD and
Video CD discs, all with a single cable.
With SACD discs, you will also be able to bypass the
signal processing of this receiver to hear 1-bit Direct
Stream Digital (DSD) audio directly.
• Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, including Dolby
Digital EX, DTS 96/24 and DTS-ES
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.
• Seamless video conversion
With the Pioneer video converter, you can use a wide
range of cables interchangeably, giving you more
flexibility when making video connections.
• USB digital interface
It is possible to listen to audio sources from your
computer by connecting to the USB interface on the rear
of this receiver.
