Features

Audio
% Dolby Atmos
This AV receiver supports the latest Dolby Atmos surround sound system. Dolby Atmos is a new technology in
which, through real time calculation of audio data and meta data (position and time information) included in the
audio signal, a surround sound space is achieved irrespective of the speaker layout and number of speakers.
Dolby Atmos contents are required to enjoy Dolby Atmos. For Blu-ray discs with Dolby Atmos, Dolby Atmos can
be played by connecting most conventional Blu-ray discs with this receiver using HDMI.

Class D Amplifier
This unit is an AV receiver developed based on the latest high performance Class D amplifier and integrating
the essence of Pioneer's high sound quality designs. This new generation reference amplifier offers outstanding
performance with high sound quality and reproduces the latest in multi-channel digital contents.
% ESS-24bit-DAC-equipped
All channels are equipped with ESS SABRE Premier Audio DACs. The Jitter Eliminators achieve clearer sound.
% Hi-bit 24 Audio Processing
Creates a wider dynamic range with digital sources like CDs or DVDs. 16- and 20-bit PCM as well as compressed
audio is requantized to 24 bits, and the high frequency component is interpolated upon data processing to enable
smoother, more subtle musical expression.
% Easy setup using MCACC PRO
The Auto MCACC Setup provides a quick but accurate surround sound setup, which includes the advanced fea-
tures of Professional Acoustic Calibration EQ.
%
Auto Phase Control Plus
For discs created with standards other than Phase Control, the LFE channel is delayed upon recording in the first
place. This function automatically corrects phase shifting on such discs and broadcasts. This function is particu-
larly effective when playing multi-channel music containing low frequency effects (LFE).
%
Full Band Phase Control
The further advanced Full Band Phase Control technology focuses on the group delay in the speaker network
filter, and compensates with special digital signal processing (DSP), to adjust the phase of each unit as well as
the group delay for each speaker. Full Band Phase Control gives multi-range speakers the sound coherence of
full-range speakers, while retaining the wide frequency range advantage.
% Subwoofer EQ
The EQ for subwoofer output can be corrected. In addition to the results of MCACC automatic adjustment, the
subwoofer output can be adjusted to match the viewing environment or your taste by manual correction.
%
Virtual Speakers
By turning on the 'Virtual Surround Back', 'Virtual Height', and 'Virtual Wide' modes, it is possible to realize a
maximum of 11.1 channels combining the speakers that are actually installed and the virtual speakers. This
makes for a smoother connection between the sounds and an improved 3D feel.
