MCACC (Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration System)
Create the optimum acoustic environment with Pioneer's MCACC, created with the expertise of professional recording studios. The system - complete with custom microphone - automatically compensates for differences in speaker size, level and distance, and equalizes response.
Phase Control
Phase Control is an innovative solution for the phase lag in a multi-channel speaker setting. It compensates the delayed bass to improve sound synchronization.
Dolby Pro Logic IIz
Dolby Pro Logic IIz realizes more spacious surround sound by adding front height channels to the conventional 5.1ch/7.1ch speaker settings. The enveloping sound with additional depth and dimension creates a lifelike listening experience. Dolby Pro Logic IIz does not require special contents, and works with existing soundtracks.
Auto Level Control
Auto Level Control equalises volume level differences between tracks when playing music from an iPod or other sources
Advanced Sound Retriever
Pioneer's latest A/V pre-main amplifier and receivers feature the Advanced Sound Retriever, which restores the output of compressed audio - such as WMA, MPEG-4 ACC, 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.
Bluetooth Ready
By using the AS-BT100 optional Bluetooth adapter, you can enjoy wireless transmission of audio contents from compatible devices such as iPhone/iPod touch (with OS 3.0 or later), iPod with a Bluetooth transmitter, mobile phone, or personal computer.
iPod/iPhone Digital Connection
Enjoy iPod videos, pictures and music via digital connection. The iPod digital connection models come with an iPod/iPhone cable, allowing direct connection without having to buy a docking station. The audio signals are directly transferred to the A/V receiver's high-performance DAC, offering superior sound compared to analogue connections. What's more, you can operate your iPod with the A/V receiver's remote control. With an iPhone/iPod touch, you can even watch Youtube video content enlarged on your TV screen. In addition to simple eplug and playf connectivity, the A/V Receivers will display the album artwork on a connected HDTV. Song titles can be shown in 7 languages. For your reference, the analogue connection model comes with a dedicated iPod terminal and an iPod cable, allowing playback of iPod videos and pictures as well as music.
HDMI (V1.4a with 3D)
With Pioneer's new A/V receivers featuring HDMI ver. 1.4a with 3D technology, you can enjoy the latest 3D video content. All you need is a 3D compatible Blu-ray Disc player and 3D compatible display. The A/V receivers also support Deep Colour and x.v Colour for vibrant, lifelike colours with smooth gradation transitions.
