VSX-322-K
5.1ch AV Receiver featuring HD Audio
The VSX-322-K lets you enjoy immersive essentials of 5.1ch high definition sounds. Phase Control eliminates lag between 5 channels and significantly improves multi-channel sound when watching movies.
Aligning channels with Phase Control
Phase Control is an innovative solution that manages the time and phase response of the speakers to minimize the effect of additional sound delays, usually due to the filtering process of multi-channel recordings. By combining our AV receivers and speakers that support Phase Control, multi-channel sound is reproduced faithful to the original source.
Advanced Sound Retriever
The VSX-322-K features the Advanced Sound Retriever, which restores the output of compressed audio - such as WMA, MPEG-4 AAC, 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.
Auto Level Control to level your sound experience
Often, you need to manually adjust the volume between different media sources because one is louder than another. Auto Level Control detects the difference and adjusts the volume for you automatically.
Deep Colour
The VSX-322-K supports 36-bit Deep Colour, featuring smooth gradation steps with more accurate precision of brightness and colour information, resulting in superbly detailed, natural colour.
x.v.Colour
The VSX-322-K supports x.v.Colour, which almost doubles the range of colours (known as the "gamut") that can be accurately captured, and reproduced on a compatible display, thereby more closely matching the natural characteristics of the human eye. *"x.v.Colour" only available for playback of discs recorded with AVCHD devices.
DTS-HD Master Audio™ and Dolby TrueHD
DTS-HD Master Audio™ and Dolby TrueHD are the highest quality audio formats available, provided by the huge capacity Blu-ray Disc to complement its high-definition videos. These new-generation audio codecs bring you the equivalent of the original soundtrack, just as intended by the creator.
Front Stage Surround Advance
With Front Stage Surround Advance, you can enjoy surround sound coming from only the front speakers and the subwoofer. Since wall reflections are not used, the setup is less dependent on the room environment, allowing front alignment of the speakers. Front Stage Surround Advance creates an excellent sound image and natural sound.
HDMI™ (3D, ARC)
The VSX-322-K features 3D technology. You can enjoy the latest 3D Blu-ray Discs and broadcasts by combining the AV receivers with a 3D compatible Blu-ray Disc player, game console, or tuner (STB) and display via HDMI connection. The Audio Return Channel (ARC) feature allows a TV with built-in tuner to send audio data "upstream" to the AV receiver via HDMI - so there's no need for a separate audio cable. Enjoy full-digital transfer of high definition audio as well as up to 1080p video signals by HDMI connection.
Auto Power Down
The AV receiver will automatically turn off after being left uncontrolled for a certain time set by the user.
