PIONEER PREPARES YOU FOR A TRULY DIGITAL INTERFACED ENVIRONMENT
The range of digital connections in the new multi-channel A/V receivers ensures that youre ready for the digital era. Now that a true digital interface is possible, digital-to-analogue conversions are made redundant and therefore the pure digital quality shines through. Remarkably streamlined HDMI connections allow you to switch easily between two HDMI-capable sources while preserving perfect picture quality via high-resolution video signals. Another single-cable convenience can be found with i.LINK. This pure digital connection between an A/V amp/receiver and a DVD player lets you enjoy high-resolution audio formats like DVD-Audio and SACD. An iPod port is tech-heaven for fans of portable digital music. With the USB terminal, you can easily hook up your computer as well.

ONE CONNECTION FOR COMPLETE DIGITAL TRANSFER OF ALL SIGNALS (VSX-AX4AVi, VSX-AX2AV)
A single HDMI cable allows high definition video and uncompressed multi-channel surround audio as well as standard stereo to be directly transmitted between two HDMI-equipped units. The purity of the signal is maintained, true to the original, with absolutely no distortion or loss of quality. Two HDMI inputs are available, in addition to the standard inputs, allowing you to connect even more sources. Pioneers Digital Video Converter even allows component, Digital Video Converter with HDMI Output S-Video and composite signals to be up-converted to HDMI, allowing a single connection to your display. With the range of connection options, it is easy to configure any home installation.

INNOVATIVE FRAME DESIGN CONCEPT GIVES SUPERIOR SUPPORT (VSA-AX10Ai, VSX-AX4AVi, VSX-AX2AV, VSX-1015)
The revolutionary 3-D space frame construction reinforces the physical strength of the amplifiers/receivers. Unlike traditional 2-D chassis designs, each part is fixed to the frame from various angles, so the unit has the strength to support the heavy transformer, without any distortion. The double-layered chassis ensures an extremely strong and rigid base for the 3-D frames. In addition, the chassis is copper-plated* to suppress signal interference between circuits and reduce ground impedance. This 3-D space frame works simultaneously with the concentrated direct construction to further minimise signal interference which results in an open and fresh sound.

SURROUND MODES FOR MORE PERSONALISED VIEWING (All A/V amplifiers and receivers)
Enhance your entertainment experience even further. Just take advantage of Pioneers pre-defined Original Surround modes and listening modes to tailor the sound to your specific listening conditions or source. Bring out big-theatre sound from action movies with Advanced Movie mode, while Advanced Music mode will make you believe youre in a large concert hall. 5/6/7-Channel Stereo uses all the speakers in the system to simulate a stereo feeling and create rich surround sound. (6/7-Channel Stereo is used with one or two Surround Back speakers; if none are available, 5-Channel Stereo takes effect.) Virtual Surround Back creates a highly convincing phantom surround back sound behind you. Expanded Theatre mode adds more sound depth to Dolby Surround sources. For TV or headphone listening turn on TV Surround and Phones Surround modes for enhanced surround effects. A sports fan? Youll feel right in the middle of the stadium with Sports mode. Try out Game mode if youre an avid gamer. It deepens the sound of powerful movement and speed for intense video game action. During those late night movies, put on Midnight Listening mode for better cinema-like sound at low volumes. If poken dialogue isnt clear during action sequences, switch on Dialogue Enhancement mode. See the charts on pages for availability of modes for each receiver.
Sports mode blasts you straight to the scene of the match, as though you were personally at the stadium
ENTIRE HOME SYSTEM AT YOUR FINGERTIPS (VSX-AX4AVi, VSX-AX2AV, VSX-1015, VSX-915)
With the SR+ interface, you can integrate your A/V receiver with a Pioneer Plasma TV with minimum fuss. Receiver status, controls and set-up features are displayed on the plasma for easy operation; the plasma TV automatically follows the input and accepts remote control commands from the A/V receiver. Advanced SR+ also includes a macro function, an easy solution for frequently used multi-step system commands (available for VSX-AX4AVi and VSX-AX2AV only). For example, press the macro and DVD buttons on the remote control, and the plasma TV, A/V receiver and DVD player will all switch on at the same time. Moreover, the input function for both the plasma TV and the A/V receiver will be changed automatically.
LCD PRESET & LEARNING REMOTE CONTROL
(VSX-AX4AVi, VSX-AX2AV, VSX-1015, VSX-915)
Operating your receiver just got even simpler. These receivers are outfitted with Pioneers exclusive new remote control, with an intuitive and easy-to-understand key layout. It features an LCD display, which gives information about the source currently being controlled. It enhances ease-of-use between the receiver and a Pioneer DVD player, DVD recorder and plasma TV. And, it includes a host of preset codes and learning capability, which make setting up a cinch.

SPEAKER UNITS BY TAD

The EX series speaker units are designed by TAD (Technical Audio Devices), Pioneers world leading brand of professional studio monitor speakers. TAD speaker units have been used in many of the world's major recording studios and are regarded by many top artists as the reference monitor speakers for recording and digital remastering. TAD speaker units feature proprietary Beryllium tweeter diaphragms. Beryllium is a very lightweight, yet exceptionally strong metal and can produce extremely clear and accurate sound extending well above the limit of human hearing, so that both SACD and DVD-Audio recordings can be enjoyed to the fullest. TAD proprietary CST (Coherent Source Transducer) technology controls the phase and directivity of the drive unit. The perfect concentric setting of the acoustic centres of the tweeter and midrange transducers remarkably improves the sound image precision and the off-axis frequency response of the speaker system.
