  Multiple high-definition audio and video sources. One impressive Elite® receiver to control — and optimize — them all. Enhance your complete home entertainment experience, through this Elite receiver’s simple connectivity. Three all-digital HDMI inputs require only one-cable connection to your HDTV and transfers huge amounts of high-definition audio and video, including 1080p signals from tomorrow’s soon to be available Blu-Ray Disc® players — without loss of quality. And without the maze of wires. A Faroudja® DCDi® HD Video Scaler even converts lower-resolution video signals up to 480p, 720p, or 1080i resolutions through this receiver’s HDMI output, so you can enjoy just about any content in the higher native resolution of your HDTV or monitor.
• Rediscover your digital content
  This Elite receiver does wonders for your digital content, as well. Easily connect your iPod® player with the included cable, and enjoy your portable audio, photos and videos from your powerful home entertainment system. With the addition of an XM® Connect & Play antenna (sold separately) and subscription service, listen to digital satellite radio in high-quality 5.1 channel surround-sound, with XM-HD Surround powered by Neural Audio®, easily controlled via the on-screen display*. With Pioneer’s new patent-pending Sound Retriever technology, compressed audio formats get a dynamic boost rivaling CD quality. This Elite receiver even includes a Phono input, so you can enjoy all this incredible audio — for your ears only.
• Serious surround sound
  Want a movie theater experience in your home? With this Elite receiver you’ll get 130 watts of immersive THXTM Select 2TM-certified surround sound, coming at you full-throttle across up to seven speakers — in your own living room. With twelve advanced surround modes, digital noise reduction, and Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES, and DTS 96/24 decoders, this Elite receiver delivers awesomely intense home theater. Super-compact circuitry dispenses heat and conserves energy to power seven channels of Advanced Direct Energy Amplification. Add Pioneer’s Ultra Digital Core Engine 2 with a state-of-the-art third generation Sharc-EX® from Analog Devices and a 48-bit Freescale DSP processor, and you’ve got an Elite receiver equipped to handle all your entertainment demands.
• Any room. Any source. Anytime
  Play a CD in one room. A DVD in another. XM digital satellite radio in still another. Custom-install ready, this Elite receiver simplifies professional customization for the ultimate home entertainment system. The RS-232c interface and IR/Input online downloads allow custom installers to add and program third party IR receivers, repeaters and touch pad remote controls — allowing multi-source, multi-room control for up to three rooms. Built-in 12-volt triggers can also be configured to power-up other components of your home-theater experience — such as closing remote controlled blinds just as the movie begins! For professional-grade audio — without the need for a professional — the Advanced Multi-Channel AcoustiC Calibration System (MCACC) with 9 band EQ, Phase Control, Standing Wave & X-Curve Control recreates the sound engineer’s original intent, in your own home. Just place the included microphone in the room’s sweet spot, and it evaluates the acoustic signature then fine-tunes the sonic performance of all connected speakers for unprecedented sound fidelity.
