Pioneer 5.1 Channel 3D Ready AV Receiver, Model VSX521K
Introducing the Pioneer VSX-521-K AV Receiver
With clean, compelling lines, the VSX-521 has been streamlined to look as elegant,
modern and state-of-the-art as the technology inside. Technology designed to
serve one singular purpose: to get you closer than ever before to the artist's
true intent.
Unleash your Smartphone's Music with Bluetooth®
The VSX-521 is fully ready for wireless Bluetooth audio from virtually any A2DP
profile Bluetooth device, including iPod®, iPhone®, iPad®, smartphones, laptops,
etc. With the Pioneer AS-BT200 Bluetooth adapter, you can untether yourself
from cables and inputs. And you'll enjoy near cd-quality with Sound Retriever
AIR technology, created specifically to enhance Bluetooth audio.
Ultimate Sound Control
Of course the VSX-521 supports the latest high-definition audio formats, Dolby®
TrueHD and DTS-HD® Master Audio to give your Blu-ray Disc® soundtracks unsurpassed
audio quality. But Pioneer also includes all of the Dolby and DTS surround formats
best suited for the wide variety of entertainment sources, including the newest
Dolby Pro Logic IIz height channel. New for this year, the VSX-521 features
Pioneer's exclusive Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration system (MCACC), providing
a near studio-quality, multi-channel listening experience customized specifically
to your listening environment. An included microphone measures every speaker's
connection, and notes its size, distance from the listening point, sound levels
and timbre to calibrate and maximize performance specifically for your room.
All you have to do is sit back and let it happen. Even compressed audio such
as WMA, MP3 and AAC is enhanced with another Pioneer exclusive, Advanced Sound
Retriever, by filling in areas where minute details were left out during the
compression process. And since the only thing that should shock you is how good
it sounds, there's also an Auto Level Control that eliminates jarring volume
changes between your favorite songs, albums and audio sources by equalizing
volume differences between portable audio tracks or television programming.
Ready for 3D?
You are with the Latest HDMI® Technology All of Pioneer's newest receivers support
the latest HDMI 1.4a specification. So not only do you get the most out of your
existing movies and music, with the VSX-521 you're prepared for the next generation
of 3D video content. With 4 HDMI inputs, you've got plenty of connectivity options
for the growing number of high-definition sources available. All Pioneer receivers
also offer advanced HDMI conveniences like Audio Return Channel and HDMI Standby
Through.
On-Screen Display

so you can make guided adjustments to your home theater sound.
