Commentary
This AV amplifier is compatible with DTS and Dolby Digital and has a built-in FM/AM tuner.
Equipped with Dolby Digital and DTS surround decoders for multi-channel playback of DVD audio.
Equipped with advanced theater mode.
This function is a sound field mode unique to Pioneer. You can choose the sound field that best suits the style of the living room and the sound taste of the user while retaining the essence of surround formats such as DTS and Dolby Digital.
Equipped with newly developed expanded theater mode.
This mode is a new sound field mode which condensed the essence of the 5D theater mode adopted in the high-grade equipment. As with the 5D theater mode, it is possible to play the surround sound with 5.1 channel multi-speaker even with 2 channel based Dolby surround sound used for rental video, TV broadcasting and games.
In addition, 5.1 ch based software such as Dolby Digital provides a more stereoscopic surround sound field.
The power element is equipped with a PHA (Pioneer Hybrid Amplification) amplifier with a unique hybrid structure.
In this device, a temperature compensation circuit is incorporated inside the power element to control the bias current according to the temperature change of the transistor, thereby suppressing the generation of distortion.
In addition, by shortening the signal path through one chip, it is possible to reproduce a sound image with higher freshness.
The internal structure uses direct construction to simplify the signal path and to separate the signal processing blocks to eliminate noise and interference.
Built-in FM/AM tuner.
The tuner section allows auto-tuning and preset up to 30 FM/AM stations.
It is equipped with various terminals such as 5.1 ch direct input and optical digital input / output terminal.
Equipped with Midnight listening mode, it can improve the sense of presence that tends to be lacking when enjoying movies or music at low volume such as at night.
This mode adjusts the frequency response, balance, dynamic range, and other characteristics of the human auditory sense according to volume changes.
A 4-stage FL dimmer display is used for the display part.
AV preset learning remote controller is included.
