Pioneer VSA-530

Commentary

An AV control center with Dolby surround and digital delay.

It is equipped with 3 types of surround mode which can be chosen according to the character of the source.
Dolby Surround corresponds to a program source encoded by the intention of the filmmaker, and the surround signal adds a 15-30 ms delay to the front L/R signal and passes it through a Dolby B-type noise reduction circuit to improve the signal-to-noise ratio.
Simulated Surround mode gives a pseudo surround effect to a monaural program source. The principle is that the front L + R signal plus or minus the delayed signal is output to surround L/R.
The stadium mode reproduces a vast sound field like an outdoor stadium.

The ADM (Adaptive Delta Modulation) digital surround system is used to enjoy high quality surround sound.
It is also equipped with a digital delay IC that can select delay times in three stages : 15, 20 20 ms and 30 ms.

Motor drive electric volume is adopted.

It uses honeycomb chassis and large insulator to prevent vibration and strain.

It comes with an AV programmable remote controller with a learning function that can control your video, TV and audio equipment with a remote controller.
