Our philosophy
Pioneer is dedicated to making your home theater
listening experience as close as possible to the vision of
the moviemakers and mastering engineer when they
created the original soundtrack. We do this by focusing
on three important steps:
1 Achieving the highest possible sound quality
2 Allowing for customized acoustic calibration
according to any listening area
3 Fine-tuning the amplifier with the help of world-
class studio engineers

Features
Easy setup using Advanced MCACC
Setting up for home theater sound is as easy as
connecting your speakers, a DVD player or other source,
and your TV. The Auto Surround Setup provides a quick
but accurate surround sound setup, while for complete
surround sound control you still have access to the full
range of surround sound settings.
In addition, the Professional Acoustic Calibration EQ
setup measures the reverb characteristics of your
listening area, allowing you to customize your system
calibration with the help of a graphical output that can be
displayed on-screen, or using a computer.
