Your entire home cinema system is only as good as its amplifier or receiver. Think of it as the
brains behind the scene. Amplifiers and receivers decode the information from the connected
sound sources and transform it into the resonating sound zooming around your living space.
For the technically conscious, Pioneer’s wide selection of high quality amplifiers and
receivers can meet the current and future technology requirements of any system from DVD-
Audio/Video players to 7.1 channel input from an external multi-channel decoder. Or maybe
you’re more of a trend-setter and have already noticed the VSX-C300/VSX-C300-S, the new
hyper-skinny A/V receiver, a match made in heaven for the DV-444-K/DV-444-S, a stylish,
super-slim DVD-Video player. Whichever home cinema statement you’re going for, Pioneer
certainly has got it covered!

Direct Current Bus-bar (VSA-E08)
The Direct Energy MOSFET circuitry is fixed on a pure pressed out aluminium heat sink, which is designed to avoid
resonance. The direct current bus-bar is adopted as power supply material to the MOSFET. Its construction features a
1.2 mm thick copper plate, stamped out with an original round shape. This rounded shape was chosen as a result of
a sound comparison among amplifiers. The direct current bus-bar makes it possible to lower impedance at the power
line, and realises a bigger power supply instantaneously, required for a more dynamic sound field expression.
Moreover, for accurate multi-channel stereophonic reproduction, power supply conditions (front L/R, surround L/R
and power +/-) are placed at structurally and electronically symmetric positions. As a result, errors in sound field
reproduction do not occur.
