This top-of-the-line, feature-packed A/V receiver has everything, and we mean everything you’d expect:
THX Ultra certification, THX Surround EX and DTS-ES compatible, plus an RDS tuner. On top of this, thanks
to top-of-the-line THX Ultra certification, this quality system produces 110 watts of quality cinema
surround sound with 7.1 channels in/pre-out – perfect even in larger rooms.
Pioneer’s Direct Energy MOSFET assures the amplifier runs cool and clean, while assuring higher power
and rich bass, for improved overall sound.

VSX-909RDS with black finish.
M-10X
You’re probably thinking THX Surround EX, right? This is why we’ve designed
this golden amplifier specifically to enhance the additional Surround Back
channel, in the THX Surround EX system. And the gold finish perfectly matches
the other components – VSA-E08, VSX-909RDS-G and VSX-859RDS-G. Just the
extra touch you’d expect.
A-509RFOR FOR
If you are looking for a black model to do the same job of amplifying the extra
channel which creates the THX Surround EX sound, you might want to consider
the A-509R. This model can be used with the VSX-909RDS and VSX-859RDS.

THX Ultra
A THX theatre is recognised as the highest class of movie
theatre. THX Ultra is an acoustic program to reproduce its high
quality sound in your home. Comparing the average home
cinema room with a movie theatre, there are different capacity
levels and environmental problems. For example, there are differences in
phonetic characteristics, represented in sound reflection and reverberation.
THX Ultra solves these kinds of problems, and offers the ideal sound field.
Lucasfilm Ltd. has established certain standards that components have to
meet to become THX certified – e.g. passing a rigorous series of quality and
performance tests, including frequency response, distortion, power output
and stability. This certification is bestowed upon Pioneer’s VSA-E08 and
VSX-909RDS(-G) models. These THX Ultra A/V amplifier/receivers achieve a
higher level of amplifier performance in areas like sound field reproduction
and speaker drivability. THX Ultra essentially mirrors the performance and
quality created in the original sound mix.
DTS-ES (Matrix 6.1)
Thrilling theatrical sound that makes you feel
like you're in the movies, not just watching them,
is only one benefit of DTS-ES – the latest cinema
surround sound format. Using low data
compression and a high data transfer rate, DTS-ES adds an additional sound
channel, allowing filmmakers to be even more creative with sound. The extra
rear channel, called "Surround Back", is placed behind you and puts you
right in the middle of the action and offers better special effects. A word of
warning: when you watch a scary movie with DTS-ES, don't be afraid of the
footsteps you hear coming up from behind. They're just part of the package.
