It may be called a receiver, but really, it's a giver.

THX Select2, cinematic to the core

THX Select2 is an umbrella term for all of the amazing playback and listening modes that fit into your brand new receiver. THX Certification requires a receiver's built-in amplifiers to meet extremely rigorous guidelines relating to sound fidelity and power output, ensuring an excellent reproduction of the theater experience in your home. Famed director George Lucas established THX technology as the big-theater audio reference standard. Now, Pioneer advances home theater surround once again with THX Select2, designed for high-impact multi-channel audio in rooms up to 2,000 cu. ft., such as your media room. The VSX01TXH delivers cinema-quality sound directly to your home. To eliminate undesireable electrical influence, Direct Construction keeps critical circuitry separate (for example, digital from analog, and video from audio). Also, the positioning of key parts is carefully mapped out, to optimize signal transmission efficiency.

Engineered for excellence

The advanced simplicity of design and the superior quality of the chips, power supplies, and materials that make up the VSX-01TXH prove that Pioneer A/V receivers are indeed the industry standard. The Digital Core Engine incorporates all digital signal processing into one powerful, compact circuit board, shortening the signal path and minimizing radiation. Its double-precision, high-speed 180 MIPS Motorola 48-bit DSP is the same chip used in Dolby and DTS theater systems worldwide, as well as in the creation of music, movies, and television shows. The benefits? Low jitter, a super-accurate PLL sound-processing clocking module, and virtually no audio degradation. Plus, this processors's low impedance stabilizes power throughout the chip, preventing internal noise that can affect signal purity.

The best sound for any room: Acoustic Calibration System

To achieve optimal audio performance, your speakers need to be fine-tuned for the room they're in. Room size and shape, floor and wall textures, the quality and relative size of your speakers — all of these factors affect performance. Pioneer has a solution: the VSX01TXH offers the most precise acoustic calibration available without professional support. It's called the Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration System, or MCACC, and it works in any room regardless of shape or size. Automatic MCACC set-up uses a microphone to monitor a room's acoustic environment, then determines the size and number of speakers, as well as channel level and listener-to-speaker distances. The VSX01TXH even has a 5-band equalizer for more precise adjustment. With MCACC, you can have the ultimate home entertainment system — one that is customized for your own home.

Sounds true

The input terminals on the VSX01TXH are configured for 7.1-channel processing for dts-ES, dts, Dolby Digital, and other multi-channel sources such as DVD-Audio and SACD. To enjoy cinema-quality sound, just connect a Pioneer DVD player and surround system speakers and you're ready. For CD-R/RW, MD, and other recording media, this receiver has six digital inputs and one digital output. You also get three component video inputs to maintain the signal integrity from such digital sources as DVD and DTV.

All this plus iPod, XM, and Sirius, too!

Home theater isn't just for movies anymore. Pioneer's VSX01TXH receiver can also deliver XM Satellite Radio (service not included, subscription and activation fees required) in digital 7.1 channel surround sound glory. Enjoy content in XM-HD Surround powered by Neural Audio via an XM Connect & Play receiver/antenna (sold separately, not included). Or connect this receiver to your iPod portable player using the Pioneer IDK-01 dock (sold separately, not included) and enjoy your music, photos, and videos through your home entertainment system. And with Pioneer's new patent-pending Sound Retriever technology, compressed audio formats are delivered to your ears in near-CD quality clarity.
