538213705

Looking for a receiver that can keep up with your ever-changing home theater needs? With 400 watts of clear power from its Direct Energy amplifier, the 5.1-channel VSX822 keeps you connected thanks to Airplay capabilities, and an iOS compatible front USB port for your iPhone, iPod, or iPad, 6 HDMI inputs, and all the latest surround sound codecs from Dolby and DTS.

Making the right connections

Home theater has evolved. Sure, you've still got your CD collection, your DVD collection, and you still get most of your television shows through your DVR. But you've also cut a few wires, and loaded up your iPad, iPod, and iPhone with all the video, audio, and apps that you can handle. You need a home theater hub that can handle your old media, and still sync up seamlessly with the new. You need the Pioneer VSX822 5.1-channel home theater system. With AirPlay built-in, you can connect to your home network via Ethernet, and instantly stream audio, video, and apps from your iOS device with the tap of a finger. And with 400W of clear power, thanks to the VSX822's Direct Energy amplifier, your whole surround system can reach its full potential. Of course, it's not just the new; 6 HDMI inputs give you all the room you need for your favorite high-def components (and maybe a little more, just in case). Plus, component and composite video and audio connections on the VSX822 make sure your legacy equipment isn't left in the dust.
