Its M.O. — Surround sound
With 7.1 channels by 120W each, it's little surprise that the Pioneer VSX-1019AHK embodies surround sound. While Direct Energy Amplification circuitry delivers high-power drivability, ultra-efficient amplification, stable imaging, and low energy loss for exceptional sound quality and clarity from each channel, a variety of surround modes team up with system equalization to optimize your system's performance for your listening area and your preferences. For customized surround sound, choose between a variety of surround modes, including Auto Surround, Wide and Focus front-stage surround advance, Virtual Surround Back, and 13 other surround modes. MCACC equalization uses advanced algorithms to match your system's performance to the acoustic properties of your listening area for a custom home audio experience.
You've heard of HD video . . . but what about HD audio?
The combination of your flat panel HDTV and Blu-ray Disc player have revolutionized your home theater experience . . . well, at least half of it. Completing the true HD video/Blu-ray Disc experience is the high-definition audio that accompanies the HD video on the Blu-ray disc. Delivering the algorithms, engineering, and innovation to let you experience HD audio at home, the Pioneer VSX 1019AHK sports Dolby TrueHD and dts-HD Master Audio decoding. Each of these technologies allows for decoding of high-definition, multi-channel audio. You enjoy the sound effects, dialogue, and soundtrack of your favorite movies as they were mixed in the studio . . . i.e. just as the director intended.
Oh yes, iPhone compatible
As portable audio devices are now becoming a primary source of entertainment, it's also why the VSX-1019AH is Works with iPhone® certified. With this certification comes a myriad of benefits for enjoying your iPhone on the VSX-1019AH: easy connectivity with the front USB port and included cable — even charging the device while connected; music and movies are automatically muted with incoming calls (no longer requiring you to put the phone in Airplane Mode); compressed music files are greatly enhanced by Pioneer?s exclusive Advanced Sound Retriever technology; Auto Level Control maintains a consistent volume from to song to song and all this control is still possible from the palm of your hand through the iPhone itself or the VSX-1019AH?s remote.
As popular as MP3: connectivity
Beyond iPhone, go ahead and hook up your iPod and finish that killer mix, thanks to the VSX-1019AHK's USB port. With the appropriate adaptor, all you have do to is plug your iPod or other portable audio player in, and you'll be jamin' out to your favorite tunes once again.
Endless audio options . . . Satellite radio
You want to be able to enjoy your satellite radio subscription back at home just as much as you do your MP3 collection. With its Sirius satellite radio readiness, the VSX 1019AHK is fully equipped to accept your satellite radio signal. Additionally, an on-screen display makes browsing stations in search of your new favorite a breeze.
Tunes around the house
While iPod and satellite radio readiness make it easy to bring your "out-and-about" tunes home, you still shouldn't feel limited to enjoying your favorite music only in your living room. Featuring Zone 2 A/V output in addition to an assignable surround-back amplifier for a second zone, with the appropriate speaker and screen configuration, the VSX1019AHK lets you enjoy audio and video in a second room of your house. Queue up mood music in the dining room . . . Pump-out high-energy tunes for the BBQ in the back yard . . . Watch the end of the movie you fell asleep watching the night before while getting ready for your day in the bedroom.
Reinforcements for your foundation
If the Pioneer VSX-1019AHK is the foundation of your home theater system, then low-frequency, or bass, is the foundation of your home audio experience. Not daring to neglect this essential piece of your home theater — think the deep rumbling of a jet engine, or the room-shaking punch of the bass drum in your favorite song — Pioneer has designed the VSX-1019AHK with a LFE attenuator and Phase Control. This bass management system ensures precision low-frequency output for a complete audio experience.
HDMIncredible
Bringing you the absolute best in connectivity, Pioneer's VSX 1019AHK features four HDMI connections. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the only interface in consumer electronics that can carry both uncompressed high-definition (HD) video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in all HD formats including 720p, 1080i and even 1080p. Your incoming media content comes in a variety of sizes, resolutions and formats, and with that in mind, HDMI systems automatically configure to display that content in the most effective format. Since HDMI carries all channels on video and audio, there is only one cable to plug into any HDMI-enabled source and display device. No more complicated cable set-up when installing your home theater system, and no more ugly cable mess behind your components. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on this single cable. Also, HDMI is fully backward-compatible with DVI. (Please note that a physical adapter, sold separately, is needed to make the conversion from HDMI to DVI.)
Avoid the 'No Wire' ire
The advent of HDMI has been monumental in the advancement of all your favorite audio and video gadgets. Don't miss out on all that your new VSX1019AHK offers — in terms of high-definition audio and video connectivity — by leaving a set of HDMI cables off the list.
