Pioneer VSX-917V-S Features

Precision You Can Hear

Let Pioneer's VSX917VS A/V receiver turn up your home theater experience with up to 7 channels of high-powered amplification that immerse you in three-dimensional surround sound. There's no better way to enjoy movies, music, sports, games, and HDTV. But why stop there? With a host of digital connections, you can also enjoy both XM Satellite Radio and SIRIUS Satellite Radio on your home theater system; and because of WMA9 Pro compatibility, you can bring compressed Windows Media Audio encoded music and other content to surround sound life. Whatever your entertainment of choice, now you can fill your space with 110 watts of sound across seven channels in any of nine advanced surround modes. And it's not just high definition audio that sounds amazing on this Pioneer receiver. The new Freescale 180 MIPS Digital Signal Processor, coupled with Pioneer's patent-pending Sound Retriever technology, brings near-CD richness to compressed audio formats like MP3s. Built into a single integrated circuit, the Pioneer Hybrid Amplifier with Thermal Compensation Transistor Design delivers perfect sound precision, despite heat variations. So your sound stays cleaner, crisper, longer. Even when you play it louder.

Amplified Quality

This next gets a little technical. If you don't care exactly how Pioneer achieves such incomparable performance, skip to the next feature. The VSX917VS's Pioneer Hybrid Amplifier design is a unique structure to reduce the distortion caused by the dynamic change of heat in the system. Temperature is a key factor since heat directly affects the amount of bias required by an output transistor to reproduce sound. A thermal compensation transistor provides transistor temperature feedback to the bias circuit, ensuring that the correct amount of bias is applied to the transistors, regardless of temperature. Moreover, to enhance dissipation of heat, the output transistor's Thermal Compensation Circuits are all mounted to the same portion of the heat sink. The advantages are thorough reduction of the distortion by controlling bias current quickly in accordance with the change of the power transistor temperature and an ultra short signal path by integrating major parts of the power amplification stage.

Engineered Excellence

The advanced simplicity of design and the superior quality of the chips, power supplies, and materials that make up the VSX917VS prove that Pioneer A/V receivers are indeed the industry standard. The Freescale DSP Digital Engine incorporates all digital signal processing into one powerful, compact circuit board, shortening the signal path and minimizing radiation. The benefits are 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.

Best Performance In Any Room--Automatically

To achieve optimal audio performance, your speaker output needs to be fine-tuned to the listening room. 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 VSX917VS 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 VSX917VS even has a 5-band equalizer for more precise adjustment. With MCACC, you can have the ultimate home entertainment system--one that's customized for your own home.

Surrounded By Pristine Sound

In addition to the more traditional surround sound formats, the VSX91VS offers new Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Pro Logic IIx for 7.1-channel playback of traditional stereo and 5.1/6.1-channel content. It can apply Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES decoding to 6.1-channel output, and its DTS NEO:6 capability can produce 6.1-channel surround from 2-channel sources. Pioneer's exclusive DSP technology lets you experience movies and music as never before. There are 14 Advanced Surround modes, including Front Stage Surround Advance. Virtual Surround Back mode deepens and broadens the sound stage by creating a phantom rear surround effect without using a surround back speaker. Enjoy all this high-quality entertainment in 110-watt per channel surround sound, across as many as seven speakers. With this receiver at the center of your system, there's virtually no limit to your entertainment possibilities.

Quality Connections

Three HDMI conections (2 in, 1 out) make video input switching easy, while digital video upconversion (to component video) improves the quality of composite and S-Video signals. Input terminals are configured for 7.1-channel processing of 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 two each digital coaxial and optical audio inputs, plus a digital output. You also get three component video inputs and one output to maintain the signal integrity from such digital sources as DVD and DTV. S-Video and composite connections are included as well.

XM Or SIRIUS? Now You Can Choose

XM or SIRIUS? SIRIUS or XM? There was a time when the manufacturer of your A/V receiver determined which satellite radio service would be compatible. Not any more! Pioneer's VSX917VS receiver is compatible with both XM and SIRIUS. XM delivers over 170 channels of music (including 69 commercial-free channels), news, sports, talk, comedy, and children's programming. There are even select channels broadcasting in XM-HD Surround 5.1-channel audio. To hear XM you'll need the optional XM Mini-Tuner and XM Mini-Tuner Home Dock, or the older XM Connect & Play tuner/antenna (none of which is included). SIRIUS brings you over 130 channels with all music channels commercial free. To hear SIRIUS you'll need the optional SiriusConnect Home tuner (not included). Check xmradio.com and sirius.com to see which service has your favorite sports coverage and personalities, and for the hardware to make it happen. You also have to subscribe to either or both services, activation and subscription fees apply (subscriptions not included).
