Pioneer 6.1-Channel A/V Receiver

VSX-515-S (Silver)

The versatile VSX515-S powers 6 channels with 110 watts and features DTS, Dolby Digital, and Dolby Pro Logic II decoding. Component Video Switching provides a connection for DVD players and high-definition TV tuners, providing convenient control through the receiver without any degradation in picture quality.

Engineered For Excellence

The advanced simplicity of design and the superior quality of the chips, power supplies and materials that make up the VSX515S 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 150 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.

Less Heat and Direct Construction

The main components of the VSX515S's Pioneer Hybrid Amplification system are built into a single integrated circuit, for perfect precision even when processing high-level current. Since heat influences the amount of bias an output transistor requires to reproduce sound, Pioneer engineered a special Thermal Compensation Transistor to maintain correct bias levels regardless of temperature, minimizing total harmonic distortion. 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.

Surround Yourself with Pristine Sound

In addition to the more traditional surround sound formats, the VSX515S offers Pioneer's exclusive DSP technology, which lets you experience movies and music as never before. Virtual Surround Back mode deepens and broadens the sound stage by creating a "phantom" rear surround effect without using a surround back speaker. 6-Channel Stereo mode simulates a regular stereo acoustic environment while using all your system's speakers to create Original Surround modes. For the most compelling entertainment possible, Advanced Theater DSP modes create various simulated sound stages depending on the room environment and applications (choose between Cinema, Music, TV, Game, and Sports).

Quality Connections

To enjoy cinema-quality sound from the VSX515S, just connect a Pioneer DVD player and suround system speakers and you're ready. For CD-R/RW, MD, and other recording media, this receiver has two digital coaxial inputs and 1 optical input. You also get two component video inputs to maintain the signal integrity from such digital sources as DVD and DTV.

Quick Set-Up, Friendly Control

The VSX515S offers the ultimate convenience of Quick Set-up. Just input the room size and the number of connected speakers, and the optimal levels and delay time will be set automatically. Component Video Switching simplifies your system when you add more components, and the smart, comprehensive remote control makes set-up and operation simple.
