Manufacturer description
Could this be the turning point where movie theatergoers start demanding "Home Theater" quality sound? This query may not be so far fetched after you've witnessed Pioneer's Elite receivers in action. Designed to meet the needs of today and tomorrow, Pioneer Elite Receivers represent the culmination of years of R&D and the latest advancements in A/V Receiver technology. With features like THX Ultra and Select, Dolby Digital, dts, Advanced Theater Digital Signal Processing, High Power Direct Energy MOSFET Amplification, and SMART remote controls, Elite Receivers were built from input to output, to meet the needs of the most demanding of A/V enthusiast. Pioneer offers the VSX-39TX - a THX Ultra certified A/V Receiver. This receiver features Dolby Digital Decoder that allows you to experience the thrills of today's stunning Hollywood soundtracks right in your family room. By decoding five discrete audio channels, plus a separate subwoofer channel for dynamic low bass performance, Dolby Digital delivers crisp dialogue, breathtaking movement across the soundstage, and thunderous special effects. DTS (Digital Theater Systems) is an established digital multichannel audio format found mostly in movie theaters. DTS delivers six (5.1) channels of output sound, offering superior reproduction of DTS-encoded materials ranging from subtle details to the high-powered sound effects. Audio Digital Signal Processing (DSP) recreates different sonic environments, simulating the acoustics of locations like arenas, churches, and clubs. Playing music through a DSP mode creates a more vivid, life-like listening experience. DSP delivers sounds sculpted to recreate the reflections and reverberations that make live performances so satisfying. Illuminated TouchSmart LCD Remote Control provides complete control of the unit from the comfort and convenience of your chair. Midnight Mode automatically adjusts the output level of all channels to allow greater enjoyment of home theater at low volume. A very useful feature when the kids are asleep.
