Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The fully-featured Pioneer VSX815 home theater receiver provides a high-power 700 watts of power, seven-channel surround sound, the latest in digital decoders, heat-reducing construction, and a high-end Motorola digital signal processor (DSP). The input terminals on the VSX815 are configured for 7.1-channel processing for DTS-ES, DTS, Dolby Digital, and other multi-channel sources such as DVD-Audio and SACD.

Its double-precision, high-speed 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. This DSP provides low jitter, a super-accurate PLL sound-processing clocking module, and virtually no audio degradation.

The VSX815 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 VSX815 even has a 5-band equalizer for more precise adjustment.

The VSX815 offers new 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. The three component video inputs and one output offer high-quality picture for DVD players and HDTV. It offers the following connection options:

• Composite AV In/Out: 4 in/2 out
• S-Video In/Out: 4 in/2 out
• Component video (YPbPr) In/Out: 3 in/1 out
• Digital coaxial audio In/Out: 3 in/0 out
• Digital optical audio In/Out: 2 in/0 out
• Headphones: 1
• Subwoofer output: 1
