Product Description

Creating a truly immersive entertainment experience in the home is no small task, but one that has driven the latest innovations incorporated in the Pioneer Elite VSX-21TXH receiver. At the core of the VSX-21TXH is the Direct Energy Class A/B amplifier to power a sonically dynamic multi-channel home theater. Connect a Pioneer Blu-ray Disc player to the Elite VSX-21TXH and lose yourself in the latest movie in a stunning 1080p picture complemented by a Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master audio soundtrack. If you are enjoying your current DVD library, the VSX-21TXH will enhance the multi-channel soundtrack with the Pioneer-exclusive Advanced Sound Retriever-Multi (ASR) technology so the sound will be more robust in the larger 5.1 channel system. And if you are watching broadcast television, the proprietary Auto Level Control-Multi (ALC) will monitor and maintain the volume at a consistent level so commercials won't suddenly blast significantly more loudly than your favorite TV show.The Elite VSX-21TXH is also Works with iPhone certified, so you can enjoy your favorite songs or downloaded video on your larger system. Easily connect your iPhone to the front USB input with the included cable, and start navigating your playlists with the graphical user interface with on-screen album art (when available). And if you are looking to expand your entertainment throughout the house and are consulting with a custom installer, the Elite VSX-21TXH is the perfect solution as it provides up to two zones of A/V distribution.

5.0 out of 5 stars super reciever, November 22, 2009

By	Michael J. Herr - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

this is a great reciever. you can custumize everything. change volume on every speaker. skip the inputs you dont use. as for the customer who cant stop it from switching to tv the he should plug his cable into the tv slot and change the name from tv to whatever he wants. Though i feel it could use 1 more set of component inputs. this is a top notch reciever. be careful when you buy it from a third party. they only give you 1 years warrenty compared to its normal 2 year warrenty the video upscale is great. its the same upscaler thats in the vsk1019hk and the vsx-23txh. the only difference from the vsx23 and vsx21 is 1 more hdmi video output and a front hdmi input and a 3rd zone. This reciever is not for the beginner hometheater enthusiest.

Amazon Verified Purchase

After readind ALOT of reviews, I decided to upgrade from a five year old Sony.Plenty of power, good upscaling, lots of connections, and easy speaker settup.The only issue is the instruction book. It was written poorly,some things you have to figure out yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT piece of audio gear! Made for pure audiophiles, December 16, 2009

By	vh "nhlsammy" (NYC) - See all my reviews

Manual is kind of clumsy and confusing, took me a while to figure this out but after I did it rocks. The remote stinks, I would reccommend getting a Universal RF20 which made this such a better performer. Bad that it does not have any power control inputs in the back like the old receivers had. I used to mic to set up the system but it tuned it way too flat and with no bass. Since I am an expert with audio I dialed it myslef manually and now it purs... Great purchase but be warned it can be difficult to setup.

Cheers!
