PIONEER VSX AV RECEIVERS
by Jacob Stow
Listed under: AV
Published: Thursday, May 06, 2010
New from Pioneer is a line of entry-level and mid-range AV receivers, all but the lowest-specced of which can be enhanced with wireless Bluetooth audio streaming, and are capable of supporting 3D content courtesy of the latest HDMI 1.4 specification. Also comprising the VSX-520, -820, -920, -1020 (pictured) and -1025, the new range benefits from the likes of Dolby Prologic IIz decoding and impressive iPhone functionality, models from the VSX-820 onwards including 'Works with iPhone' certification and an iPhone button, which conveniently transfers iPod navigation control and on-screen display from the receiver's remote control back to the connected iPhone or iPod touch. Elsewhere, all models in the range utilise Advanced Sound Retriever technology, which enhances compressed audio files by restoring critical data from compressed audio sources.

For those prepared to invest a bit more, from the VSX-920 onwards the receivers incorporate Internet Radio and Pioneer’s Precision Quartz Lock Mechanism, which works in combination with a compatible Pioneer Blu-ray player to eliminate timing errors. From the VSX-520 onwards, models also benefit from Multi-channel Acoustic Calibration, which adjusts speakers to deliver optimal performance.

The majority of the VSX range will be available from June, with the VSX-1025 arriving slightly later in July. SRPs have been set at £249 and £299 for the VSX-420 and VSX-520 respectively, whilst the VSX-1020 is priced at £700.
