Pioneer VSX-930 7.2-CH DOLBY ATMOS, 4K UHD SCALER, WI-FI, BLUETOOTH 550 W AV Power Receiver  (Black)

Introducing Dolby Atmos, an amazing new audio technology that just made its debut in home theater receivers last year can turn an ordinary room in your home into the ultimate entertainment environment. With Dolby Atmos, sound comes from all directions, including overhead, to create a truly immersive and most lifelike experience with astonishing clarity, richness, depth and captivating surround sound of any audio format to date. If you're watching a plane take off onscreen, your ears will follow it down the runway along with your eyes, and as it flies overhead you might swear your hair is blowing back as it roars directly above you. It’s the first audio format based on audio objects rather than channels. The specific sounds of people, music, and action can be placed and moved all around you in three-dimensional space, so you feel like you’re inside the scene. Filmmakers can now craft a sound experience that’s in step with the visuals, putting you in the middle of the action. The VSX-930 supports a 5.1.2 Atmos setup. If you're ready to explore this new dimension in home theater sound, you'll just need to add a pair of in-ceiling speakers to your five-channel system, or pick up a pair of Atmos enabled upward-firing speakers to project sound off your ceiling and create the height effects that make an Atmos system so riveting. Optimised for Dolby Atmos, you can be amongst the first to experience the wonder of Dolby Atmos in your own home. Producing a multi-dimensional and totally immersive sound, Dolby Atmos has been hailed as the greatest advance in surround sound for 20 years - so don't miss out! Boasting seven HDMI sockets, including one at the front, it's easy to connect your whole system to the VSX-930. The front HDMI socket is also compatible with MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link) giving you the ability to transfer 1080p Full HD video from your smartphone or tablet. If you're waiting for more Atmos content before taking the plunge, there are other things you can do with the VSX-930's height channels in the meantime. Use them to power a pair of rear surrounds in a traditional 7-channel system, bi-amp your main speakers for increased clarity, or reassign them to get stereo sound in a separate room. A second HDMI out means you can also send video to a second zone. The VSX930 twin HDMI output are ideal for using with both a TV and a projector or AV in a second room. Don't want the kids distracting you while you're catching up on your Youtube shows? Pop in a Blu-ray for them to watch in Zone 2 while you enjoy your favorite shows in the living room — all conveniently managed by the remote control or iOS/Android application iControlAV5. The Pioneer also features an active Zone 2 output that's perfect for speakers in another room. Two subwoofer outputs with the option to use the second one in Zone 2 give you even further flexibility. Making the VSX930 the perfect match for your 4K TV, it offers both 4K pass-through and Full HD 4K upscaling. This means that any HD video source you watch can be scaled up to the highest definition possible. With support for HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) 2.2 it's also compatible with current and future 4K video. So when you decide to upgrade your visual experience, your audio experience will already be there. Now with Wi-Fi built-in, it's even easier to connect up the VSX-930 to your home network for instant access to your entire digital music library. The built-in Wi-Fi is dual band, supporting both 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz frequency channels, for steady and uninterrupted streaming even of Hi-Res Audio files. Added to this is Apple's AirPlay; letting you wirelessly stream music from any compatible Apple device to access their iTunes music library through the AV receiver - without the need for a separate home hub. The built-in Bluetooth receiver supports streaming from your smartphone, tablet, laptop, PC or other Bluetooth source. This AV receiver features A2DP and Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP). Supported codecs include SBC and AAC. This AV receiver is also DLNA certified (1.5) to work as a Digital Media Player and Digital Media Renderer. DLNA streaming gets you access to music stored on your PC, laptop or NAS and plays it through the receiver. Gapless playback is supported for DSD, WAV, FLAC, AIFF, AAC, MP3, and Apple Lossless files. There's also access to Internet radio making the VSX-930 a fully comprehensive streamer. vTuner® makes thousands of global Internet radio stations instantly available, and a comprehensive array of wireless music streaming options including Bluetooth and Apple AirPlay means you'll never be at a loss for good music.
