RECEIVERS

A HERITAGE OF GREAT PERFORMANCES.

At Pioneer, great sound has been our business for decades. Today, we continue that legacy with every

song, movie, MP3, or vinyl record you play. Whatever the medium, every Pioneer component is engineered

to retain the integrity of the original recording. We employ some of the most advanced processors and

power amplifiers, with connections that allow for a pure, fast signal transfer. To further our technology we

partner with leaders in the film, music, and computer industries. That’s why discriminating listeners

continue to trust Pioneer. They don’t take chances with their audio/video performance. Neither do we.

Engineered for Excellence

Our singular dedication to building uncompromising A/V

receivers is reflected in the advanced simplicity of their

design and construction. In the superior quality of their

chips, power supplies, and materials. And in the

adrenaline rush you’ll feel every time you hit the Power

button. Here are the technologies that once again have

made Pioneer A/V receivers the industry standard.

Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration System (MCACC)

To achieve optimal audio performance, your

speakers need to be fine-tuned for the

room they’re in. Room size and shape, floor

and wall textures, the quality and relative size of your

speakers — all of these factors affect performance.

Pioneer has a solution: our A/V receivers offer the most

precise acoustic calibration available without

professional support. It’s called Multi-Channel Acoustic

Calibration System, or MCACC, and it works in any room

regardless of shape or size. It’s available in our

VSX-1014TX-K, VSX-D914-K, and VSX-D814-K/S, and in

our VSX-D514-K/S in Quick Set-up mode.

Pioneer Digital Core Engine

Our Digital Core Engine incorporates all digital signal

processing into one powerful, compact circuit board,

shortening the signal path and minimizing radiation.

Its double-precision, high-speed (180 MIPS for

VSX-1014TX-K; 150 MIPS for other models) 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. The benefits? Low

jitter, a super-accurate PLL sound-processing clocking

module, and virtually no audio degradation. Plus, this

processor’s low impedance stabilizes power throughout

the chip, preventing internal noise that can affect signal

purity.

Automatic MCACC Set-up (VSX-1014TX-K and

VSX-D914-K) 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 VSX-1014TX-K even

has a 5-band equalizer for more precise adjustment.

Manual MCACC Set-up (VSX-D814-K/S) provides special

built-in test tones to guide the connection of each

speaker, letting you use the front left speaker as a

reference to fine-tune channel level and channel delay.

With MCACC, you can have the ultimate home

entertainment system — one that is customized for your

own home.

A simply smarter design:

the VSX-1014TX-K’s massive heat

sink typifies Pioneer’s attention to

detail and simplicity of design.

RECEIVER TECHNOLOGY

Advanced Direct Energy MOSFET

(VSX-1014TX-K)

As developers of MOSFET analog signal

boosting in multi-channel A/V receivers,

we’ve pushed the envelope again with

Advanced Direct Energy MOSFET circuitry.

This new advancement offers high-power

drivability, ultra-efficient amplification,

stable imaging, and low energy loss.

The VSX-1014TX-K is designed with heat

compensation in the power chip and an

AC/DC isolated amp module to minimize

power imbalances that can distort the

sound stage. Power amplification units are

placed symmetrically to precisely optimize

each MOSFET condition and to maximize

electric power. As a result, each channel

achieves powerful output, exceptional

sound quality, and clarity in every audible

detail, even at low impedance.

temperature, minimizing total harmonic

Evolving Our Tradition

We pioneered receivers featuring Dolby

Digital, Dolby THX, and DTS 96/24, the

first compressed multi-channel format to

support 96kHz/24-bit resolution. Now, our

6- and 7-channel receivers offer new

Pro Logic IIx for 7.1-channel playback of

traditional stereo and 5.1/6.1-channel

content. Our VSX-1014TX-K, VSX-D914-K,

and VSX-D814-K/S can apply Dolby Digital

EX and DTS-ES decoding to 6.1-channel

output, and their DTS NEO:6 capability

can produce 6.1-channel surround from

2-channel sources.

Direct Construction

To eliminate undesirable electrical influence,

Direct Construction keeps critical circuitry

separate (for example, digital from analog,

and video from audio). Also, the positioning

of key parts is carefully mapped out, to

optimize signal transmission efficiency.

(See diagram, below.)

THX* Select (VSX-1014TX-K)

Famed director George Lucas established

THX technology as the big-theater audio

reference standard. Now, Pioneer advances

home theater surround once again with THX

Select, designed for high-impact multi-

channel audio in rooms up to 2,000 cubic

feet, such as your media room. The “THX”

certification requires the receiver’s built-in

amplifiers to meet extremely rigorous

guidelines relating to sound fidelity and

power output, ensuring an excellent

Pioneer Hybrid Amplification

(VSX-D914-K, VSX-D814-K/S

and VSX-D514-K/S)

The amplification system’s main

components are built onto a single

integrated circuit, for perfect precision even

when processing high-level current. Since

heat influences the amount of bias an

Advanced Surround Modes

Pioneer’s exclusive DSP technology lets you experience

movies and music as never before. Virtual Surround

Back mode deepens and broadens the sound stage by

creating a "phantom" rear surround effect — without

using a surround back speaker. 5/6/7-Channel Stereo

mode simulates a regular stereo acoustic environment

while using all your system’s speakers to create Original

Surround modes. For the most compelling entertainment

possible, Advanced Theater DSP modes create various

simulated sound stages depending on the room

environment and applications (choose between Cinema,

Music, TV, Game, and Sports). And, Expanded Theater

mode extends the depth, breadth, and dynamism of

Dolby Surround sources, for a more faithful reproduction

of 5-channel sound.

Versatile Connectivity

Pioneer A/V receivers are expandable and future-

compatible. The input terminals on the VSX-1014TX-K,

VSX-D914-K, and VSX-D814-K/S are configured for

7.1-channel processing for DTS-ES, DTS, Dolby Digital,

and other multi-channel sources such as DVD-Audio and

SACD. To enjoy cinema-quality sound, just connect a

Pioneer DVD player and surround system speakers and

you’re ready.

For CD-R/RW, MD, and other recording media, each

receiver has up to two digital coaxial inputs and digital

optical inputs, plus a digital output*. All models also

feature two component video inputs to maintain the

signal integrity from such digital sources as DVD

and DTV. Further, the VSX-1014TX-K, VSX-D914-K, and

VSX-D814-K/S have one front optical terminal and each

unit has up to two optical inputs** for more flexible

connection.

* Except for the VSX-D514-K/S.

** The VSX-D514-K/S has one.

Quick Set-up, Friendly Control

Besides the professional-quality precision of MCACC

Set-up, select Pioneer receivers offer the ultimate

convenience of Quick Set-up. Just input the room size

and the number of connected speakers, and the optimal

levels and delay time will be set automatically.

Component Video Switching simplifies your system when

you add more components, and our smart,

comprehensive remote controllers make set-up and

operation simple.
