Our philosophy
Pioneer is dedicated to making your home theater
listening experience as close as possible to the vision of
the moviemakers and mastering engineer when they
created the or iginal soundtrack. We do this by focusing
on three important steps:
1 Achieving the highest possible sound quality
2 Allowing for customized acoustic calibration
according to any listening area
3 Fine-tuning the receiver with the help of world-
class studio engineers

been designated AIR Studios Monitor:
Features
• Direct Energy HD Amplifier

jointly development a unique class D amplifier called a
“Direct Energy HD (High Fidelity Class D) amplifier”. This
new generation reference amplifier offers outstanding
performance with high sound quality and reproduces the
latest in multi-channel digital contents.
• HDMI (Ver.1.4a with 3D, Audio Return Channel)
A compatible component is required to use the above
function.

Operation via LAN is possible from an iPhone or iPod
touch by downloading a Pioneer original application
(iControlAV) from the iTunes Store.

Your iPhone or iPod can be connected to the receiver’s
USB terminal to play the music/video files on the iPhone/
iPod.
•PQLS

Jitterless high quality playback is possible by connecting
a PQLS-compatible player with HDMI connections.

channel strengthens the sound field’s sense of three-
dimensionality and air, producing presence and expansion.

terminal, you can listen to Internet radio stations.

surround sound setup, which includes the advanced
