Elite A/V Receivers

Pioneer's Elite AV Receivers with HDMI bring High Definition content to Life.

Imagine the ultimate home theater receiver—one capable of processing stunning 1080p video and the highest quality audio via simple, one-cable connectivity. With one of Pioneer's newest Elite A/V receivers featuring High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), that vision is reality. HDMI allows users to untangle themselves from the complicated wiring of the past and enjoy the full impact of today's high definition entertainment, including pulse-pounding, action-packed movies on Blu-ray^® discs.

As the only industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface, HDMI delivers crystal clear audio and video via a single cable. Optimized for HDTV, 5.1 Audio and 1080p video resolution, HDMI provides bandwidth to spare for processing large amounts of uncompressed, high-quality data. By incorporating HDMI inputs and outputs as well as industry-leading features and connectivity, Pioneer's newest receivers provide the finest, crispest image quality for today's high definition content.

Pioneer's full line of Elite A/V receivers come with HDMI terminals and HDMI audio –video switching capabilities. In addition to allowing 1080p signals to be relayed from a Blu-ray disc player to a compatible Pioneer plasma display, HDMI v1.3 provides other benefits, including:

• A high bit rate—up to 4.5 Gbps for HDTV
• Lossless transmission of picture and sound quality, since signals remain in a pure digital state without digital-to-analog or analog-to digital conversion.
• Compatibility with pixel counts of all ATSC digital television formats.
• Transmission with much smaller plugs than Digital Video Interface (DVI), which only handles video signals.
• Support for up to eight channels of audio.

With four models to choose from, Pioneer's Elite 7.1 channel A/V Receivers allow users to customize their ideal high definition home theater experience.

When it comes to facilitating and enhancing the finest high-definition viewing and listening experience, all while simplifying connectivity, HDMI is one of the most important developments in the consumer electronics market today. Pioneer's newest Elite A/V receivers with HDMI allow users to benefit from the newest, most innovative, single-cable connectivity, while reveling in the noticeably improved sound and image quality of today's Blu-ray and high definition entertainment.
