True to their name, Pioneer Elite receivers are designed for a very select group of users – those who settle for nothing less than the best in audio and video. The state -of-the-art performance and specifications of these high-end products are the result of uncompromising standards of engineering and manufacturing, painstaking selection of parts and devices, and careful testing of each component. For 2011, this heritage continues with connectivity and control features never before seen in the AV industry.

Advanced Video Processing.
All of Pioneer’s 2011 Elite receivers benefit from direct energy amplification to provide the absolute best audio experience regardless of the source. Pioneer's exclusive Advanced MCACC room calibaration ensures an audio experience specifically tuned for your home theater. Elite A/V receivers have a strong heritage as the ultimate in video processing, and this year is no exception. Video processing from Anchor Bay® or Marvell® ensures high performance video conversion and scaling from analog as well as digital and lower resolution video sources. Elite receivers’ 1080p video scaling is second to none and with advanced video adjustments, you’re sure to have a picture catered to your unique tastes.
Total Control.
Control is at the core of the home theater experience. And Elite receivers make sure you can customize and fine-tune your home theater experience to exactly the way you enjoy it most. An industry-first, Pioneer's AVNavigator truly is an interactive owners manual that takes all the guesswork out of setting up your receiver. AVNavigator uses your networked PC to communicate directly with the receiver, walking you through the entire set-up of your home theater, step-by-step. Additionally, Elite receivers have been independently tested and certified by custom partners Control 4, Crestron, AMX, RTI, Universal Remote and Savant ensuring seamless integration that gives you a wide choice of advanced control options for IP, Serial, and IR commands. Pioneer Elite receivers are the perfect choice for a customized home installation.
Airplay.
One of the most exciting new features of Pioneer's Elite receivers is AirPlay. With AirPlay you can stream music from iTunes to the receiver and play it through your home theater system. Simply connect the receiver to your home network via Ethernet or Pioneer's optional wireless adapter (AS-WL300) and it instantly becomes the hub for playback of your iTunes music from your connected Apple device or networked computer.
Pioneer has always embraced developing technologies, and the Apple revolution is no exception. As passionate Apple users, Pioneer understands how deeply expectations run. That’s one reason Elite receivers are fully ready for out-of-the-box plug and play convenience and compatibility. In every device – iPod, iPhone and iPad – Apple enthusiasts carry a wealth of audio and video content that can now be delivered seamlessly into the experience of high definition multi-channel home theater.
