Technology designed to serve one singular purpose: to get you closer to the artist's true intent. The VSX-521 supports high-definition audio formats to give your Blu-ray disc soundtracks unsurpassed audio quality. It also features Pioneer's Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration system (MCACC), providing a near studio-quality, multi-channel listening experience customized specifically to your listening environment.
And since the only thing that should shock you is how good it sounds, there's also an Auto Level Control that eliminates jarring volume changes between your favorite songs, albums and audio sources by equalizing volume differences between portable audio tracks or television programming. Not only do you get the most out of your existing movies and music, with the VSX-521 you're prepared for the next generation of 3D video content. With several HDMI inputs, you've got plenty of connectivity options for the growing number of high-definition sources available.
This AV receiver is fully ready for wireless Bluetooth audio from virtually any Bluetooth device, including iPod, iPhone, iPad, smartphones, laptops, etc. And you'll enjoy near cd-quality with Sound Retriever AIR technology, created specifically to enhance Bluetooth audio.
