The power to make home theater performance as entertaining as you want. Introducing the Pioneer VSX-1022-K Audio Video Receiver.
Elegance overshadowed only by technological excellence, the Pioneer VSX-1022-K delivers stellar home theater performance. With 560 watts of clear audio reproduction, the VSX-1022-K gives you connectivity options for your latest high-definition home theater components, and digital 1080p video from any source.
As connected to mobile devices as you are.
The VSX-1022-K is ready to bring you entertainment from new sources such as smartphones, tablets, PCs, select Android devices and thumb drives. It is also another reflection of how Pioneer was a leader in embracing the Apple experience. Specifically designed to be compatible with iPod, iPhone, and iPad devices, your receiver comes with a front panel USB port and USB/video cable to access all your music, videos, streaming content, and photos on Apple devices without buying a separate dock. And for 2012, the USB port has been upgraded to handle uncompressed 192Khz/24-bit FLAC music files for true audiophile level performance.
Plus, since your iPhone, iPod and iPad charge automatically when connected, it's the ultimate plug-and-play integration with your home theater. Enjoy music with iTunes album art, share videos and movies, downloaded TV shows from iTunes, photos, web content from YouTube and much more. Got a call? Your iPhone mutes when you receive it. When it comes to control, use the Apple device directly or push a single button on the VSX-1022-K's front panel to switch control to the included preset remote and intuitive on-screen menu.
AirPlay
With AirPlay, stream music from iTunes to the VSX-1022-K and play it through your home theater system without docks or cables. Simply connect the receiver to your home network via Ethernet, and it instantly becomes the hub for playback of your iTunes music from your connected Apple device or networked computer.
You can stream your music straight from your PC or Mac, iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to the VSX-1022-K at the touch of a button. Listen to your favorite song in your car using your iPhone, leave your car mid song and walk into your home. Using the AirPlay icon on your iPhone, select the VSX-1022-K. When you do, it'll power up automatically and continue your favorite song right where you left off.
You can even view song title, artist, track time as well as album art on an HDMI connected TV. With AirPlay, just because your iTunes music is on your computer doesn?t mean it has to stay there.
Connect to your PC Music Files or Internet Radio
The VSX-1022-K's networking ability opens up an entirely new world of possibilities. A rear panel Ethernet port allows full integration into your home network, with Windows 7 and DLNA 1.5 certification, a whole new level of entertainment options are at your fingertips.

Ultimate Sound Control
With 7 channel power, the audio experience has never been clearer or more realistically reproduced.

Pioneer also includes all of the Dolby and DTS surround formats, including the newest Dolby Pro Logic IIz height channel.
The VSX-1022-K also features Pioneer's exclusive Auto Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration system (MCACC). Using measurements from every speaker?s connection, noting size and distance from the listening point as well as sound levels and timbre, it gives you a calibrated and customized multi-channel listening experience.
Filling in areas where minute details were left out during the compression process, even compressed audio like WMA, MP3 and AAC is enhanced with another Pioneer exclusive, Advanced Sound Retriever.
Versatile Speaker Configuration
With 7 channels of amplification, and 9 channels of speaker connection, the VSX-1022-K lets you decide the speaker set-up you want. Go with a conventional 7.1 surround sound system with surround back speakers, or try a front height experience. Or go with a 7.1 system in the living room and assign amplification to a set of B speakers in another room for dedicated music listening.
