Isn't it time you got more out of movies and music? The versatile VSX-D514-S powers five channels with 100 watts and features advanced surround processing, with DTS, Dolby Digital, and Dolby Pro Logic II decoding. Component Video Switching provides a connection for DVD players and even high-definition TV tuners, providing convenient control through the receiver without any degradation in picture quality. The VSX-D514-S's sophisticated, heavy-duty construction utilizes one compact circuit board for all digital signal processing, for exceptional purity. It also features a high-end 192kHz/24-bit D-A converter (DAC) and a double-precision Motorola 48-bit DSP engine that's used in top theaters worldwide. The VSX-D514-S is ready for DVD-Audio and SACD next-gen audio, and provides the convenience of Quick Setup and a remote that also controls other Pioneer "SR" equipment. Also available in silver (VSX-D514-K).
Engineered For Excellence
The advanced simplicity of design and the superior quality of the chips, power supplies and materials that make up the VSXD514S prove that Pioneer A/V receivers are indeed the industry standard. The Digital Core Engine incorporates all digital signal processing into one powerful, compact circuit board, shortening the signal path and minimizing radiation. Its double-precision, high-speed 150 MIPS Motorola 48-bit DSP is the same chip used in Dolby and DTS theater systems worldwide, as well as in the creation of music, movies, and television shows. The benefits? Low jitter, a super-accurate PLL sound-processing clocking module, and virtually no audio degradation. Plus, this processors's low impedance stabilizes power throughout the chip, preventing internal noise that can affect signal purity.
Less Heat and Direct Construction
The main components of the VSXD514S's Pioneer Hybrid Amplification system are built into a single integrated circuit, for perfect precision even when processing high-level current. Since heat influences the amount of bias an output transistor requires to reproduce sound, Pioneer engineered a special Thermal Compensation Transistor to maintain correct bias levels regardless of temperature, minimizing total harmonic distortion. To eliminate undesireable electrical influence, Direct Construction keeps critical circuitry separate (for example, digital from analog, and video from audio). Also, the positioning of key parts is carefully mapped out, to optimize signal transmission efficiency.
Surround Yourself with Pristine Sound
In addition to the more traditional surround sound formats, the VSXD514S offers Pioneer's exclusive DSP technology, which lets you experience movies and music as never before. Virtual Surround Back mode deepens and broadens the sound stage by creating a "phantom" rear surround effect without using a surround back speaker. 5-Channel Stereo mode simulates a regular stereo acoustic environment while using all your system's speakers to create Original Surround modes. For the most compelling entertainment possible, Advanced Theater DSP modes create various simulated sound stages depending on the room environment and applications (choose between Cinema, Music, TV, Game, and Sports). And, Expanded Theater mode extends the depth, breadth, and dynamism of Dolby Surround sources, for a more faithful reproduction of 5-channel sound.
Quality Connections
To enjoy cinema-quality sound from the VSXD514S, just connect a Pioneer DVD player and suround system speakers and you're ready. For CD-R/RW, MD, and other recording media, this receiver has two digital coaxial inputs and 1 optical input. You also get two component video inputs to maintain the signal integrity from such digital sources as DVD and DTV.
Quick Set-Up, Friendly Control
The VSXD514S offers the ultimate convenience of Quick Set-up. Just input the room size and the number of connected speakers, and the optimal levels and delay time will be set automatically. Component Video Switching simplifies your system when you add more components, and the smart, comprehensive remote control makes set-up and operation simple.
