Pioneer announces a new line of entry level and mid-range AV receivers that deliver a dynamic music and sound experience to your living room. All of the new models (Aside from the entry-level VSX-420) can be enhanced with wireless Bluetooth audio streaming for Bluetooth-enabled devices¹ and are capable of supporting the 3D experience with the latest HDMI version 1.4.
Consumers looking for the ultimate AV control centre with seamless iPhone and iPod touch integration will find it in Pioneer’s new “Works with iPhone” certified receivers which can be controlled by your iPod or iPhone with Pioneer’s new iControlAV app. This new handy application turns compatible iPhone and iPod touch devices into a fully functioning remote control for Pioneer’s new range of 7.1 channel AV receivers.

“With our new receivers and iControlAV application, consumers can be assured of the highest level of home entertainment. We continue to innovate the AV receiver category by providing a seamless user experience for iPhone and iPod touch users”, said Philippe Coppens, Technology and Product Information Manager at Pioneer Europe, “The addition of Bluetooth audio streaming via an optional adaptor allows the user to keep his phone close by to answer calls or select songs without the limitations of a wired connection to the receiver. By equipping all models from the VSX-520-K/S onwards with 3D HDMI 1.4, the new receivers are able to provide 3D high definition connectivity for Blu-ray.”
