Elite AV Receivers

New Model Introduction

Pioneer AV Receivers Bring Today’s Connected Lifestyle… Home.You can’t fake innovation. When it comes to engineering firsts, Pioneer Elite products read like a Who’s Who of industry-leading designs, raising the bar for excellence in home entertainment from the very beginning. The company who literally defined the home theater segment with the first surround-sound receiver continues the Elite tradition with powerful engineering advancements that you can see, hear and even feel. Every Elite Receiver offers unmatched connectivity and control flexibility, all built into the most user- and installer-friendly products available today. Elite is different by design, and the advantage is real.

Connectivity that doesn’t compromise. Because we don’t.When it comes to features and flexibility, Pioneer Elite AV Receivers take the lead by incorporating the industry’s most advanced digital connectivity—connectivity to drive even the most elaborate

home theater systems, today and tomorrow.

Start with more HDMI inputs than any other major brand; Elite AV Receivers feature up to nine 4K UltraHD/3D HDMI® inputs and four HD outputs for the growing number of HD sources in today’s homes.

The entire Elite AV Receiver family is network capable for wireless music streaming, custom control and app integration. HD/compressed, packaged, streaming or broadcast, Elite delivers the most exciting digital content.

Each Elite AV Receiver is MHL® 2.0-equipped to deliver high-definition play-back—up to 1080p video and 7.1 channel HD audio resolution—from compat-

ible Andriod smartphones and other MHL devices.

Elite AV Receivers make smartphones smarter.Don’t hold back—Pioneer Elite AV Receivers are designed to deliver the “smartest,” most aggressive smartphone connectivity, content and control strategy available today.

Elite AV Receivers offer the broadest smartphone connectivity for Apple devices through AirPlay® Wireless Audio to stream iTunes®—everyone’s favorite music solution—with album and track information, plus album art. Or stream music from Pandora®, Rhapsody® and other AirPlay-compatible apps. Whatever the music, Elite AV

Receivers serve it up with AirPlay.

With HTC ConnectTM—a first from Pioneer—Elite AV Receivers bring the same convenience and high-resolution sound quality to users of Android®-powered smartphones and tablets, making Elite

the most versatile receiver of choice. And Elite AV Re-ceivers work with powerful, user-friendly control apps for iOS and Android devices, including Air Jam that lets users share music and create playlists via a Bluetooth® connection.

Control freaks, rejoice. With such rich, high-quality content available from so many sources, and because all Elite AV Receivers control multiple zones, there’s nothing like living with a receiver with intelligence to rival the smartphone’s.

Custom installers, meet your new best friend.Pioneer Elite AV Receivers are designed—and designed better—with custom installers

in mind. Because Pioneer recognizes that custom doesn’t need to mean complicated. Along with features, performance and reliability, the Elite AV Receiver is designed and engineered with the most comprehensive two-way IP and RS-232 commands sets allowing for complete control over the receiver and the built-in services of the receiver.

Pioneer’s new PC Setup program allows installers to pre-configure the receiver’s settings even before the installation, read and rewrite settings and even reset the entire system from a remote location.

And because Pioneer is dedicated to the custom installation market, our long-standing relationships with custom-control partners like AMX, Control4, Crestron and other lead-ing brands let users and installers build a truly Elite whole-house system.
