Features

The latest development of the Surround Enhancer will make optional rear speakers available for full surround sound. When using speakers with Dolby Atmos support, two front speakers and one center speaker are enough to create surround sound for the new audio format. The VSX-832 is the first Pioneer AV receiver to support object-oriented 5.1 Dolby Atmos and DTS: X audio. In turn, the VSX-932 with sound support 7.2 plays audio tracks in movies according to 5.2.2. It supports power up to 130 W / channel (6 Ohms).

Design and build

Video with HDR (High Dynamic Range) 6 in HDR 10 or Dolby Vision formats is transmitted to a compatible display, as well as BT.2020 video format, which provides the picture with especially rich colors. In addition, the new receivers support the Super Resolution feature, which uses ultra-high resolution technology developed for the Pioneer BDP-LX88 flagship Blu-ray player. Super Resolution - 4K video scaling technology designed for HD content.

You do not even need to connect a signal source to listen to music. Because the Pioneer VSX-832 itself is a source of software thanks to Spotify, Tidal, and Deezer's built-in streaming services.

Setup

The MCACC (Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration System), developed with the assistance of professional recording studios, creates the perfect acoustic environment. Using a special microphone, the parameters of the propagation of sound waves are measured, the location and dimensions of the speakers, their sensitivity are determined, after which the system compensates for the unevenness of the frequency response.
