Designed for a small to medium-sized home theater, the Pioneer VSX-516-K delivers robust surround sound to a full-blown 7.1 speaker array, giving your movie soundtracks the rich audio they deserve. The receiver is built around Pioneer’s exclusive Hybrid Amplifier design, which drives 100 watts of power into each of its seven channels. Pioneer receivers also include such defining attributes as a digital signal processing (DSP) technique called Sound Retriever, which brings CD-quality audio to compressed formats; nine advanced surround modes; and a high-quality 192 kHz, 24-bit digital-to-analog converter that allows CDs and other audio sources to reach their full potential.
Movie buffs will dig the VSX-516-K’s multiple surround decoders, which include DTS-ES Discrete, DTS 96/24, DTS Neo:6, Dolby Digital EX, and Dolby Pro Logic IIx. In addition, you don’t need to buy a full 7.1 speaker setup to use the VSX-516-K out of the box. Not only does it support 5.1 and 6.1 systems, but you can also use the two surround-back amplifiers to drive the main front left and right speakers, giving you an extra 200 watts up front. It’s the perfect setup for music and movie fans who want a combination of power and versatility.
The VSX-516-K also includes a number of audio extras, including a dialogue enhancement function, a midnight listening mode that suppresses the volume during particularly loud passages (ideal for households with kids), an AM/FM tuner, and a virtual surround back mode that makes it sound as though you own rear surround speakers even when you don’t.
With a bevy of digital and analog inputs, the VSX-516-K can accommodate a ton of digital sources, such as DVD players, CD players, video game consoles, digital satellite receivers, and more. The rear panel options include three digital inputs (two coaxial and one optical), two component video inputs and one outputs, three composite inputs and one output, a 5.1-channel input, and a subwoofer preamp output.
The receiver measures 16.56 by 6.25 by 13.88 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a two-year warranty on parts and labor.
