Pioneer VSX-832-B Black

The VSX-832-B with a black, elegant design gives you a home cinema experience enhanced with networking features so you can enjoy entertainment from multiple sources. The receiver has built-in dual-band WiFi and Bluetooth, so it can handle any modern data transfer method. You can choose from AirPlay, DLNA, Chromecast, and FireConnect streaming, as well as playback from Spotify, Deezer, and others (some after the summer 2016 update). With sophisticated 32bit / 384kHz DAC, the receiver uses the audio potential even better than the previous models in this class. This allows it to showcase all the high definition formats in their full glory.

Cinema-quality audio

The receiver supports renowned surround sound standards such as Dolby True HD, DTS-HD Master Audio, and DTS-ES / DTS Neo: 6. Enjoy high-definition Blu-ray audio tracks without compression and in high-definition, so you don’t lose a single acoustic detail and the background music gains the power and impact its creators intended. Get closer to the original studio recordings than ever before. Multi-channel HD formats are decoded and precisely adjusted for individual room acoustics using Pioneer's patented automated MCACC calibration.

Modern HDMI set

Now you no longer need a TV with a pile of HDMI ports to connect a Blu-ray player, multimedia centre, game console, computer and more. The receiver has just one input for the TV and has 4 HDMI input jacks compatible with Ultra HD video signal. Experience four times the detail with 4K UltraHD resolution. Built-in video optimisation converts SD and HD content to up to 4K at up to 60fps for extra smooth image. The output picture will always be exquisite. Another great bonus is that the receiver supports the modern HDR format, creating extremely high contrast and improving the visibility of backlit scenes.

VSX-832-B creates great musical soundscape

If you prefer to listen to music instead of watching movies, just play your favourite stereo audio formats. Enjoy the true studio quality courtesy to WAV and FLAC. The receiver also plays the Direct Stream Digital (DSD) format used in Super Audio CDs with a sampling frequency of up to 5.6MHz. And do not be surprised if the older, compressed recordings suddenly start sounding surprisingly fresh and natural. Pioneer has dozens of years of experience in recovering lost signal components and has used that experience to create Advanced Sound Retriever. You can also use your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth.
