With 150W of power across 7 channels, the VSX-922 brings a new dimension to HD sources. Equipped with 6 HDMI inputs compatible with 3D / ARC, it supports Deep Colour, x.v.Colour technologies and 1080P/ 24 Hz signals.

Moreover, it integrates new advanced video settings derived from our expertise in the field of imaging, notably the Stream Smoother process adapted for compressed streams.

The audio processing is equally impressive, relying on our renowned MCACC Advanced acoustic calibration system (9-channel equalization), Standing Wave Control, and Phase Control minimizing phase shifts due to successive filtering applied during media recording.

Our PQLS technology is also present, enabling a significant reduction in jitter (distortion) when connected to a Pioneer Blu-ray player. The Auto Level Control and Advanced Sound Retriever processes offer lively and detailed listening experiences from your various audio sources, all with complete peace of mind.

The VSX-922 incorporates simplified ergonomics and unparalleled ease of use thanks to our free Pioneer iControlAV2012 app (iOS and Android) and the AV Navigator process, simplifying and optimizing the amplifier’s operation. Wi-Fi ready and Bluetooth ready (optional adapters), it allows quick access to its extensive multimedia functions.
