Pioneer VSX-826-K

The VSX-826 K represents a significant alternative in terms of audio and video performance. As the first amplifier in the range to offer 7-channel amplification, it allows for total immersion in the heart of the action via the Dolby Pro Logic IIz format combined with 3D compatibility. Internal decoding of HD audio formats is of course present, complemented by our technologies that enhance acoustic reproduction such as Phase Control and MCACC (automatic acoustic calibration).

Video processing is not left out and will satisfy the demanding cinephile. In addition to its Deep Colour, x.v.Colour and 1080p-24 Hz compatibility, the VSX-826 K is the first model in our range to allow the conversion of analog video signals to digital. Moreover, it offers upscaling to 1080p format to adapt sources to different High Definition screens. The OSD menu via HDMI that equips the amplifier offers simplified and intuitive use.
