Accurate duplication of these world-famous dubbing studios' monitoring methods in your listening room intensifies the emotion and excitement of what you see and hear. Push Your Senses to Their Limits Advanced Direct Energy Power Amplifier — Designed by Pioneer for Optimum Sound Quality (VSX-AX4ASi-S(-G), VSX-AX2AS-S, VSX-2016AV-S, VSX-1016V-S) Digital Video Converter featuring DCDi® by Faroudja (VSX-AX4ASi-S(-G), VSX-AX2AS-S) Pioneer Video Converter up-scales analogue signals to 1080i/720p for output via HDMI terminals. These A/V receivers feature Faroudja's DCDi® video processing chip. This technology eliminates the jagged edges which appear during i/p conversion, and offer a smooth and natural picture. The Digital Video Converter also enables up/down conversion of video signals. You can choose video output according to the input terminals of your display. The picture adjustment function lets you adjust brightness, contrast, and hue of analogue video output. Digital Video Converter with HDMI Output 1080p Compatible HDMI 1080i/720p Compatible Power amplification in all channels is performed by originally-designed Advanced Direct Energy Power Amplifier, featuring minimum energy loss and minimum interference between circuits. These features combine to deliver high-quality sound that is close to the original. The device features "low-impedance, high-current" design, which minimises the impedance at the final output stage. This effectively reduces the loss of the signals. The advanced amplifier also reduces the electric/magnetic interference from the final output stage which significantly affects the sound quality. This is made possible by the compact design of the circuit — with the minimum size of the loop — for the final output stage. What's more, the device features a temperature compensation function for bias circuitry. Temperature of the output circuit is subject to change due to the speaker-driving current. The temperature fluctuations cause bias point deviation, which lowers the sound quality. The power amplifier for the new A/V receivers effectively compensates for the fluctuations to minimise the bias point deviation. Create an Ideal Acoustic Environment with Ease — with Advanced MCACC (Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration System) (VSX-AX4ASi-S(-G), VSX-AX2AS-S, VSX-2016AV-S) The ultimate goal of every one of our audio, visual, and other forms of entertainment has always been delivering the complete heart and soul of artists through all the latest technological innovations. Composite Video DCDi® by Faroudja * Availability of Component-to-S-Video/Composite conversion varies depending on the content. Phase Control — An Innovation for Multi-Channel Sound Compensation (VSX-AX4ASi-S(-G), VSX-AX2AS-S, VSX-2016AV-S, VSX-1016V-S) When amplifying multi-channel audio signals, receivers use Low Pass Filter (LPF) for processing low-frequency signals for subwoofer output. This extra process causes "phase lag", or approximately 5 msec delay of low-frequency signals with respect to those of main channels. The delayed bass affects the quality of mainchannel sound and makes the sound lack synchronisation. The latest A/V receivers incorporate Pioneer's Phase Control technologies, which apply a new bass management system to effectively compensate for the phase lag between subwoofer channel and the main channels. This significantly improves the multi-channel sound without any extra operation. The "Phase Control" Compensates for the Delay of Low-Frequency Sound A/V Receiver Source Speakers PHASE CONTROL Acoustic Calibration by MCACC Before Calibration After Calibration Speaker distance, sound pressure level, and frequency response are all uneven. Speaker distance, sound pressure level, and frequency response are all equalised. The sound field is automatically measured using the supplied mic. SET-UP MIC Calibration SET-UP MIC Speaker sizes and number of speakers are automatically detected. Auto MCACC with 5-Band EQ (VSX-1016V-S, VSX-816-S, VSX-516-S) MCACC allows you to duplicate the acoustic environment of the mixing studio, where recordings and soundtracks are mixed and mastered. With the Pioneer A/V receivers, the system — complete with a microphone — compensates for differences in speaker size, speaker level, and speaker distance, and equalizes response with 5-Band EQ, all automatically. Standing Wave Control (VSX-AX4ASi-S(-G), VSX-AX2AS-S, VSX-2016AV-S) Acoustic standing waves occur when the sound waves coming out of your speaker system resonate with those reflecting off the walls. This can have a negative effect on the overall sound, especially in certain lower frequencies. The result is often an overly resonant and "boomy" sound, depending on the speaker positioning, your listening location, and the shape of the room. The new Pioneer A/V receivers' Standing Wave Control effectively moderates resonance. This technology also prevents the inaccurate EQ settings that can be caused by standing waves. Original Frequency Standing Wave Control Filter OFF ON -80.0 -80.0 -130.020 Amplitude [dB] True to our name, Pioneer is always boldly striding into new worlds of audio/visual innovation. We were the first to use cutting-edge technologies such as HDMI, i.LINK and Dolby Digital in actual products. HDMI realized all-digital, audio and video signal transmission with a single cable. Our dedication to the finest acoustics and digital technology has produced new features such as MCACC (an innovative automated acoustic calibration system) and Phase Control (a multi-channel sound compensation technology). The best sound engineers from prestigious recording studios such as AIR Studios contributed their expertise to some of the lineup. The Advanced MCACC allows easy setup of surround sound for creating an ideal listening environment — close to that of a professional mixing studio. Complete with a microphone, the system compensates for differences in speaker size, speaker level, and speaker distance, and equalizes response with 9-band EQ, all automatically. The Advanced MCACC applies "time axis" in measuring the listening environment's acoustic characteristics and in applying frequency response compensation. This enables the system to distinguish between direct sound and room reverberation, resulting in even more precise, minute adjustment of frequency response for human ears. The system also permits "X-Curve Compensation" of frequency response — a livingroom sized version of an international frequency response standard (ISO2969) used for designing movie theatres and dubbing suites.

If you connect the player with a compatible A/V receiver or Plasma TV via the HDMI terminal, the new technology allows all-digital signal processing and transmission — with high 10-bit precision thanks to the newly-developed "VQE9" videoencoding LSI. Because the signals remain digital, they are free from conversion loss, delivering pictures with less noise and finer details than those with analogue conversion. The player also converts up pixels for HDMI output. VQE9 Video-Encoding LSI (DV-989AVi-S(-G)) The Advanced Digital Direct Pixel Drive™ features newly-developed VQE9 video-encoding LSI. This state-of-the-art device allows expansion to 10 bits, and all the processes for improving picture quality are performed on a single chip, including: • Effective noise reduction with Component Frame DNR Pro • Highly-precise motion detection for more natural textures and smoother edges of moving images from video sources • A wide variety of picture adjustment options • High-resolution progressive pictures (Dual PureCinema Progressive Scan) "Two-Dimensional Resolution Expander": Pixel Conversion IC for HDMI (DV-989AVi-S(-G)) The Advanced Digital Direct Pixel Drive™ also features the "TwoDimensional Resolution Expander" pixel conversion IC, which upconverts traditional DVD video signals to high-definition resolution in the most appropriate way for the connected monitor or TV. When the DVD player is connected to a DLP projector with 1280 x 720 pixels, for example, the pixel conversion IC up-converts the progressive 720 x 480 signals to progressive 1280 x 720 signals which exactly fit the pixel count of the projector. The signals generated by the MPEG decoder pass through the Two-Dimensional Resolution Expander, and then are output via HDMI to an HDMI-compatible monitor or TV. HDMI Interface (DV-989AVi-S(-G), DV-696AV-S, DV-490V-S) These Pioneer DVD players feature HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface), an industrysupported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. Connect the DVD player with our A/V receiver and PDP, for example, and HDMI's all-digital signal processing gives you superior pictures and sound — with no loss. It does this by allowing transmission of both audio and video signals with no D/A or A/D conversion, through easy singlecable connection. By combining HDMI with 1080i/720p upscaler, you can deliver optimal high-quality images for the PDP. All-Digital Signal Connection via HDMI Terminal Analogue Connection Original Picture Displayed Picture 108 MHz/14-bit Video D/A Converter (DV-989AVi-S(-G)) When video signals are output to non-HDMI devices, the DV-989AVi-S(-G) uses the high-grade 108 MHz/14-bit Video D/A Converter. Combining 8x oversampling with high 14-bit precision, this premium device ensures superior linearity by preventing phase fluctuations. The converter also controls overshoot and undershoot without affecting the original signals, even when the picture has high contrast. Dual PureCinema Progressive Scan On DVD, movies are recorded in 24 fps format. To play back filmoriginated sources on NTSC TV, additional frames are inserted for output in the NTSC format (30 fps). Pioneer's 2-3 Pull-down PureCinema Progressive Scan Technology features highly accurate insertion and reallocation of frames for progressive scanning. The result: smooth, natural, film-like images free of bothersome artifacts like jagged edges on moving objects. All of the new Pioneer DVD players feature PAL/NTSC dual system (with PAL-NTSC video converter offered by most units), and allow progressive scanning with PAL sources, too. Dual PureCinema Progressive Scan, the advanced version of the Pioneer's trademark technology, enables the DVD players to provide this unique feature.

Andrew Jones, chief engineer of the TAD-M1, acted as sound advisor to ensure the success of this ambitious project. Pioneer's EX Series was conceived with the aim of creating true sound perfection to fulfil the desires of audiophiles with the most discerning of taste. That's why these premium speakers call not only on the expertise of TAD engineers but comprise many of the technical elements used in the renowned TAD-M1 — widely considered to be one of the premier speaker systems available. You will certainly hear the difference when you listen to SACD and DVD-Audio discs. This superlative speaker collection reproduces today's advanced reproduction formats with flawless precision. Coherent Source Transducer One-piece Cone and Centre Cap To ensure that all sound — direct and reflected — arrives at the listening position with identical timbre, the EX series employs TAD's exclusive CST (Coincident Source Transducer) driver technology. The Beryllium tweeter is mounted in the centre of the magnesium midrange driver, allowing the sound directivity to be precisely controlled at all frequencies. The resulting aligned sound delivery is extremely smooth and coherent. Unlike conventional drivers, the problems with phase and off-axis frequency response have been totally eradicated. Conventional speaker cones have a separate centre cap, to make it easier to attach the cone to the voice coil. However, this design weakens the cone's mechanical integrity. The unique one-piece construction of the cone and centre cap that was created for the EX's Series' bass driver, combined with the improved rigidity of the Aramid fibre structure, produces a much stiffer and more rigid construction. Unwanted cone resonances are pushed beyond the bass driver's operating range, allowing the cone to accurately pass the coil movement on to the air and significantly improve the accuracy of sound reproduction.

This has resulted in an ultra-strong tweeter diaphragm with perfectly solid piston performance. It precisely reproduces the audio signal; limited distortion or resonance is added to the audio performance. This pure and solid performing diaphragm makes Beryllium tweeters ideal for reproducing the high frequencies of DVD-Audio and SACD, up to 100 kHz. These revolutionary audio formats recreate sound as it actually exists in the real world, with all its original artistic qualities intact. "Phase control" technology is the concept of managing the time and phase response of the speakers, amplifiers and software to realize the dramatic high-quality sound during multi-channel sound reproduction. All the systems use the same CST and woofer drivers, which along with the crossover allows for perfect matching of the phase characteristics of all the speakers. Additionally, S-W1EX subwoofer has a low pass filter (LPF) bypass function installed. In combination with appropriate receiver, the phase response of the complete multi-channel system can be optimized for uncompromising surround sound reproduction. Precision Curve The Mark of Excellence In traditional speaker systems, several speaker drivers are aligned on a flat baffle. Because the sounds from each driver reach the listener from different distances, this composition inevitably leads to a small degree of confusion in overall sound. With Pioneer's EX Series, a revolutionary baffle with a precise curved surface has been realized to solve this problem. This is the "precision curve". By positioning the speaker drivers on a three-metre radius sphere centred on the listener, the time it takes for the sound to reach the listener's ears from each of the drivers is precisely adjusted.

Oak The Secrets of Mature Resonance Pioneer Pure Malt speakers have been crafted from century-old white oak, whose rich acoustics come from decades of storing fine whiskey. A Pioneer engineer discovered this sound when he tapped on a piece of whiskey barrel and immediately recognized the intriguing difference compared to new wood. The cut of the wood was also superior "masame" (straight grain) instead of "itame" (bent or irregular grain). Because of this superb quality, a top whiskey maker had already been transforming the wood into elegant furniture, believing that "trees which took a century to grow should be used for a century too." By collaborating with this whiskey maker, Pioneer transformed these special visuals and acoustics into the new A-A4SPT-PM Pure Malt Speakers. Whiskey ages in white oak barrels for fifty to seventy years. During that time, subtle interactions take place between the tree sap and the alcohol, making the inner structure of the timber highly resonant. Here at Pioneer, it was an interesting challenge to shape the boards of whiskey barrels into speaker cabinets, with the curved wood first needing to be flattened out and dried. Some cabinets still feature authentic barrel nail marks or whiskey stains. "Torafu" (tiger stripe) marks are proof that the timber is carefully-chosen masame. The splendid colour of the wood will also continue to deepen over the course of time. It is our fond hope that the unique characteristics of these speakers will be appreciated like exquisite antiques. "Torafu" marks are proof of a fine "masame" cut.
