Features PREPARATION PREPARATION Advanced Multichannel Stereophonic Concept The VSX-49TX receiver is constructed with Pioneer's industry-leading advanced multichannel stereophonic concept. This means it is designed to reproduce music and movie soundtracks as close as possible to the intentions of the producer during mastering. The receiver uses a revolutionary 3-D Frame Construction technique and a Symmetrical Power Train Design, with high-performance Advanced Direct Energy MOS-FET output devices, generating 160 watts (FTC 6Ω) of power for 7 independent channels. True 32-bit Tri Digital Signal Processing is used for ultra realistic sound. i.LINK Digital Interface The i.LINK interface makes it possible to connect the receiver to i.LINK-equipped components such as a DVD player with a single cable and enjoy multichannel digital audio from SACD and DVD-A discs (if the player is compatible with these outputs), as well as digital audio from DVD-Video, CD and Video CD discs. In addition to simplified connection, jitterless audio is possible with Pioneer's PQLS* technology when playing DVD-As, audio CDs and SACDs. By supressing jitter, deterioration of audio quality is minimized and digital audio of the highest quality is realized. *PQLS (Precision Quartz Lock System) [rate control] Technology for high-precision transmission of digital audio over the i.LINK interface enabling jitterless digital-to-analog conversion using a precision quartz in this receiver. To make this feature work, it is only necessary that this receiver and one rate-control-compatible player are alive on the i.LINK network. Other advantages of using i.LINK include 'smart' features such as automatic configuration and automatic function selection-start playback on a i.LINK-equipped component and the receiver automatically selects the component for input. "i.LINK" and the i.LINK logo are trademarks of the Sony Corporation. Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration System (MCACC) In order to make setting up as easy as possible for users we have created the MCACC system. This unique and convenient way of getting good surround sound from the receiver makes trouble-free setup a snap. With the included microphone plugged into the front panel the MCACC system creates a monitoring environment to establish the parameters of the sound for the specific room you are using. The MCACC system adjusts the parameters to establish excellent surround sound effects and offers you studio quality home theater sound with minimum effort. Universal Player Compatibility (DVD Audio) This receiver features eight discrete channels of analog inputs, each with 96kHz/24bit A/D converters. This makes it ideal for use with all audio formats, including DVD-A, and allows very high quality digital processing. Furthermore, using the MCACC system you can setup this receiver for optimal DVD-A playback. Next Generation THX Standards and New Digital Formats The VSX-49TX is the first receiver in the world to be THX Ultra2 certified. Among the new THX technologies is ASA (Advanced Speaker Array), which can process any 5.1 channel source for 7.1 channel playback (THX Ultra2 Cinema and THX MusicMode), or 6.1 channel playback (THX Surround EX). THX technologies are also available when listening through an i.LINK interface. Naturally, you can also play all existing audio formats, including the recently developed Dolby Digital Surround EX, Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS 96/24 soundtracks and DTS-ES Extended Surround formats. On the video side, the component video output is fully compatible with high definition, progressive-scan digital video (720p). Pioneer Video Converter The Pioneer Video Converter allows more flexibility in hooking up video components as you can use a wide range of cords interchangeably.
