Pioneer VSX-D512S Review

Overall Rating

80 W x 5 Besides Dolby Digital and DTS decoders, there is Pro Logic II processing that has the ability to create a surround experience even from two-channel recordings. Using Virtual Surround Back mode, you can delight your senses with an additional virtual surround back channel to experience 6.1-channel sound with a 5.1 speaker set-up when listening to sources with a surround channel. This A/V receiver features all the technology you need to enjoy the future of surround. There are built-in 96 kHz/24-bit DACs, PHA (Pioneer Hybrid Amplification) for all 5 channels, and 5.1-channel inputs for high-precision audio from DVD-Audio or SACD discs, as well as an internal direct construction design that virtually eliminates interference.

No sixth channel, no THX

With this Pioneer VSXD512S receiver you get basicly all you need for a high-class home cinema. And last but definitely - not least - you get it at a very reasonable price.
