    • Continuous Watts x Channel @ Ohms: 80 watts x 5 channels @ 6 ohms
    • Number of Channels: 5.1 (The number of discrete channels of sound output. This can be a single number or multiple numbers separated by decimal(s). The first number is the primary, horizontally directed audio channels. The number after the first decimal, if applicable, is the number of subwoofer outputs or channels. The number after the second decimal, if applicable, is the number of height or atmospheric channels designed to immerse the listener by producing overhead sound effects.)
    • Number of Audio Zones: 1 (Audio zones, typically designated by rooms in a home, are areas in which all speakers are dependent on the same sound source. Whether a zone encompasses one or multiple rooms, the receiver or preamp/processor is used to control all aspects of its audio and is able to select which zones receive sound.)
    • Audio Only Inputs: 3 x Analog audio, 1 x 3.5mm audio, 1 x Coaxial digital audio, 1 x Optical digital audio
    • Audio/Video Inputs: 4 x HDMI (The number and type of HDMI inputs the product has.)
    • Network Connector(s): 1 x LAN
    • Video Pass-through: 2160 (4K), HDR (Devices with this feature allow video signals to travel from their source to a target device without alteration. For example, a receiver with 4K pass-through would allow 4K video signal from a Blu-ray player to pass to a target TV with surround sound; without the pass-through ability, the receiver would not allow both 4K video and surround sound to be transmitted simultaneously.)

The device supports high-resolution audio signals, which more closely resemble the quality of music as it was originally recorded, with more texture and detail than can be heard via typical music streaming services or CDs.)

    • Supported File Formats: AAC, AIFF, Apple Lossless, DSD, FLAC, MP3, WAV, WMA
    • DSP Modes: 11 (Available sound modes that alter how the audio is processed and played back. A common example is a mode that allows stereo audio to be played on all available surround sound speakers, creating a simulated surround sound effect.)

Q: How well does this product integrate with Spotify Connect, AirPlay, and the like?

A: I have Airplay, but I do not currently have a subscription to the other music services. The Pioneer VSX-832 work very well with Airplay when using my Apple device. I really enjoy using Airplay along with Pioneer Remote app to control the device.

Q: what is a good power sub woofer to use with this receiver

A: I have 2 Pioneer 100watt subwoofers connected each side of room. Works great and still less expensive than one expensive sub. Also more flexibility as to placement for acceptable performance.

Q: Does it have FM radio ?

A: Yes it does.

Q: Since it is Bluetooth enabled does that mean that I can connect my Android phone via Bluetooth to play my playlists (and if I do that, what will come out of the 3 speakers that are not just L/R)?

A: Your question is kinda confusing but Yes it’s Bluetooth and whatever you tell it to play it will play on the connected speakers you have on the receiver.
