Pioneer - Elite 7.2-Ch. Hi-Res 4K Ultra HD HDR Compatible A/V Home Theater Receiver - Black
- Key Specs
- Number of Channels: 7.2 (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.)
- 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.)

- High Resolution Audio: true (Hear music the way musicians and sound technicians intended it to be heard. Products that support hi-res audio deliver audio signals with a dynamic range and bandwidth far greater than that of a standard CD so you'll be able to enjoy pure music with outstanding sound quality. 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.)
- Surround Sound Supported: DTS 96/24, DTS:X, Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD (Surround sound systems use multiple audio channels and speakers to create an immersive sound experience for the listener. There are also various proprietary technologies that imitate this kind of sound via a device's built-in speakers or soundbar.)
- Maximum Sampling Rate Supported: 5.6 MHz DSD (Generally, the higher the sampling rate, the greater the quality of audio and/or video.)
- Speaker A/B Switching: true (Allows a user to select between one of two sets of primary speakers.)
- Supported File Formats: AAC, AIFF, Apple Lossless, DSD, FLAC, MP3, WAV, WMA
- Equalizer: true (Allows for the control of different frequencies within an audio signal, such as adjusting treble and bass levels.)
- Inputs
- Front Facing Inputs: USB

- Features
- Auto Calibration: true (Home theater systems and receivers with an autocalibration function can automatically determine basic settings like speaker volume, crossover point, equalization, and more.)
- Digital Content Protection: HDCP 2.2 (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is designed to prevent copying of digital audio and video content as it travels across connections. Newer versions of HDCP support more connection types, increase security, and resolve weaknesses of previous versions.)

A: It "depends". If you listen to loud music, it has little dynamic range and you don't need a high sample rate. Listening to Classical music, which has a high dynamic range, may tempt you to listen to higher sampled music. But CD quality sound is only recorded at 48kHz. Why, because 48kHz divided by 2 = 24 Hz. A human can only hear up to about 20 Hz frequencies. And, the older you get, the lower the highest frequency you can hear. I'm 60 years old, and can only hear up to about 17Hz. The other factor is the sensitivity of your speakers. Very expensive speakers and receivers can handle the higher frequencies, but your average speaker cannot. But if your ears can't hear these higher frequencies, what does it matter. Experiments with people who listened to "High Resolution Audio" at 96kHz vs CD quality music at 48kHz shows that almost no one can tell the difference. You have to try to listen carefully to certain music notes to tell any difference, and if you are trying to do this, then you really aren't enjoying the music. Although most of us cannot hear these higher frequencies, some will argue that you need these higher frequencies because this sound will echo/reverberate off of walls and change the frequencies of other, lower frequencies. But this has not shown to be true in practice. This is due to the low decibel level of these higher frequencies. You can go to You Tube and see multiple videos explaining these concepts, and make your own decision. Me, I'll be more than happy with 48kHz. Google "Hi Res Audio VS CD" or search "Hi Res Audio VS CD" on You Tube. Let us know what you think.
A: Output is all HDMI. you have 2 HDMI outputs. One supports ARC, the other is a sub output. yes it accepts composite/ component to HDMI. Only 1 component and 1 composite. It does have analog audio inputs for 4 devices, excluding phono
A: Yes you will get sound with the receiver off. It has HDMI pass thru so as long as you connect components and your tv via HDMI everything will work even with the receiver off.
Q: I'm not seeing an optical -out on this unit - ? there are two optical-ins
A: There is no optical output on this unit. The only audio output is through HDMI connections and the zone 2 RCA outputs!
A: All you need is a standard subwoofer cable for this receiver. I have two Klipsch 12” powered subs, and I use the Rocketfish brand sub cables.
A: You just hold the arrow button.
