  • Key Specs
    • Continuous Watts x Channel @ Ohms: 80 watts x 7 channels @ 4 ohms
    • 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.)
    • Number of Audio Zones: 2 (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, 1 x Phono
    • Audio/Video Inputs: 4 x HDMI (The number and type of HDMI inputs the product has.)
    • Network Connector(s): 1 x LAN, 1 x RS-232
    • 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.)
    • Maximum Supported Resolution (Video Passthrough): 2160p (4K) (The highest video resolution supported by the device for passing through video to another device.)
    • Audio/Video Outputs: 1 x HDMI (The number and type of HDMI outputs the product has.)
    • Wireless Connectivity: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi (The manner in which a device sends data to another device over a short distance without the use of wires or cables.)

    • 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.)
    • Number of Audio Zones: 2 (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.)
    • 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.)
    • 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.)

Whats Included
  • Pioneer Elite 7.2-Ch. Hi-Res 4K Ultra HD HDR Compatible A/V Home Theater Receiver

Q: How many Watt is this stero

A: This is 80 watts per channel.

Q: Can you send to wireless speakers in a different room.

A: I don't know about other speakers but I have a Bluetooth subwoofer on the other side of my family room that it communicates with.

Q: why do a/v receivers rated at 7.2 accommodate more then the obvious front left and right speakers, The rear left and right speakers,sub-woofer,and center channel

A: 7.2 allows for 3 more speakers than the ‘usual’ 5.1 setup you describe... 5.1 translates to 5 channels plus 1 sub - 5.1. So a 7.2 system can accommodate 2 extra surround speakers (sides) plus the option of L and R subs. It’s a bit overkill, but there’s always got to be a next best thing, and if you have a true home theater, L/R subs and side surrounds can provide a more surrounding experience.

Q: I purchased poll audio T50 tower speakers will this amp be plenty of power

A: Congrats on your new Polk speakers! Short answer: yes. Long answer: the T50's are rated at an impedance of 6ohms. At 6ohms, this receiver is rated at 170w/ch, with 2 channels driven. "Channels driven," as I understand it, roughly translates as: "this is is the nominal power of the system at this impedance when there are this many channels outputting sound at the same time." That said, many input sources will output from more than two channels at once, resulting in slight reductions in power output, and slight increases in THD, or total harmonic distortion. Now, the T50's are rated at a maximum power handling of 150w, but Polk recommends a very broad range of 20w-100w. The VSX-LX102's power is plenty for this system, but might actually be a little overpowered. There's nothing terribly wrong with that, but you would have to be careful to avoid clipping, and ultimately damaging your floor speakers at higher volumes.

Q: Can I get any higher than 80w @ 8ohm speakers if I run a 5.1 setup and not a 7.2? I want to be at 125W per channel @ 8ohms.

A: at 8 ohms you will only get 80 watts, at 6ohms you will get up to 170Watts. As the ohms increases the watts decreases. if you look at the power specs at the pioneer site it will tell you this info. https://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Home/AV-Receivers/Elite+Receivers/VSX-LX102#specs

Q: Does this receiver display the volume on screen when it is adjusted up or down?

A: Hi, you are correct the volume does display on the screen when you adjust it. I did notice that it's not a number example 0 being low to 100 max but instead it's dB (decibels). Hope that helps.
